Printed pictures are essential in this digital world

Value of printed pictures

Snap, snap, snap. Go anywhere and you'll see people taking pictures. It's a beautiful world and certainly worthy of capturing; however, often those images are soon deleted, forgotten or lost as a digital file on some mobile device that ends up at the back of a drawer.

According to the most recent statistics available from the Pew Research Center, 77 percent of adults in the United States own a smartphone, with 95 percent owning a cell phone of some kind. Those devices often include cameras, so anyone can quickly snap a picture at any time.

Take one look at your phone and you may find thousands of images that you have forgotten even exist. And here's the big problem: Virtually none of them will be printed and displayed. Today's youth may be the most photographed generation in history, but a decade from now there will be virtually no evidence of this.

Want to pull out a photo album to reminisce? Not going to happen. Think that someday you'll go into your online files to review the images? Unlikely. In fact, most digital photos taken on a phone never make it off the memory card. As new versions of devices come out, the old ones end up stored in forgotten locations, and those images are forgotten with them.

That's why school portraits have such purpose in this modern, technological-driven world. A photograph of your smiling son or daughter is a wonderful way to capture a moment in time so that you have a keepsake to display today and to look back on with fond memories down the road.

Lifetouch Preschool Portraits is proud to fill this growing need of so many families. The best in photographic technology is paired with specially trained photographers skilled in working with young children to ensure you get the best prints possible.

These prints are amazing keepsakes for loved ones near and far. Plus, it's fun to look back over the years and compare how each child grows from grade to grade. When it's time for your child's graduation party, you'll be able to display each print with pride.

Unfortunately parents without printed portraits will have to dig through storage to look for memory cards or discs in order to find these gems. They may have to go through thousands of photo files in hopes of getting lucky enough to find what they want. And that's assuming that tomorrow's technology will support the file formats that photos are saved in today.

Lifetouch Preschool Portraits eliminates this potential headache. The portraits provided are often the only prints families get all year, so we know this is an incredibly important responsibility. We get so much positive feedback from parents who truly cherish the photos they order each year. This joy wouldn't be possible without the opportunity to get pictures taken at their child's school.
