Print your memories | Cornwall, Montreal & Ottawa Photographer

Computers die, hard drives fail but paper doesn’t!!!  I have learned this lesson myself, both personally & professionally (gasp!!)!!  Yes, I have had an incident where a family session was lost on my computer…now all client images are on three different hard drives!

Most of us can associate with my own past experience, whether is was the images on your phone or your computer..there is heartbreak, tears & generally some vows made along these lines “I will transfer them to the cloud & then I will never lose them again!!”

The real solution for me now, is to print my favourite images!  I am then never too worried about accidentally deleting them or freak out every time there is a power surge!  I have a tangible version of my memories, just in case!

When your memories are printed & displayed, you will enjoy them everyday!!  Raise your hand if you looked through all your past images on your phone or on your computer in the last month??  *crickets*

Yeah, I am in the same boat!!  

We have albums full of prints upstairs & if the house is too quiet, you can generally find the kids huddled around one of the albums, giggling!  It is one of their favourite past times…flipping through the albums & retelling their version of the story behind the images.

There are also many printed images displayed on the walls of our home & we pass by them everyday!  Often, my husband & I will be having our morning tea in the kitchen, we can see many of our wall prints from there.  We still smile at these images, comment on how the kids have grown since that image & laugh at how my husband was almost not in that photo (he was late, as usual)!

My favourite wall art median is wood prints!!  These prints are mounted to a layered wood backing giving the images a beautiful rustic charm…which I am all about!  The image is printed on archival paper & protected by a film lamination coating which helps to prevent scratches, is easily wipeable, the image won’t wrap & gives a tiny bit of texture to your image!

What I adore most about these prints is, each comes with a cardboard cutout for to make hanging them a dream!!  No more making 10 holes in the wall to hang your images just right…arrange your images, make the hole & hang with ease!!!

The newest wall art collection…the Joy Collection, incorporates these wood prints plus a family sign!!  YAY!!!  We have one of these wall art collections hanging in our home & the compliments I receive are numerous!!  The family sign will be designed & hand made by a local artisan in Alexandria, Ontario..she does such a wonderful job!!

This collection is very versatile, as each wood print is 8x10” & I designed it specifically to be easily updated with new images!  When it comes time to update your prints, your older prints can easily be moved to a smaller display of two groups of three or keep them together in one group of six…depending on your wall space.

There are three other collections available, all featuring wood prints! Another favourite of mine is the round print…they are really neat!!

These prints are also printed the same way, mounted to a layered wood backing, printed on archival paper & protected by a film lamination coating. But they add a little extra spice to the collection layout, they are truly different & not something you see everyday!

As mentioned before, we are huge photo album fans!!  The ability to have numerous of your favourite images all in one spot is perfect!!  You don’t have to chose just a few images to print for the wall of your home, you can have them all together!  

These albums are hand made at my favourite lab in Toronto, with full double panoramic speeds!  Meaning, you can display one image across two pages.  Images are printed on the highest quality of Fuji professional paper, with foam core pages making these pages durable & wrinkle free!

Framed images are also available & can be used as a table top display, wall hung or displayed on shelving also!  These framed images are protected with a archival coating, similar to the wood prints coating.  Images are uniquely recessed 3/4 inch within the frame & have a 2” deep frame moulding giving this item a modern look & enables this product to be displayed on table tops or shelving.  The backing of this print, is sealed & finished with cardstock with either wire hanger or metal tab for wall displays.

New this year, will be wood frames!!  I am super excited for this product to be available, as there are some frames around our home that need updating!!  Once the product has been officially released, they will be added to the heirloom product listing!!

There are literally thousands of ways to display your images!!  Don’t believe me, check out Pinterest to see the many creative ways people display their memories!!  You won’t regret taking the time & a little energy to decide the best way for your family to enjoy your memories!! 

That is awesome!! Let’s get in touch with each other & get the ball rolling!!
