How many images do you have stored on your computer’s hard drive/external drive? I have over 5,000 from this year alone (and it’s only August!!). Of your images, how many are tangible? Meaning you can touch them in some way shape or form. I’m going to guess you don’t have many. I myself struggle with this, too. But doesn’t it defeat the purpose of taking photos and capturing these memories if no one can see them?
One of the ways I hope to differentiate LNP is by the products I will offer. I plan on including something tangible with every session. There will be options for those that prefer to display something on a wall as well as something for those that prefer something more handle-able. Having photos that you and your loved ones can physically look back on years from now is very important to me, and I want anyone that books a session with me to have that. One of the things I’ve found that I just love are these photo boxes:

Aren’t these just beautiful? I plan on ordering some for myself and I can’t wait to get my hands on them. They can be personalized any way you want! You can have your individual images matted (so they’re sturdier) and then display them on an easel as an alternative to having something framed. What a simple way to show off your stuff! You can also just grab the box with all the images inside on your way out the door and take it to Grandma’s house to show her. Or just leave the box on your coffee table. It’s beautiful on it’s own, and anyone that sees it will gravitate towards it to check it out. It’s like having your own personalized coffee table book!!! Featuring YOU!
I’m keeping an eye out for other beautiful things, too. So stay tuned to see what I find!
