Professional Lab vs Consumer Prints | Is there really a difference?

While many people decide based on price, the reality is this: Professional print labs can't be beat!

This is why we offer complimentary digital files with our Home Decor Products.


When it comes time for printing your images, most people tend to look for the quickest and cheapest way to accomplish this. A quick google search will give tons of options and then just click whichever prints are on sale. However, when we consider the reasons for printing home decor, the answer rarely comes back "because it was cheap and easy"...


We print home decor to keep and pass down to help tell our story for years, even generations, to come.


While one would automatically expect prints from a professional portrait lab to be more expensive, the cost is not as prohibitive as one might think. Sure, you can purchase the digital files and print them yourself, but you are still investing a lot of money on those digital files, and then you have the task and time involved with designing, uploading, sizing, etc.

Invest in our Home Decor products and not only will you receive Professional Archival Products, we will also take care of all designing and ordering needs for you. PLUS you get complimentary digital files to share on social media or keep on your phone.


How much is your time worth?

In reality, after the purchase of the digital files plus the time and costs involved to order yourself, it truly is more beneficial to invest in professionally printed home decor. Why did you hire a professional photographer vs setting up your phone on a rock and taking your family photos? The answer is simple... Quality as well as Customer Service!


Customer Service: We are going to be there for you. We will help design Wall Collections, albums, and folios

that will look amazing in your home, from choosing the best wall portrait size to choosing the best product options such as framing or canvas.


We offer consistent print quality. As a Master Photographer,, I have been trained to have a discerning eye and notice details that typical consumer labs might overlook. For this reason, I consistently choose print labs that offer superior reproduction of the digital file in regards to color control, brightness, contrast, etc.


Quality: The home decor item (print, canvas, album) itself is going to look light years better when ordered through a professional print lab. We have color calibrated monitors, we work with RGB and Adobe RGB with each lab to ensure color accuracy. Depending on the print size, some image cropping may occur, we take care of sizing and resolution so you have the best quality of images produced. Our home decor products are made from long lasting, archival material so that they can be cherished for years to come.

In summary - ask yourself this one question... are you the DIY type person when it comes to printing photos or will these amazing images end up on a computer or phone? Not only is your time worth the investment, your family is! Order Home Decor that can withstand the test of time and can be cherished for years to come. We would love to start decorating your home with YOUR images! Please contact us and let us know what we can create for you!
