What is print credit?

Think of print credit like a gift card. It is included in every session as money that can be used to print the beautiful images from your family or newborn session.

Why is print credit included with home sessions?

You can shop the online print store regardless of what location you choose for your session, so keep that in mind.

Print credit is included with the home session because I believe that as your photographer, it is my job to take care of your family every step of the way from session planning to photo printing. I do not want your images to exclusively live on your computer or your phone. I not trust these devices, seeing as I have accidentally lost hundreds of images before. I also want you to enjoy the images you paid to get professionally done.

In addition, designing an album, finding the perfect frame, and deciding on print sizes is overwhelming. It takes a lot of time. Time that you probably do not have. I get it, I am a busy mom too. I offer print credit because I want the families I work with to walk away with actual photographs from our session and not one more thing on their to-do list.

How do I use my print credit?

Approximately 4 weeks after your session, your images will be delivered via a private online gallery. At this time, you will receive a discount code via email to use in the online store. This discount code is the print credit you already paid for and can be put toward any print products you would like to purchase. You check out online and your products will come to me. I ensure they are perfect and package them up for you. Then, I will let you know when the products come in! If you live far away, there is always the option to ship your print products.

What can I get with my print credit?

Home Sessions are great for storytelling and often there is a set of images that tell your story better than just one photo could on its own. You can purchase whatever products you like, but a set of prints or an album allows you to enjoy as many photos as possible. Listed below are the print products I offer.

Loose Prints: Various sizes are available for filling frames or albums of your own. I wanted to offer these as a way to use what your already have. Loose prints can be tricky because if you do not have a final destination for them, they may end up in a box and not be enjoyed as regularly. If you have a specific size you need, chances are that I can order it from my professional printing lab.

12x8 Heirloom Luxury Album: Complete with 10 spreads (20 pages) holding approximately 20 images and professionally designed with a faux leather cover. It is the best way to tell the story of your session and the special connection you have with your family right now. My family loves looking through our albums especially my children. It is not only a treasured item worth collecting but a great way to spend time together.

Maple Frame with image of your choice: Complete with a frame, mat, and a horizontal or vertical image of your family, this piece allows you to enjoy it as soon as it is in your hands. Small frames are so versatile. They can displayed on dressers, nightstands, console tables, and shelves. It is a piece of easy, no fuss decor that is actually meaningful. It is also interchangeable so the image can be swapped out later on down the road.
