Denise Jane Portrait Design is a print based studio, formally trained in photography and printmaking. Photography was created to be printed. Its an exposure of light, meant to be printed. Only when it's printed does it truly becomes a tangible reminder of that relationship, that feeling, that moment in time. It's truly captured forever. She takes pride in delivering her photography through print media insuring the longevity of the moments she captures. 

The most important times of you life deserve a professional presentation with truly archival craftsmanship. Choose professional, archival printing and finishing. Your children and grand children will appreciate it long after you've left this world.

HOW WILL YOU REMEMBER?

In thirty or forty years, how will you remember the most important moments of your life?

According to a nationwide survey conducted by Professional Photographers of America (PPA). 67% of survey respondents store their photos solely on a computer or phone!

This is alarming.  Why?

  • In 2014 4.5 million lost or stolen mobile phones and only 33% of people say they actively back up photos and data on their phones.
  • A Technological mishap can happen in the blink of an eye.  Accidental pushes of a button, computer crashes, coffee spills, water damage, power surges, lost memory cards, USB drives or CD/DVD's, Malware, or faulty cords just to name a few. 
  • Online Photo Storage Problems-Costly subscriptions, hardware, or Wi-Fi access.
  • Technology evolves rapidly making future access unpredictable-maybe even impossible.
  • Some storage services only save lower resolution files, limiting print quality and size. 
  • Tangible History disappears.  Future generations will have difficulty knowing us because there won't be a tangible photo history of our lives nor theirs.

Some alarming statistics to think about.  

  • 53% haven't printed a photo in more than 12 months. 
  • 24 % don't recall the last time they printed.
  • 70% of people don't have photo albums.
  • 42% no longer print photos at all.

Think about how you feel when you find an old photo album from your childhood or your grandparent's childhood.  Think about the joy it brings to relive those times through these photographs.  

Families are enriched by sharing photographs and stories.  One of the best ways to gain and preserve family tradition and pride is through printed photographs.  

What can you do to preserve your family's memories for generations to come?  

  • Seek Professional photographers for once in a lifetime moments like weddings, high school graduations, births, anniversaries, and other special occasions.  
  • Order High-Quality Prints that will stand the test of time.  
  • But albums and frames, when you see them on sale and fill them with photos.  
  • Devote special walls, tables, bookcases in your home to DISPLAY Photos.
