We’re glad you asked. Honestly, I could write a book on the “look at my phone” fatigue that I personally and many of my friends have shared they too suffer from. At dinner or at work, we pass our phones back and forth and smile and nod and often it’s fine. But printing your professional photos and portraits gives you way more.

Gifts that keep giving!

For starters, prints make amazing gifts. On canvas or in frames, calendars or scrapbooks, people want to spend time with a photo vs. swiping a screen only slightly larger than a business card.

You Re-Live the Moment

I have a pal whose mom says, “you take a trip 3 times: once when you’re planning; again when you’re there and a third time when you look at the photos.” The same is true for big milestones or simple hikes in the woods. Make a print and you return to that moment, that day, that kiss, that ensemble every time you look at it.

Prints Make Great Decor

Pottery, plants, tapestries and wall art make your home or office uniquely yours. What puts your signature on it though is when it is personal and photography does that better than anything else. When we create custom walls for our clients, they give us a sense of the space and we bring their vision to fruition. We even come to your place to hang it so that there is symmetry and artistry in the final result.

Prints Make You Happy

While prints make superb birthday, graduation, holiday, Mother’s/Father’s/Grandparent’s Day gift, they also make you happy. Yes, you’re reliving a moment (see above), but you’re also just stopping in the current moment. I feel a sense of comfort and general happiness when I look at photo prints. They remind me how far I’ve come and are markers of the life I’ve lived.
