5 Reasons Why You Should Get a Professional Photo Album

Heather Larsen Photography offers professionally designed, high quality photo albums graded to last a lifetime. Photo albums are extremely valuable! Here are 5 reasons why you should get a professional photo album.

1. PHOTO ALBUMS ARE TANGIBLE. THEY ARE EASY TO LOOK THROUGH. AND THEY TELL THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE.

Photo albums are REAL. They are tangible. They are easily accessible. And they allow you to view all of your favorite photos instantly. When you have your photos printed in an album, you don’t have to sort through hundreds of folders filed on an online cloud service. And you don’t have to search for hours for your photos that you stored on a mysterious digital hard drive that you now cannot find. There’s no digging around. Your photos are there waiting for you. Your photo album retells the story of your most special moments in your life. Images in your photo album help bring back the same emotion and joy you felt when the events happened! It’s magical.

2. FINDING THE TIME TO MAKE YOUR OWN PHOTO ALBUM CAN BE DIFFICULT.

After your photo session, life goes on and there is so much to think about and do. Many of us don’t have the time time to sit down and go through hundreds of images, select which ones go on which page, which ones should be enlarged, which ones should be small and on and on… let your photographer handle it. This is what they do, they were there for your special event and know which images will be important in an album, and they already have a process in place for efficiently designing and ordering gorgeous albums!

3. PHOTO ALBUMS ARE HEIRLOOMS TO BE PASSED DOWN TO FUTURE GENERATIONS LONG AFTER YOU ARE GONE.

Looking through my grandmother’s wedding album made me realize how important it is to have photo albums of your life.

It was amazing to flip through the pages and see what my grandparents, aunts, and uncles looked like many years ago. Somehow feeling, touching and holding each photo was much more meaningful than if I was sitting on a computer flipping through 500+ images of their wedding.

Professional photo albums are made from the best, professional grade, quality materials that won’t fall apart after a few years from regular wear and tear. Most of the papers used are graded to last 200+ years. These albums will stand the test of time.

4. IF YOU DON’T DO IT NOW, THE DIGITAL IMAGES WILL PROBABLY SIT AROUND ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR YEARS COLLECTING DUST.

So you’re finished with your photo session. Your photographer edits and delivers the most beautiful images. You get a couple of the photos printed and framed. And you probably post a few on social media. But what happens to all of the rest of the photos? What happens when a year goes by and you get new photos to replace the older ones hanging on your walls? Those older photos are still cherished, but they get shut away and stored on your computer, hard drive, or cloud service. And they sit around and collect digital dust.

Or maybe you did decide from the beginning that you wanted a photo album. And you said, “I’ll get around to it. I’ll do it later.” … 10 years later and a lot of life events later, you finally decide to get that wedding album created or that special baby book designed. And then you’re stressed. It’s overwhelming because you just feel so behind. It can be a lot of work to create a photo album. It’s amazingly convenient to let a professional handle all of the logistics of album design, and you can just enjoy the journey and season of life you are currently in!

5. MEMORIES WILL FADE, BUT YOUR PHOTO ALBUM IS A TIME MACHINE.

Regrettably, we know that our memories start to fade over time and do not last forever. The sweet little details start to get fuzzy. And the little moments that touched your heart start to be forgotten. Photos bring our memories back to life and remind us of all of those best moments that we treasure. You won’t regret having a photo album to look back on your sweet memories for years to come!
