I really want to talk about my passion for print, because in this digital era of swiping and forgetting the photos you saw just yesterday, print is not always considered. A printed photograph engages the senses and feels more, you hold it carefully or you hang it on a wall and it means more, and the ones that are printed, are the ones you’re going to remember and become part of your legacy. To have family photos hanging on a wall or in an album, gives kids a tangible testament of family to look back on, and builds their self esteem. Digital files are great so you can have them ALL and share on social media etc., but they can get lost, and they can degrade or become corrupt over time, can be archived solely on an outdated format, so that’s why I’m encouraging both digital and print. It so great to have those special photos to walk by everyday and have conversations about, instead of having to show your kids photos on a computer screen. I speak a lot to families, but it really brings everyday joy and reminders of love into couples lives too.

Here are some beautiful printed products that help your images last the ages, and bring art into your everyday life.

 

Wall Art

Framed Prints

Bring design with heart to your walls with archival quality framed art that becomes heirloom pieces for generations. Comes with frame and archival mat, retouched print, acrylic facing with UV protection, dust paper, and hardware ready to hang. Frame a single image to give a focal point to a room, or a grouping to make an impactful impression with thoughtful design. I consult you and help you choose sizes, images, and frames, to fit your space.

 

 

Canvases

Canvas’s are great for those that love to add texture and warmth to a room and present your family photographs as works of art. Can be unframed, or framed for a more refined look.

Typically used for weddings, but can also make for a more durable family album or boudoir album. 

A quote from one of my wedding clients about their Modern Album: “The quality of the album is amazing. It almost feels sacred. Kelly did a great job of portraying the narrative of the day within the album, so it felt like we were reliving the wedding as we looked through it. Having the photos is one thing; having an album is a completely different level.” – Elise & Kyle

Retouched prints

Make sure your photos are printed to perfection with retouched prints. Retouching includes: Removing blemishes, softening/removing unflattering lines, controlling flyways, lightening/darkening areas to give the most impact, evening out skin tones, a more refined color correction/b&w adjustment, and removing distracting elements. And then I promise, prints made through my professional lab are much better than what can be commonly found on the consumer-level. When you have a print that lives on a wall for 30 years, it’s nice to have it polished up and well printed. All my products above will be retouched with an exception of the print box.

 

I believe investing into photography and putting art into your lives will gain value over time. The more life changes, the more we forget, and we’ll look back and love that we have them more and more as the years go on.
