“A photograph keeps a moment from running away

– Eurora Welty

People think print is dead in today’s day. Print is not dead at all. This is such a special thing…

I mean, digitals are cool too!

But, are you going to sit down and look at your images on your computer all the time? The answer is simple: You really are NOT going to!

So, what you really want is make sure you have something that is going to be there -live forever. Not only for you to enjoy, but also something to pass on to your children and even further down the line – just like the ALBUM (more about albums here). Digitals should not be just on a computer, or a phone, where they just simply die over time.

I am a huge advocate for prints as I believe photographs should be experienced, should be looked at, should be touched, should be hung on walls and enjoyed every day. …to have that emotional feel of the day you are drawn at, every time you look at those photographs.

Old wedding albums, framed family photographs and rusty tins full of loose prints – that is how we remember viewing photographs with our friends and family.Prints tell stories.

Looking at photographs in their physical form allows you to slow down and enjoy the memories associated with them on their own and without the distractions of notifications and adverts popping up while you view them.

With so many digital storage options at your client’s fingertips, it is important to remember one thing – technology comes and goes. Would you have the same nostalgic feeling if all you had to view your parents wedding images on a floppy disk? Would you even be able to use it?

I really love when my clients invest in prints and wall art. I only use professional photography printing lab that produces high quality products that can be enjoyed for years and generations. You can print photos from your Newborn Photo Session, Maternity Session, Portrait session or even a Branding session during which we create beautiful portraits of you and your family.

Wall products look fantastic in living rooms, bedrooms or even hallways. Albums can be very handy whenever you want to remind yourself about that particular day. All comes in variety of sizes and finishes. Check out my PRINT SHOP and see what suits your needs.

As technology evolves, chances are that the method of storing images, like USB storage keys, are going to go the way of the floppy disc within the next decade. When was the last time you saw a computer with a working floppy disk drive? Will home computers still have USB drives in ten years?”

I hope this post will convince you, my lovely client,s that it is worth investing in professional photography printing, albums and wall art products. You photo session experience should not end only on receiving photographs in digital form.
