Picture this. You’re sitting at work, checking your email, and you see it — your gallery is ready. You open it immediately, scroll through the photos, feel all the feelings, and send me a message telling me how much you love them. You tell yourself you’ll show your family later when everyone’s home and settled.
Fast forward to that night. You’re running errands, making dinner, getting kids ready for school the next day, and by the time you finally crawl into bed, you realize you completely forgot to show anyone the photos.



Then the same thing happens again. The weekend comes, you have plans, life is busy, and you forget. The photos sit on your phone for months. Eventually you decide you want to print them, but you can’t find the gallery link anymore, so you message me to resend it. Once you get the link, you order prints through a local place like Walgreens or Walmart. You forget your password. You forget to pick them up. When you finally do, the colors are off, they’re glossy as heck, and they don’t look anything like what you expected.
This is real life. This is exactly what happens when professional photos are allowed to live in a digital void and printed without the care they deserve.
And honestly? That was me. I allowed my clients’ photos to live there. I’ve even allowed my own to live on my phone as well.
This past year, especially around Christmas, I received multiple emails from clients asking me to resend their gallery links so they could rush-print photos at Walgreens. And that’s when it really clicked for me. These photos mean too much to be treated like an afterthought.
So for 2026, I made a change.
All of my family and senior photography packages now include prints and albums. Your photos won’t just live on your phone or get buried in an email inbox. They’ll be printed, preserved, and ready to enjoy without you having to remember another password, place another order, or make another trip to the store. Your photos will be ordered with me and sent right to your front door!

I’m a family and senior photographer in West Bend, Wisconsin, and my goal is to make sure your photos are actually seen, shared, and enjoyed — not lost in the digital void. If you want to learn more about what photography sessions look like here in West Bend, Wisconsin, read more here.

Your photos deserve better. And now, they finally get it. Woohoo.
