When you purchase a session with Kara Powell Photography, you not only get an amazing family session with digital images, but you also get heirloom products of your choice. It is the best of both worlds.
We encourage clients to invest in and enjoy printed, tangible products that will stand the test of time.
At Kara Powell Photography, we believe family portraits deserve more than a USB drive.
Why Does Kara Powell Photography Focus on Printed Products First?
- Longevity and Tangibility: Digital images are prone to being lost, corrupted, or forgotten on hard drives. Heirloom products, such as luxury albums, fine art prints, and wall art, they can be tangible items that can be displayed, touched, and passed down through generations. They are a physical representation of memories that are less likely to disappear.
- Ready for Display: When clients receive digital files, they often sit on a computer or phone and are rarely printed. Heirloom products are designed to be immediately enjoyed and displayed in the home, creating a constant reminder of special moments.
- Professional Quality: Kara Powell Photography creates fine art images. Our clients receive only the finest quality in our experience and our products.
- Enhanced Experience: The focus on heirloom products provides a more complete and satisfying experience for clients. Instead of just receiving a link to download files, they receive beautiful, finished pieces of art that celebrate their family.
- Artistic Vision: For many photographers, their artistic vision extends beyond just capturing an image to presenting it in a beautiful, finished form. Heirloom products allow them to see their work through to its ultimate presentation.
Kara Powell Photography has seen too many clients in the past let digital images collect dust.
That’s why we flipped the model: prioritize what gets seen on your walls and tables, not what gets buried on your hard drive.
Why Are Printed Family Photos Better Than Digital-Only Files?
Digitals are convenient, but printed family photos create lasting memories:
- Kids build self-esteem when they see their portraits on the wall.
- Albums become conversation starters and family keepsakes.
- Clients often say their funny family photos in print bring more joy than scrolling through screens.
- Having printed photos is a protection against hard-drive corruption, deletion or hacking
- Printed albums and wall art become family heirlooms, passed down through generations.
- Printed heirlooms hold deeper emotional impact. They allow for powerful storytelling and can even be passed down to generations.
- For many of my clients their products are an investment in art. The final product is displayed in their home in a place of prominence. When you invest in professional photography, you’re investing in a curated artistic experience that results in lasting, museum-quality products.
