As a photographer, one of the greatest joys of my work is seeing the look on a client’s face when they first see their images. Recently, I had the privilege of working with Kelly and her family. With one daughter in college and another in high school, both on the brink of graduation, Kelly wanted to capture this moment in time. What we created together turned into more than just a collection of images—it became a piece of artwork that now hangs over their fireplace, bringing joy every single day.
Kelly and her husband invested in a framed superior canvas collection for their home. The emotion was palpable when they first saw the images during the viewing and ordering appointment. Kelly was overwhelmed with love and asked to see the video slideshow again—and cried for a second time. Moments like these remind me how much more photography can mean to a family than just a fleeting glance at a screen.
But this post isn’t just about Kelly’s story. It’s about the importance of printing your family’s images and turning them into tangible artwork.
Why printing your images is so important
In today’s digital world, it’s easy to leave your images on a screen—stored in a cloud, shared in a quick post on social media, or tucked away on your phone. But something magical happens when you turn those digital files into printed artwork. Here’s why I believe it’s so important:
1. Printed Art Makes Your Home a Reflection of Your Family
Kelly’s superior canvas is more than a decoration—it’s a daily reminder of her two daughters, their bond, and this special time in their lives. When you print your images, you’re not just showcasing beautiful portraits; you’re creating a space in your home that reflects the love, memories, and stories of your family.
2. Images Have a Greater Impact When Displayed
There’s a difference between scrolling past a digital image and taking a moment to stand in front of a printed photograph. The details, the color, the clarity—everything feels more real, more alive. Kelly’s framed canvas collection brings that feeling to life, capturing not only the beauty of her daughters but their personalities as well. Walking past those images every day brings a sense of warmth and pride that can only come from printed artwork.
3. Preserving Family Legacy for Future Generations
Printed images have a way of standing the test of time. Digital files can get lost, outdated, or forgotten. But a framed portrait on your wall, or an album on your coffee table, is something that gets passed down. It tells the story of your family in a way that’s lasting, meaningful, and tangible. When your children and grandchildren can look through these printed memories, they’re not just seeing faces—they’re feeling the love that’s been shared across generations.
4. The Emotional Connection is Deeper
Seeing Kelly’s reaction reminded me that photography is more than a job. It’s a way of helping families feel their love for one another in a new, deeper way. Clients like Kelly don’t just see their portraits—they feel them. And there’s something profoundly emotional about being able to look at the ones you love, captured in a moment, in such a meaningful and lasting form. Kelly’s tears of joy remind me of that emotional impact every time.
The Experience of a Family Session
Family sessions are about more than snapping a few photos. They’re about capturing the personalities, quirks, and connections that make your family unique. Whether your kids are young or on the cusp of adulthood like Kelly’s daughters, these sessions are designed to freeze time, even if just for a moment, so that you can always remember the love and joy of this stage of life.
For every family session, I work with you to create custom artwork that complements your home. Whether it’s a beautifully framed canvas, a custom album you can look through with your children, or a wall gallery that grows with your family, the focus is always on turning your session into something that brings lasting joy.
Kelly’s story is just one of many that shows the power of printing your images and the difference it can make in your home and heart. When you invest in custom artwork for your family, you’re creating more than memories—you’re creating something you can walk by, smile at, and feel every single day.
So if you’ve been thinking about booking a family session, let’s create something beautiful together that you can hang on your walls and cherish for years to come. Let’s make your family’s love something you can see, touch, and feel, every day.
