Yes, my way of doing business must include printed products for so many reasons. 

You can’t negate the fact that times have changed and that everyone wants digital files. I recognize that and accept it. That’s why with every piece of printed artwork you purchase, you get the digital file used to create it. And feel free to show off your beloved everywhere, put it on your phone, send it to Grammy or Meemaw, post on social media.

So here’s why I don’t deliver digital files exclusively.

• I believe digitals aren’t safe to retain over the years. 
• I know a whole lot about printing and I use the trusted services of a local Los Angeles printer and a local framer who know a whole lot more about their craft than I do. I know the artisans and we work together for you. You don’t even need to think about it, I do it for you.
• And if you want premium products, I have an account at a luxury Italian vendor that does *chef’s kiss* wall art and albums that no one else is doing. I know who does the good work because I’ve been doing this for a long time.
• Afraid to put a nail in your wall or hang it just not quite right? Delivery and installation. Boom. Covered. I have software that can give you choices of sizes that work perfectly for your space.
• I don’t want you to have an expensive shoot and never see the images because they’re on your computer. 
• Inexpensive — let’s just call it cheap — printing is not good enough for me and I won’t let it be good enough for you.
• Your last photographer gave you all the digital images from your shoot. I'm sorry they didn't help you out and guide you but that's not me. We're in it together.
• Finally, each of these portraits is handcrafted. They don’t come out of the camera this way, I spend a lot of time crafting each one to my satisfaction. That’s what gives them the painterly style or the 3D look. AI doesn’t do it; I do it.
• I believe there is a magic to a printed piece you really can’t get with a digital file.

Old school? Yeah. But you will be really happy to see your beloved every day of your life on a high quality piece of art and you’ll be able to recall what we were doing, what was happening, how good your dog or cat was in the session, and how deep your love is. That’s powerful. And that, above all, is what you get. The feelings. All of them.
