The importance of prints (Part 2)

I've made it easier than ever for you to receive tangible memories when you book a photo session with me. From prints to products, I've spent time picking out collections and choosing what to offer to ensure you quality and durability for years to come. You see I really want you to have images you can treasure..but not just saved on your phone or computer somewhere. When booking a photo session with me you are not just paying for "a few photos" but a bespoke service that leaves you with lasting moments frozen in time. If all you are looking for is digital images then I’m probably not the photographer for you.

I wanted to take a few moments today to go over the main products I have chosen for each of my three collections available to book for sessions.(Besides limited edition.) The main product stays the same throughout all of my collections however additional prints and products are also included depending on which option you go for. From newborn to sitter sessions, outdoor adventures and more I’ve chosen products that will suit your session type and look great in your home from acrylic panels to boxed canvas. Please contact me for full collection lists for the session type you are looking for, slight variations between each.

Collection one

This collection includes a beautiful 10x10 album with 6 spreads, which can hold up to 20 images. I'm absolutely in love with it! From the durability standpoint to the final design and how it looks. These albums can be completely customised to your liking with many different fabric options including leather, linen and lace in a variety of colours and textures. For my sample album I went for Duck Egg with foiling text on the front. Besides newborn sessions which include canvas, collection one also includes an 8x10 float acrylic panel as well as the 20 matching digitals on USB.

Collection two

This collection incudes a 6x4 mini album with 6 spreads, up to 12 images. These mini albums can also be customised with a variety of fabrics, textures colours etc. I went for White Lace for my sample and it really is lovely! Same sort of album as collection one only these are much smaller. (First image is the size comparison between the two.) Collection two also includes 3 5x7 mounted lustre prints + 15 matching digitals on USB.

Collection three

This collection includes 7 beautiful 5x7 mounted lustre prints with the matching digital images on usb. Perfect size to share with friends and family or to keep, frame and display at home.

The importance of prints (Part 1)

In this digital age that we live in, it’s even more important than in the past to print the images that we take. This is simply because we just aren’t doing so as a society. They are saved on our phones, backed up to the cloud, posted on social media... but more often than not they can sometimes just end up lost forever. If you want to preserve something, you have to print it!

Your memories shouldn’t have to die when your phone does. Online storage is NOT as safe as its made out to be. Technology is constantly changing. A USB may end up like a floppy disk, Apple already stopped making CD drives. Who really knows if we will have access to all of these stored digital images years from now.

When your grandchildren or great grandchildren go searching for photos, what will they find? A broken USB, a link to an expired online gallery? Or beautiful prints and products that they can hold in their hands and admire? Just remember in years to come when we celebrate the people we love, you can’t frame a thumb drive.

Top 5 reasons to PRINT

1. While going through your images on a screen can still be fun its nothing like actually holding those prints in your hands. Images when printed invoke so much more emotion and makes your memories that bit more tangible.

2. There is absolutely no guarantee that the technologies of tomorrow will be able to read the photos we take/store digitally today. Your children and their children will thank you for printing.

3. Printed photos on display in your home help boost your child’s sense of identity and makes them feel more valued. Seeing them every day are great reminders, where as what do you think they think about when they walk past a USB drive?

4. Phones can be lost, laptops can be broken, online storage websites can go out of business, USB’s malfunction and gallery links don’t last forever. If you want to preserve it, print it.

   5. The quality of prints has came a long long way. It is now easier than ever before to order online, create albums, order prints and wonderful products to cherish forever. I order all of my prints and products from a dedicated photographic lab for professional photographers to ensure you receive long lasting quality items from me.
