Nope, no photos. We have a grand total of 4 nails in our walls in our entire house: 1 professional line drawing and 1 mirror in the living room; 1 flower painting in the bedroom; and 1 mirror in the guest room. That's it.
My husband would die (if he weren't already dead) from all the nail holes I've put in our walls! He hated nail holes; I missed having stuff hanging. I had completely forgotten until I saw your 4-nail-holes comment. That's about what he allowed. 3 pictures plus the mirror in the bedroom, which took 2. So 5. I bet I have 30 if not 40 now.
my mom has wanted a towel bar hung in the kitchen on the end of a cupboard for 30 years. Dad says absolutely not. no. you will never be able to take it down and get the cabinet to look right again.
thankfully, HM doesn't think like that. We have a decent amount of photos, mostly wedding, but a few of other family. A few "art" pieces (prints by local people, mass prints from big box stores, a satellite map from the USGS, a re-print of an old map of our town)

We have a small gallery wall with a combination of family photos and random framed art. Two photos (one wedding, one of me, my mom, my grandma, and dd) on the mantle. A large wedding photo hanging in our room. And several of family and pets hanging from a board in my office.
I love pictures. And we can't afford much real art. Lol.

We have a lot pictures up. We have our wedding picture, family pictures, pictures of our girls, our parents (with the girls), grandparents (with the girls), our nieces & nephews.
Yes, all over. In our upstairs hallway (by the bedrooms), going up the staircase, on the wall above the piano in the living room, and I have a gallery wall in our family room. In the basement they are mostly on bookcases. What I want to do down there is get that photo wallpaper for the one big wall without windows.
I have regular paintings in my dining room/living room and my bedroom.
Um, we will. We moved into this house in June and I still don't have anything hanging on the walls, but I have every intention of hanging a couple of photos from our wedding (mainly not of us) as part of a gallery wall.

I have pictures of my daughters but not of us as a family. Our wedding picture is sitting on the floor in our bedroom. We' ee been here a year already, I should probably hang it.
We don't have anything up on the walls yet. But I intend to do a gallery wall in the 2nd floor hall, and then another collection of photos in the living room.
In our apartment, we had framed photos (engagement, wedding and then other family pics) on bookshelves, but not hanging on the walls.
I have a few on my desk. I don't do family photographs in public parts of my house. My upstairs hall is all gallery. I have picturs going abck to my grandparents as children.

Just a few. Someday I'll get around to putting up more. Most of them are of our travels, but also have some of our parents and siblings' families, and from our wedding.

Yes but just one of H and I. Everything else is art work MIL painted (she's SO talented!) or pictures my dad took (he's a professional photographer and also super talented). I lucked out.

Yes, our last family photo session. DH made me gigantic plexiglass hanging frames for one of our anniversaries, and whenever we do pro photos we order enough prints to fill the frames.
There are a few other random photos, like an Ansel Adams print in one of the bathrooms and a photo DH took at Joshua Tree. The only other hanging photo of us is a collage that DH put together for our first anniversary, which has a picture of us right before he proposed, plus a bunch of other photos of us as background for text that he wrote about that day and his thoughts.
Sure, two wedding pix, two of Hart, my bridal portrait in the upstairs hall. We have floor to ceiling book cases in the living room, which are filled with family photos.
