Why It's Important to Work with a Photographer Who Uses a Professional Framer

After my client unboxed her frame she immediately texted me, “Oh my gosh, we just opened the photo collage…what a piece of art! Truly beautiful! We are thrilled.”

I will never get tired of this career.

How to boost your child's self-esteem during Covid

What I’m hearing from so many parents is that one of the hardest parts of this pandemic is their children’s loss of social interaction. Playing with other children helps develop their personality, as well as create self-esteem. What do you do when your child can no longer be social and play with friends?

Let's Finally Get Those Photographs onto Your Walls

Let's Finally Get Those Photographs onto Your Walls

How long have you been saying, “I really need to print these photographs and put them up”?

Be honest. You know it’s been a while, probably entirely too long.

Do you know why you haven’t done it yet? It’s too overwhelming. Let’s look at some possible reasons as to why you haven’t done it:

  1. You don’t have the time.

  2. You don’t know which photos will look good next to each other.

  3. You don’t know where to have your photographs printed.

  4. You don’t know where to purchase museum quality frames.

  5. You don’t know where the digital files are.

  6. You don’t know how to put a gallery wall together.

  7. You don’t know how to get custom sized prints and frames for your unique space.

  8. You don’t know where to start.

That's where a professional comes in. When I first started photography I just wanted to photograph the session, hand over the digital files, and be done with it. I started to notice that a lot of my couples, families, and boudoir clients had no clue what to do with these files. I would talk to them a year later and the files would still be sitting on their computer. This broke my heart and it was my job to come up with a solution. It's not fair to call myself a professional photographer if I'm not putting in the work.

I would highly recommend that you use an online storage, while also backing up to an external hard drive. Here are my recommendations:

In-Home Family Session

In-Home Family Session

I can not emphasize enough how important it is to work with a photographer who will get you family heirlooms for your home. What I mean by this is someone who will take the time to sit with you, go over the photographs with you, look at your home, decide if an album is better, decide if a framed gallery wall is better, decide if you’re someone who really is better suited for digital files, etc. I am 100% of the mind that photographs should get off of your computer and onto your walls. I also work with my clients to make sure that’s what’s going to be the best fit for them.
