In a world full of portrait photographers that are all about " the digitals" I am a rare breed that is all about the print, and here is why.
Let me start by saying I do understand that we live in a digital world with so many different social media platforms that you want to show off your gorgeous portraits of yourself, so I'm not totally against digitals and every client of mine does leave their experience with digitals they can proudly upload. However I don't stop there the digital is not the complete product. In my opinion a digital image is like going to the bakery, ordering a cake, then receiving eggs and flower. All of my clients leave their experience with a beautifully professionally crafted physical portrait that they can proudly display in their home.
I have been a portrait photographer for 15 years. 15 years ago the trendy thing was getting a "CD" or a "Disk" of their digitals. Now just 15 years later that is old technology and computers are not even made with the option to load a CD. If I have only given my clients 15 years ago a CD they wouldn't even be able to access their portraits today. I also have personal experience with regret of only having digital. Before I was a professional photographer I only had digitals of my children when they were babies, stored all of my treasured memories on my computer. Then my computer crashed and I lost all of those treasures and if I would have printed I today would have my children's baby pictures I'm still so sad about that mishap and I want to guarantee that does not happen to my clients. My prints have at least a 200 year lifespan if taken care of so these are heirlooms to be past down to generations.
There is something magical about prints, could you imagine going to art museum and instead of gorgeous physical art there were digitals on display. That would totally ruin the vibe and the magic of the art museum. Same goes for your portraits. There is something magical about a child curling up in a moms, or grandma's lap and looking at a portrait album. Coming home from school and feeling loved and a sense of place because you are greeted with a gorgeous Family portrait hanging on your wall. Waking up in the morning to get ready for work and being reminded of how gorgeous you are when you have the blahs because of that gorgeous portrait you are displaying like a work of art. You loose that magic in the digital.
I do the work for you, the entire experience. I help with wardrobe, I help with location, I have talented hair and makeup artist for you, I help with interior design for your wall art, I make sure your prints are perfect. From start to finish I'm there guiding and designing to guarantee you end your experience with a gorgeous work of art you can display in your home.
