The Best Way to Preserve Your Family Photos

CUSTOM PHOTO BOOKS: 20 PAGE SPREAD, THICK, ARCHIVAL PAPER, ENGRAVED ON THE FRONT, WRITTEN WORDS FROM YOU TO PRESERVE YOUR STORY! WE WILL CREATE IT ALL FOR YOU!

You have invested in professional family and newborn photography. We have styled your session, your images are artistically beautiful and when seen together they tell your family’s story. So, what should you do next to preserve this investment? So often we get our images and then let them sit in a digital file on our phones or computers and they simply get lost! These photographs are a treasure. They have preserved time and are a part of your family history. So, what are your options and here is what I offer you:

CUSTOM PHOTO ALBUMS

This is my favorite way for you to preserve your photographs! We can design an 8x8 or 10x10 with a 20 page spread of your story all in a beautiful book with thick archival quality pages. These lay-flat books will be engraved with your child’s or family name and you can provide me with written text that I will incorporate into the design. Your family’s story all wrapped up in a beautiful linen or leather covered book! Display easily on a shelf or coffee table! Done!

FINE ART PRINTS

Fine Art and Matte Prints come with every collection. What is the difference and why do I choose the over regular photo paper?

Fine Art

PURCHASE A GLASS OR LINEN BOX OF YOUR FINE ART PRINTS TO KEEP THEM WELL PRESERVED AND EASY TO ACCESS ANY TIME!

  • Acid Free, fine art paper is normally much thicker and is made from archival cotton rag. This results in a product that will last 75-100 years.

  • Fine Art prints have a thicker texture and matte are smooth

  • Galleries and Museums usually prefer fine art paper prints

  • Require printing by professionals or specific fine art printers as the ink used are different and usually have a greater range of colors

  • Fingerprints aren’t as visible but they may scratch easily and fine art prints should be framed as soon as possible to protect them.

Regular Photo Papers

  • Generally for high quality papers, photo papers are resin coated and fine art papers aren’t.

  • Photos printed on very white glossy photo papers usually fade quicker due to the chemicals used in production

  • Coated papers are very smooth, shiny and results in a reflective surface. The end result of the photo often looks vibrant in color, crisp and sharp.

  • Finger prints are more visible but will not scratch as easily as Fine Art

FRAMED PRINTS

Take it one step further and I will frame your images for you. Show me your walls and I will create a gallery design for you. When framing, select three framed images on a regular sized wall for balance and symmetry. Examples of what your images look like framed are in your gallery, or I can create a mock up for you! I also have multiple framing colors on hand to show you. All framed images will be delivered to your home by me to insure quality.
