Where did you get your last prints done? Did your photographer provide you with professional high quality prints and products? Are you happy with what you purchased? Did you make the right decisions?
Scheduling a photo session is one thing, having to decide what products to get with the images is another. Don't ever be afraid to ask questions, it's the photographers job to educate you and show you all the different options you have. Every photographer is different, and has it's unique style, and so usually carries the products that best suit that style and the personal taste of the photographer. If you like the photographers style, you will probably like the products he or she is offering, but if you are planning to get a specific product, make sure that portrait photographer offers that product.
I am, for example, a big fan of ready to hang fine art wall portraits, and above is one of the few options that I love and offer to my customers. It takes a lot of time and money to find a perfect frame that will match with the image and with the decor of the room where you are planning to display it, especially if you have a custom size print, or a large print like a 20×30 or a 30×40. After a lot of effort you will finally find a perfect frame, but in a year or two if you decide to move, or redecorate, or rehang the image in a different room, the chances are that the frame will not be matching with the new decor or the new room. So you will either spend a lot of time and money again to find a new frame, or move the print to the attic or basement until you come around to finding a new frame, which in most cases turns out to be never. With ready to hang wall portraits, you don’t have to worry about any of that! You don’t have to worry about finding a perfect frame to much with the image and with your decor, you can move the portrait to different room/decor anytime, and you can easily built a collage wall. Collage walls are very popular these days, and ready to hang portraits are the perfect solution for it.
Another favorite product of mine is my digital custom-designed fine art album. When I first tell a client that they also have an option of purchase an album, they aren’t interested, they think it’s a classic book, like a scrap book, where I would assemble their printed images. when in fact it is all digitally designed from cover to cover.
Every album is unique and custom designed to best represent the character of the family or child, their lifestyle, and their images.
And my clients can customize it even more by choose from different types of fine art paper for the pages of the album. Each paper has a different texture and feel, and the paper is mounted on the thick pages of the album, from corner to corner, so there is no gap in the middle. I get to be creative and design something unique, and my clients get to have something no one else has.
When you work with a professional photographer ask about the products he or she offers, ask to see samples, try to find something unique, something that your neighbor doesn’t already have! After all you want customized products to go with your customized photo session! And remember, quality is the key! Don’t go after cheap prints, albums, frames and any other unprofessional “over the counter” photo products, spend your money wisely, better quality will last you longer and turn out cheaper, and you will save yourself a disappointment over seeing someone else with a professional product you decided not to buy. Photographs are your memories, don’t be afraid to invest in them.
