I’m going to tell you why you should print your photos and not just leave them on your digital device! Many of us can recall the time before social media and digital photography, when printing photos was the only option. One of my favorite jobs in high school was working in a one-hour photo printing lab at Walmart. It wasn’t too long ago when we still used film and had to drop off those canisters for developing. I truly enjoyed that job! Developing and cutting the negatives and handing customers their prints provided real-time satisfaction from a physical product. Of course, we now live in a digital world where making the effort to print your photos is necessary. But that effort is worthwhile. I’ll explain four reasons why printing your photos is important!
1 – Print Your Photos to Style Your Home
Remember the following message: When you want to decorate your home, printing out your favorite photos is a simple and wonderful way to add warmth and personality to your living space. Sometimes, it’s hard to find the perfect piece of art, but family photos are always a great choice! Hanging professional portraits of your loved ones on your walls makes your home look beautiful and welcoming. The best part is that everyone who comes into your home gets to see your special memories. So, don’t hesitate to print your photos in a big size and display them for all to enjoy!
2 – Avoid Losing Your Images in the Vast Digital Void
Remember the importance of hiring a professional for your family photos. You probably hired them because you wanted to capture those special moments and keep them forever. Nowadays, we all take a ton of photos with our phones, and they end up scattered across different storage devices. But what happens to those photos? Most likely, they get forgotten and never looked at again. Don’t let your important photos, the ones you paid for, get lost in the digital abyss. Print them out so you can have them with you, and cherish them for a long time.
Technology Changes – Print your photos for preservation
Technology changes so fast, and the devices we use today might not be around in a few years. Say goodbye to your photos if they’re stuck on a device! But if you take a moment to print your photos, they’ll be there for you and others to enjoy in the future!
3 – Keepsakes
Looking at old photos of special moments or simpler times can make us feel nostalgic. Printing your photos is a great way to remember those meaningful moments. Have you ever seen a Facebook memory and had no idea what it was about? It’s frustrating, right? Printing your photos ensures that you’ll always remember the story behind each picture. You can also create physical photo albums or keepsakes to pass down to your kids and grandkids. This way, your memories will be preserved for generations to come!
4 – Bring Joy to Your Every Day When You Print Your Photos
When you hire a professional photographer, it’s usually for a special occasion. These photo sessions create cherished memories. Make sure to print your photos so you can cherish and relive those precious moments more often. Display a large framed photo in your home to bring a smile to your face each time you see it. Create a beautiful album for your guests to enjoy when they visit, and consider printing smaller albums to give as meaningful gifts to your loved ones. The photos will bring joy and remind them of special moments every day!
I hope I’ve persuaded you to get your photos printed from your next photo session. For the highest quality prints, ask your photographer to help you out. We have connections to top-notch printing places, so you can get really great prints that will last a long time!
