Why my business is based on buying prints and not digital files

As a professional photographer, my goal is to provide you with the highest quality images that not only capture moments but also stand the test of time. Here's why I choose to sell only prints and not digital files:


  • Quality Control: Prints allow me to ensure that the final product meets my high standards for color accuracy, sharpness, and overall presentation. Digital files, once out of my hands, can be altered or printed on subpar materials, which can detract from the original quality and artistry of the photo.


  • Longevity and Preservation: Professional prints are produced using archival-quality materials that are designed to last for decades without fading or deteriorating. Digital files, on the other hand, can be lost, corrupted, or forgotten on a hard drive or cloud storage.


  • Artistic Integrity: Each print is a work of art that has been meticulously crafted and finished. By controlling the printing process, I can ensure that each photograph is presented exactly as I intended. This maintains the integrity and value of my work.


  • Exclusive Experience: Owning a physical print is a unique and tangible experience. It transforms a photograph into a piece of art that can be displayed and appreciated in your home or office, creating a personal connection and lasting impact that digital files simply cannot match.


  • Protection of Intellectual Property: Selling only prints helps protect my intellectual property and reduces the risk of unauthorized reproduction or misuse of my work. This allows me to continue creating and offering unique, high-quality photography to my clients.


By choosing to offer only prints, I am dedicated to providing you with a superior, lasting product that truly reflects the essence and quality of my photographic art.


Can I purchase all your original raw files?

Basically no, raw files are the original out-of-camera images that have not been edited. This would be similar to selling you the negatives from a film camera.

You won't sell any digital files?

Yes & no. I will sell a high-quality image file that will come as printable to an 11" x 14" with a limited print release once a purchase of at least 11" x 14" print (or an item of equal or greater cost) of that image has already been ordered and paid Cost of the digital file is reasonable.

After your session, you will have access to a few selected images or an Instagram reel to use on social media. This is included in your session fee. None of these images are printable and may not be edited in any way using phone apps.

Are social media sized files included in my session?

Yes, a few select images and/or an Instagram reel will be available after editing for use on social media. These images may not be printed or edited in any and our logo must remain intact.
