Print It

In today's digital age, it's easy to snap photos, store them on our devices, and occasionally share them on social media. However, there's something uniquely special about printed photographs that make them worth cherishing. That route is very temporary. A few likes on social, forgotten on a hard drive. Let’s do more with your images. Print them out.

Tangible Memories

Printed photos serve as tangible memories that you can hold, touch, and display. They offer a physical connection to the moment captured, evoking emotions and nostalgia in a way that digital images often cannot. Whether it's a family portrait or a candid shot from your vacation, having a printed copy allows you to relive that memory in a more personal and intimate way.

Display and Decoration

Printed photos offer endless opportunities for displaying and decorating your home or office. You can frame your favorite shots, create a gallery wall, or even make personalized home decor items such as photo pillows, mugs, or coasters. These visual reminders of your cherished memories can enhance the ambiance of any space, adding warmth and character.

Gifts and Keepsakes

Printed photos make thoughtful gifts and keepsakes for your loved ones. Whether it's a framed print of a special moment, a custom photo book, or a set of personalized notecards, these heartfelt gestures are a meaningful way to share and celebrate the memories that you hold dear.

Supporting Professional Photographers

When you invest in printed photo sessions, you are supporting the work of professional photographers who dedicate their time and talent to capturing your memories. By purchasing prints, you not only receive high-quality, archival-grade photos but also contribute to the livelihoods of these skilled artists.

In conclusion, there is immense value in preserving your photo sessions through prints. The tangible nature of printed photos fosters a deeper connection with your memories, creates a lasting legacy for future generations, enhances your living spaces, and supports the work of professional photographers. So, the next time you have a photo session, be sure to consider the importance of printing your images and cherishing those memories for a lifetime.

Reasons you need prints in your life (Copy)

Reasons you need prints in your life.

While I love and respect the posting and sharing of my clients’ images after one of my photoshoots, I feel like clients should go the extra mile and get those images printed. It doesn’t even have to be through me. I’m in the process of getting photo release cards so clients don’t run the risk of other places not printing my photography. If you take the time and spend the money on a shoot, some sort of physical product should be purchased as well. If you just take the digital prints and never do anything with them you run the risk of losing the USB and your computer crashing. Yes this is worse case scenario it won’t happen right away. I only archive my clients’ images for a year or so.

Showing off the digital images can be a nuisance also. You need to be near a computer. You need to find the USB if it’s not saved on your computer. Physical products are usually on a coffee table, on your wall, or make your mornings bright when you hold your coffee mug with my images on them. You see these products every day.

You have choices as well. You’re free to take your images to Walmart or Costco. I don’t recommend it. I won’t stop you. I will warn you that the quality and colors will most likely be subpar. The quality of those products won’t compare with manufactures that strictly deal with professional photographers. Screens are calibrated and images are color corrected so you receive the best image possible.

Yes it will cost more. There is nothing wrong with going the less expensive route. Quality will make your images stand out though. Just what ever you do, don’t let your image collect dust hidden in a drawer.
