“Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” -Dr. Suess

Why did you want your portrait, or your family’s portrait made? It can’t possibly be to “only” post on social media…right??? Think with me for a second… Your grandmother and grandfather are celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary. Their marriage was extremely well documented with precious photos at every major event. You decided that you want to look at their wedding pictures, so grandma pulls out a box, opens it up…..and there are 3.5 floppy disks labeled “wedding dress/reception/first dance…” Where in the world would you find the the technology to read that information. And if you think I am crazy, 12 years ago, photographers delivered images on a DVD, and a CD before that… Now lets put you back in that same situation… She pulls a box from her closet and pulls a aged album filled with amazing memories. Tangible portraits that you can touch and enjoy, that you can look back with the flip of the page and those memories will live on in this album. Don’t get me wrong, I do sell digital images, but we want you to have the option to go further, to do more and to create that family heirloom that will have so much more meaning than a social post. After all… you could be that grand parent showing your grandchildren that album. They are your images and they deserved to be printed with precision and elegance, and that is what our studio offers.
Selection and Creation Session
Your session doesn’t stop after the pictures are taken, not in the least. About a week after your session, I invite you back to my studio to take a look at your spectacular images. We display your images through a projector screen while you and your family sit back, relax and enjoy some snacks. We will go over all your images, the looks, the smiles, the color grading… all while narrowing down your sessions images to your absolute favorites. You get to view all your images in amazing custom color and our signature black and white, all while deciding which collection and/or products will accent your home. Once we get that accomplished then we can move on to your product selections.
Prints and Products
What should you do, and how should you display your images. At the Selection session we will got through the options and see previews of your images. Products like Wall Art, Prints and Albums create the perfect outlet for your family images to be seen by everyone that visits your home or work space. With custom designing service included with your session fee and purchase, I can guarantee that no one will ever have anything close to what I create for you.
wall art
Wall art is the perfect avenue for your favorite images. Whether is a singular gallery wrap that accents your room, or a wall collage of several poses from your session to be centerpiece of the accompanying decor. We walk you through what looks best and which images are going to make your room pop. After your session, we ask you to send us a cellphone shot of a wall that you would like to decorate. When you arrive to your Selection and Creation Session, I will have that wall pulled up in our software to show you exactly what your family portrait will look like when they are all printed up and ready. But out customer service at Image doesn’t stop there… Everyone knows that its a pain to hang pictures, and to make sure that they are straight, and even to create the look that you are wanting. When you purchase Wall Art from Image Photography, we personally deliver the artwork and hang the artwork up in your home just like we displayed it in the viewing area.
Professional Prints
One of my favorite things to do with my family is upgrade our pictures in the various frames in our home. Looking through our past pictures that have made their home in our favorite frames behind our newest portraits. Its like opening up a little time capsule once a year dating all the way back when our family was just my wife and I. All my prints are printed in house on a state of the art ultra wide formate printer. I print on the best premium luster photo paper to give my printed images an extra bit of vividness while keeping a happy medium of texture and shine. At Image Photography, I get to touch each and every part of the portrait and print process, from the capture and edit, to the printing, coating and packaging. This allows me to make sure that what I captured and what you saw is being portrayed perfectly in your prints. We offer several print options that include desk and wall prints, and mounting and framing options.
Albums
So you have your favorite shot hanging on the wall, but you want something to show off your entire session, albums are exactly how you achieve this goal. We offer several types of albums at Image Photography. Session albums that feature 20 of the photographers favorites in a bound leatherette 5x5 or 8x8 album, to custom sized coffee table books that take your favorite images from the session and artistically display them spread by spread. The album process starts at the Creation and Selection session where you pick your favorite images and order your album. After that, we get designing and creating, once a digital design is created we send you a proof for approval. Here is the best part you get two revisions to make sure that every picture is exactly where you want it and how you want it… Albums are a great way to keep the traditional feeling to your portrait experience, and actually have a physical showing of your images.
