Pea Tree Photography

Many of you have been asking about digital collections. This is a bit of a sore spot for many photographers, and for good reason. For one thing, where are you having your lovely images printed? You know, those beautiful, beautiful, images that we spent hours working on in Photoshop to get looking just right? If you have them printed at just any ol’ “Big-Mart”, you may end up with terribly off-colour prints. Our monitors are finely calibrated and our professional print services work with equipment that is also finely calibrated. Not only that, but our professional print services use archival quality inks on the highest quality papers available. It does cost more, but over the course of a lifetime, it is certainly worth it for a gorgeous print that is going to stand the test of time. That is what we want up on your walls. We want you to love your prints and to have wonderful memories of that time in your life…and of your session with us.  Having a horrid off-colour print that begins to fade after just a few short years isn’t going to do that for you. Not only that, and let’s be completely honest here, that horrid off-colour print isn’t exactly serving us well as far as “advertising” goes. I can just see it now…”Oh, what a nice (green) photo of your baby you have there. Who is your photographer (so I can make note to never use them)?”

You get the picture.

It is no wonder professional digital photographers often guard their digital files as closely as film photographers guard their negatives. No one ever asks for the negatives. But, it is a different time now…

And, as a mom I completely understand the value of digital images. I had professional photos taken of my “big girl” (she is almost 8 now) when she was just 6 months old. We bought several enlargements and one poster sized print. I have always loved them so much and to have captured that special time in her life (that was as fleeting as everyone said it would be) means the world to me. A few years ago, I began to worry about what I would do if anything happened to those prints, and I also started wishing I could have all the photos we took of her that day (we couldn’t afford to buy prints of everything at that time). So, I decided to call my photographer and see what I could do about getting some more prints. Much to my horror, I found out that she had gone out of business. Honestly, my heart just sank. Knowing there is no way to ever replace the photos that I have, should anything ever happen to them, as well as the realization that all the rest of the photos we took that day are already gone forever broke my heart a little bit.

That is why I have put these digital collections together for you. I want you to have all your images. Forever. I don’t want you to worry about picking and choosing. I don’t want you to have to worry about what you would do if anything should ever happen to your precious prints. I want you to have them all. They are your memories. And I know how important they are.

All digital collections include a custom designed disc which comes packaged in a lovely protective case. And, to make sure you always know how your prints should look no matter where you have them printed – each collection also includes a 5×7 proof-book of all your gallery images. This book is also great for just looking at again, and again, so you don’t always have to head to the computer to see your gorgeous images.

Not that you would do that, right?

You will get them printed and have them up where you can see and enjoy them, right?

Don’t let them languish in their case (as pretty as it is).I’ve made the collections, now you do your part and enjoy your prints. Okay?
