Really great post Danna. You nailed it. I love the idea of the letter on the back of the canvas, what a beautiful idea that will be a treasure to your kids some day. Thanks again for the breakfast last week I can’t wait to meet up again someday!

[...] I have buried myself in the office the last 2 days trying to get caught up on a few things. One of the things I’ve been working on is my new product and pricing guide (still not done, but it’s getting there). I can’t tell you how many times during any given week I receive the question “How much for the disk?” I’ve addressed this several times in the past and there is a great article that was just posted called “Choose Art” found at http://www.bowesphotography.ca/blog/2012/04/29/blog-carousel-prints-or-files/. [...]

Beautifully written. I have been known to tell clients asking about the digital images that I feel it’s like taking the car to the mechanic where he tells you what is wrong, sells you the parts and then you have to fix it yourself. Why hire a professional if you’re willing to finish the job? Sadly though I have lost so many jobs due to the lack of offering digital images that I’ve finally thrown in the towel and started offering digital collections, we’ll see what happens. I truly hope clients will still choose prints first and digital as a back-up but with the way this industry is going I don’t have my hopes to high.

I feel the exact same way Danna! I think the art of the portrait is the reason for spending money on portraits. It doesn’t make sense to invest in a great photographer and then DIY the printing to save money. Great article!

So well written Danna! You have to know how much I treasure the portraits that you did for us when Parker was a baby. I would be so sad if they were not printed (HUGE) and instead were still sitting on a disk in a drawer somewhere.

Danna, I agree with you 1000%. I also started my photographic journey in film long ago and I also don’t understand the point of JUST buying files from a professional photographer. While the world is becoming quite digitized, we still live in real homes (last time I checked anyway ha!) and having our family on the walls and shelves and albums is the BEST way to enjoy their growing faces through the years. I also view my canvas of my children every single time I enter the room its prominently hung in.

Excellent post, Danna, and I agree with you 100% percent! Photographs should definitely be printed, displayed, and shared!

“It would be kind of like paying an award winning chef for his gourmet recipes then having McDonald’s prepare them.” A-MEN. There is something so sweet and comforting about sitting together and looking through a tangible photo album. When we visit my parents’ home, the first thing we do is head to the book shelves and look through the photographs. Having prints on display is such a joy and I think it contributes to a sense of self-esteem in children and a bond as a family.
