"Why should we buy prints, and how do we do that?"
...
Why should we buy wall art, albums, or prints?
There are a few reasons why you may want to consider prints. The first one being obvious, to decorate your home and bring a sense of peace and personality into your home. You can show off your memories, family, wedding day, etc. to others and recall memories as you tell the story and meaning behind the photograph. It can also elevate your home and make your home feel and appear to be more warm and welcoming.
I know many people who love to look through their wedding photos on their anniversary in their wedding album. They get to spend the evening enjoying each others company over nice dinner and recall all the Wonderfull memories from their wedding day and all the work that went into it. A digital copy of your photos will never be the same as getting to hold a physical copy of your memories.
What we have found through out the years is our clients are busy. Life happens, kids grow, and getting quality prints quickly becomes a forgotten task. With our brand structure we walk with you from start to finish to ensure your images are displayed in your home in a high quality, beautifully executed way that you'll be proud to display and share with others!
In ten years those photos will likely be sitting in a folder somewhere on your computer forgotten. Printing your images solves this problem and helps you get the most out of your investment and helps you display them in a beautiful way.
Most of the printing labs we use are only accessible by photographers, meaning the quality and execution will be a step above what you can find at other places.
Many people forget to back up their photos. If something were to happen to your photos or the device they are stored on, you may not be able to recover the high quality versions of your photos. Sure, you might be able to retrieve a lower quality version by saving the photos you posted on Facebook or instagram, but the quality will never be what it was on the original files (and this will matter if you decide to print them later on). Many photographers will delete the gallery and the photos after a certain amount of time in order to free up space for new galleries. Printing your favorite photos on wall art to be displayed and all of your photos in an album ensures you get to keep your photos even if technology fails.
How do I order prints with you?
I allow every person who steps in front of my lens to print from anywhere they want, however, I highly encourage either ordering through the shop connected to your gallery or talking to me. The reason is not so I can increase sales, it is because I know and trust these quality printing companies. I choose the companies I include in the shop and who I order from very intentionally. Places such as Walgreens or Walmart are not high quality. Most of the time they don't even look at the photos before they package them. With the companies I have chosen to work with, they take great pride and care with each photo that they are trusted with, they will reprint photos if they don't come out right.
Now that that's out of the way... How do you actually order prints with me? The best and easiest way to order prints from me is for you to talk to me. This can a scheduled meet up a the local coffee house or over zoom. We get to talk about exactly what you want and what you want your home to feel like. We can talk about what would be best for your vision. After all those details are taken care of, we order the prints for you and when they arrive just get to enjoy them.
I know that taking on the phone or meeting up with people is not everyone's cup of tea, and because of that I do also include a digital shop attached to your gallery. You are more than welcome to order your prints yourself, or we can zoom and share your screen if you'd like to walk through it together. this option works well if you like talking through it with someone but are from out of state!
