You’ve just finished your maternity photoshoot—the outfits were gorgeous, the lighting was dreamy, and the portraits turned out better than you imagined. But now what?


It’s a question I get all the time: “Should I just get the digitals, or do I really need prints?”Let’s break it down together so you can confidently choose what’s best for preserving this beautiful chapter of your motherhood journey.

The Allure of Digitals


Digital files offer flexibility and convenience.


You can:

  • Share them on social media

  • Save them to your phone or computer

  • Back them up in multiple locations

  • Create holiday cards or announcements at your leisure


Digitals are perfect for keeping your memories at your fingertips, especially when you're excited to show off that baby bump glow to friends and family. But there’s one downside: they’re easy to forget about. So many beautiful images end up collecting digital dust in a forgotten folder.

The Magic of Prints


There’s something incredibly special about holding your maternity portrait in your hands or seeing it framed on your wall.


Prints:

  • Become heirlooms for your family

  • Bring emotion and beauty into your everyday spaces

  • Create a sense of pride and accomplishment in this incredible season


A canvas of you in that elegant gown… a fine art album telling the story of your growing family… or a matted print you walk past every morning while sipping coffee—those tangible memories live with you, not behind a screen.

So… Prints or Digitals?


Here’s the truth: you don’t have to choose just one.


When you book your Reading, Pennsylvania maternity photoshoot with me, every heirloom-quality product you select—whether it’s an album, a framed piece, or a keepsake box—comes with the corresponding digital file. You’ll get the beauty of printed artwork plus the flexibility of digitals. It’s the best of both worlds.
