🤘 Why You Need to Print Your Kick-Ass Photos (Seriously)

I’m going to be straight with you: I strongly support printing your photographs. And not just because I'm a photographer, but because I believe in the real deal.

Digital is great. I get it. You can share that killer senior portrait on Instagram instantly and Grandma can see the family chaos from 2,000 miles away. That's awesome.

But here’s the truth about digital that nobody wants to talk about: It's all built on quicksand.

That perfect photo on your phone right now? It’s just waiting for the next phone upgrade, the social media platform to crash or your hard drive to take a permanent nap. Everything digital disappears eventually. It's the modern version of a VHS tape that nobody can play anymore!

Real Memories Need Walls, Not Passwords

Printed photos are different. They are durable, real and completely immune to battery failure.

Think about the photos your parents and grandparents have—the ones taped up in an old album or framed on the wall. Those physical prints survive house moves, software updates and the passage of time.

Holding a print is different. You can feel the surface, see the faces and instantly trigger a memory of that special moment. Real photography exists to create meaningful connections between people, not just provide quick access to content.

Stop Hoarding Digital Files. Start Living With Art.

I want you to enjoy your investment every single day. The initial cost of printing is worth it because you get to walk past your framed family chaos or that epic senior portrait whenever you want.

See How Much Prints Will Cost You

Every time you look at that wall art or flip through an album, you experience the moment again—no scrolling, no passwords, no phone power required.

My job is to create unforgettable images. Your job is to make sure they stick around. So do yourself a favor: Print your photos! 

They deserve to be on a wall, not locked on a hard drive. Let's make sure those memories last forever.
