Why Prints Matter
Do you remember growing up that most parents would have the shoe box in the closet filled with old pictures. Some were handed down for generations, some were picked up at the local 24hr printer. But they were there, ready to be admired, laughed over and reminisced. And would even guess that the same prints are sitting in some box somewhere ready to be handed down. Now imagine if your parents or grandparents only took pictures on their phone.
You are putting in the hard work, dressing up, wrangling together your kids and maybe the family dog. Convincing your husband or partner that this matters to you. You should be able to look at your favorite image on your hallway wall every day.
Holiday Card Inspiration
And during the holiday season your first thought is creating that holiday card. I have a great list of my preferred online direct-to-consumer holiday card companies you can check out with my tips for Best Places to Order Your Photo Holiday Cards. Getting around to printing your memories, however, can be yet another checklist item you just don’t have time for. That is another reason why printing your memories is best handed over to the professional. Once you choose your collection; you will choose your digital images and the select amount of prints. Prints and digital images combined to make it as easy for you as possible.
A week or so later, they will be delivered ready to frame or keep in your very own shoe box. It’s the best of both worlds, prints married with your digital images.
When you invest in professional photography, you should see what a professional print looks like. The colors will be vivid on luster paper (not too glossy and not too dull) and the thickness of the paper feels great in your hands. My computer screen is calibrated for the professional printing labs I use and I know the quality you get will be much better than a quick print. Prints and digital images should look the same in quality.
A Wall Gallery to Grow With your Kids
We are all overwhelmed by the amount of digital images on our phone. So much, that it’s hard to face the idea that one good drop and they might be gone. Although your professional photos will be printed, it’s hard to know what to do with all the snapshots you take daily. Here’s a great article by Artifact Uprising about how and what to do with them. There is no better way to enjoy your pictures than to see your kids smiling back at you in a beautiful gallery the whole family will enjoy everyday.
Digitals and prints truly are a love story.
