Why You Should Invest in Professional Prints: A Photographer’s Perspective
When it comes to preserving memories, I am truly passionate about ensuring you get the best quality for your investment. While making money is part of my job—as it is for any professional—my primary focus is on you and ensuring you receive the highest quality prints from your cherished photos.
The Value of Professional Photography
You've already invested significant time and money to have your photos taken by a professional. When you receive the link to your gallery and fall in love with the images, the excitement is palpable. You might share a few on social media: a new profile picture on Facebook, a stunning banner, or a series of posts on Instagram. But is that where it ends? Did you really just spend hundreds of dollars on photos only to let them sit in cyberspace?
Bringing Your Memories to Life
Consider the various places where printed photos can add value to your life:
-
What about that spot on the mantle that needs an updated photo?
-
Or the wall you’ve been dying to turn into a gallery?
-
Think about the grandparents who would cherish a framed photograph.
-
Your husband’s desk at work could also use a touch of family love.
The Importance of Quality
Now that we’ve established the importance of printing your photos, let’s talk about where to print them. Does it matter if you opt for an online print shop over your professional photographer? The answer is a resounding yes. The primary reason for printing through your photographer is quality. When you print through your photographer, you’re guaranteed the highest standards of:
-
Image Quality: Sharp, clear images.
-
Paper Quality: Durable, high-quality paper.
-
Color Accuracy: True-to-life colors, matching what you received in your gallery.
Too often, I hear people say they loved their images but were disappointed when they printed them elsewhere. They complain that the photos were “fuzzy,” the colors were “muddy,” or they “didn’t look as good.” My first question is always: “Did you print through your photographer?” Usually, the answer is “No.” A quick example is below-
The Professional Advantage
Professional photographers are connected to professional labs with the highest standards for paper quality, color matching, and image integrity. Unlike consumer print shops, these labs cater exclusively to professional photographers, ensuring top-tier results. We’re not just sending your photos to Shutterfly and marking up the price; we’re working with the best to deliver the finest quality prints.
Supporting Small Businesses
Lastly, by choosing to print through your photographer, you’re supporting a small business. You’ve already paid for our time and expertise in capturing your family’s moments. Each print is not just paper and ink; it’s a piece of art, refined through years of mastery and dedication. We are small businesses, and your support helps us continue our craft. Just as you support the local bookstore around the corner, supporting your photographer makes a significant difference.
Ready to Preserve Your Memories?
Do you have a gallery with me? Are you ready to purchase those prints? I would love your support and for you to have quality heirlooms. Additionally, I offer a variety of beautiful art prints that would look incredible on your walls.
