The Important Part

I spend hours in my office editing photos, designing photo albums and emailing clients.  To be honest, it’s not the most inspiring space.   We are in a rental, the wall colour is ugly and I can’t put any hooks up. The one hook that’s on the wall is off centred which drives me crazy! But there’s one thing in my office that brings me an incredible amount of joy.  I smile every time I look at it.  

It’s a framed print of my wife and son.

I’ve taken thousands of photos of my wife and son, edited the best, and sent the really good ones to family members via messenger or WhatsApp.  (I’m sure you do the same!) 

But that’s where it ends.

These photos are looked at, and they bring instant joy which then disappears when another iPhone notification dings or email chimes.

But the photo on my office wall, hung behind me as I type this, is something that is incredibly special.  If in some strange world I had to pick between the thousands of photos on hard drives of my wife and little boy or just the single framed print that sits in my office, the choice would be easy.  

The printed photo, every time.

The photos on my hard drive rarely get looked at after the event.  Let’s be honest, you’re probably the same.

If you’re going to make the investment in having me photograph your family, engagement or wedding, I’ll encourage you to think about the end result for your images.  We’ll discuss how you will display your images in the planning process. We’ll talk about what will look best in your home. Because having something printed and beautifully framed is the perfect way to finish your photos.  

Trust me; you’ll get so much more pleasure from seeing one of your favourite images on the wall of your home.

If you have any questions, please get in touch.  I’d love to help you create something beautiful for your family.
