Prints vs. Digitals

We get a LOT of questions about our options for buying digital files instead of prints! 

We totally understand the desire to own your digital files from your boudoir session, I personally wouldn't do a session with a photographer that didn't have the OPTION to purchase the digital files. 

Now, I use the word "option" because digital files might not always be in the budget of the client. Digital files are typically the MOST expensive item you can purchase and I am here to explain why. 

When you purchase the digital files, you are purchasing the ability to be able to print the images as many times as you want, which in theory would limit the earning potential of the photographer. So photographers need to sell the digital files with the understanding that the client may not come back to them to buy prints in the future. 

When you work with our studio, our digital files are included in some of our packages, but not all. This is because we want our services to still be affordable for people who might have a lower budget for their sessions! So if you just want an album and aren't concerned with digital files, this will cost substantially less than a package that includes both. 

Our studio offers a wide variety of prints and products to our clients. We love seeing our clients images on print, and with boudoir we find that most people want printed products as much as digitals. Wall Art and Albums are among our most popular products! 

While we do have clients who chose to share their images on social media, we have several clients who keep their images private. So digital files might not serve that kind of purpose for you in regards to social media sharing, however they are still valuable because they serve as your "insurance policy" should anything happen to your printed products and you need to have us reprint them for you (we do not keep client images on file).
