the print guide
So you've just received your online gallery.. what next?!
It can sometimes be super overwhelming thinking about what to do with your photos - after all you’ve got a pretty large gallery full of them.
Keep reading below to have a look at all the different options I can help with.
The gallery attached print shop
Once your gallery is delivered you will have a 'print shop' linked to your gallery, just click the little cart icon or print store button to head over and view all the different options available.
There are heaps of options such as prints, framed prints and canvases to name a few.
Please do not hesitate to ask if you’ve got any questions to do with this. It’s a great little program and will even show you an example of what your product will look like with your chosen image/s.
These products are sent directly from the print lab to you. They are an incredible lab and I completely trust the quality of their amazing products arriving at your door - but if you ever have a concern with a print product not meeting your expectations, please do let me know.

WALL ART
from $100.00
cANVASes

ALBUMS
The other big option (and my personal favourite) is albums!!
Albums are fantastic. As they are not only beautiful, but they can be made in a way to tell the full story of your day - right from getting ready right until the sparkler exit at the end of the night.
They can also tell the story of your family. Maybe you are thinking of putting an album together from your 'First Year' Package or even an extended family session.
You can keep them on your coffee table or in a bookshelf, and when you flip through the pages you’re transported back to all those special memories.
THE PROCESS:
After your gallery is delivered, and if an album is included in your package or you think you’d like to add one on, - I’ll get you to make a ‘favourites list’. To do this click little love heart icon and title it 'ALBUM'. Add approximately 100 favourite photos that cover a peek into your whole gallery. I will then take those photos and design your album and then we work together to finalise it and make sure it’s exactly what you want.
You will get to see a final draft/digital flip through before it’s ordered. Albums take a few weeks in production once ordered and then once they arrive to me I will then deliver the album it to you.

Other Print iTEMS
There are so many cool ways out there to display images in your home- I’ve personally become a big fan of wooden blocks. There are also wall decals, acrylic blocks and even things like puzzles or playing cards.
I don’t currently offer these through my print shop, but I can certainly point you in the right direction.
one last note on printing images
In regards to printing elsewhere; there are some other really great places and easy to print at places out there such as Camera House (in store or online) or print/camera specific shops which you may have in your town.
My biggest tip is to try and avoid anywhere that also sells non-camera related items (eg. Kmart/Big W/Office Works) or some of the super affordable websites.
I know I know... the prices are super tempting and sometimes you luck out, but often you’ll be left with photos that have really different colourings (almost like a filter has been applied) or the quality is just not there. This can be incredibly disappointing to see/receive if you are not expecting it.
These places can be great however, if you’re wanting photos perhaps for children to handle and look at.
Once again if you have any questions at all with this guide please reach out - I am more than happy to help and it's truely one of my greatest pleasures to see your photos printed displayed in your homes.
