PRINTED PORTRAIT ARTWORK
When I began taking photos of families many years ago, I would provide the digital files of the photos. When I would see the family again, the following year or so, I always asked excitedly what they had done with their previous photos. Most of the time, the answer involved a sheepish, apologetic “Nothing, yet. We just haven’t had time.”
Not only did this mean the photos weren’t printed, but it meant that no one was looking at them and enjoying them. Knowing that the effort that went in to creating beautiful family images was wasted made me sad. And as digital storage and file formats constantly evolve, image files you have from years previous will eventually no longer be accessible.
So as part of a full-service to clients, every Package I offer includes Artwork in various printed formats. This ensures that you have professional, heirloom quality reproductions of your photos that you will see and enjoy regularly and for years to come.
I’m not holding back your digital files though. A number of digital images is also included in each Package.
In case you are on the fence about the importance of putting your family portraits on the walls, consider this impact:
“Displaying photos prominently in the home sends the message that our family and those in it are important to one another, and we honor the memories we have experienced.”
“For children in particular, looking at photographs is part of the socialising process; learning who you are and where you fit into the family. By displaying photographs of our children at different stages of their lives, we are making a very public statement that we are proud of them.”
