No, I'm not getting ready to do a cheer, lol, I'm talking about PICTURES!!
An 8×10 is a desk print…it may sound big, but it’s NOT. See all those papers laying on the computer desk? Yep, those are bigger than your 8x10 that's hanging on your wall! Suuure, the 8x10 is safe. You're scared of going too big but my question is. . .can you really go TOO big?
When it comes to prints, I am all about wall prints and wall print means going big. Custom photography is an investment and I really want my clients to enjoy the benefits of that investment on a daily basis and for years to come. It seems like we buy a bazilion 4x6 and 5x7 prints, but let's be honest, you buy tons of those and then what doesn't go in a frame on the table or in the scrap book, you're sitting there going, hmmm, who do i give this one too because you bought too many! When you come to me for a session you leave with more than great captures of your baby, your child, your family…you leave with art for your walls. Re-think the 5x7's and 8x10's and consider going BIG! It’s the way your photos were meant to be seen – bold color or rich black and white – it should be big! Standouts (my faves), OR Gallery wraps…I love them both. With each session there are going to be shots that are "BIG" worthy! Let me help you find the BIG portrait that was meant for your home! I just moved into our new home and over the next year, it is my goal to go BIG! But that means LOTS of picture taking! In the meantime, a very talented photographer, Amy Ro, has a blog post with fantastic photos where you can see exactly what I’m talking about. Take a look and tell me you don’t agree that bigger really is better!
PS: My first attempt at going big. It's a 16x20 Standout but it's a START! it's in my bedroom beside my bed and i think it's beautiful!
