Standout

products_hero_standout_03

A Contemporary Mounting Option

The sleek Standout is made from lightweight foam with the edge of your choice. Choose from popular sizes between 8×10” and 30×40” and two different depths. Holes are added to the backside making it ready to hang as soon as it arrives.  I really love this product because it’s so easy and affordable, yet still a very elegant way to showcase your favorite images without having the hassle and expense of frames, matting, wiring and putting heavy objects on your wall where you might not always have a stud.

Two Depth Options

Mount your print to either a ¾” or 1 ½” depth Standout with your choice of edging.  This is simply the thickness of the foam-board on which the print is mounted.  Unless you prefer a larger block, our default thickness is the standard 3/4″ size.

Edge Options

There are lots of different types of edging that can be applied to your standout in order to give it a more finished look – it can also become a part of your home’s pre-existing decor or style by accessorizing your edges to match!

Why Prints Are Better Than Digital Files

Or how I learned to stop worrying and have tangible memories of my cherished moments in life . . . . .

“I’ll print them myself one day.”

This is a common excuse for not ordering prints after a photo session. In fact, there are many excuses people use for only purchasing a disc of files. Unfortunately, these people are missing out on many fantastic benefits that come with having a print. Here are a few points to consider when ordering memories from your photographer:

Technology changes, prints don’t.

Records and 8-tracks have seen better days, so why should we think DVDs will be different? Whether we like it or not, things change and files get corrupted. One day, you may find yourself struggling to view your beloved wedding photos. Prints stay consistent and make the perfect heirloom piece in your family. And besides, you spent all that money to have photos taken, so why not keep a visible reminder above the fireplace?

“I’ll print them one day.”

Let’s be honest. You’re not actually going to get your photos printed. It will get put on your To-Do List and slowly fall to the bottom until it has been six months since your photo session. At that point, you’ve probably also permanently misplaced the disc of images. Life gets busy, so let us worry about getting your memories printed.

“Look at this beautiful… disc?”

Passing around a shiny piece of plastic at the next family gathering is not the way to grab Aunt Betty’s attention. With a print, everyone can instantly see just how cute your kids can be when they aren’t running through the house.  No computer required, just immediate satisfaction.

AUTO is for amateurs.

I love printing, and I want to make your photos as beautiful as possible! Taking your files to be printed at Walgreens will leave them in the hands of someone who has no personal concern for your images. At Don Wright Designs, we have control over every aspect of each photo. We pay attention to details and make sure that your charming face matches your quality print. For those of you looking for a little more pizzazz, we also have a nice selection of materials and paper types to choose from for your images.

The Investment of Custom Professional Photography

The explosion of digital photography, online sharing, home printing, and social media over the last decade makes it easier than ever to capture those everyday (and special) moments. We are thrilled that the art of photography has become more accessible to the hobbyist. Often times our clients have top of the line gear, similar to ours, and are well versed in how to use it.  But even with all of the tools and resources so widely available, and the ability to capture the every day, nothing beats the work of an accomplished professional photographer to document your family, in its entirety.  Yes, we know you’ll be in some of the images at your cousin’s wedding… and  of course there are all your own family milestones… but the return on the investment of capturing who you are, today, is enormous.  There is so much to gain from a custom, professional photography session, one that is created specifically for you, solely for that purpose.
