Nope, not at all! You are welcome to select your included Digital Portraits with no need to order more. [No order minimums around here!]
I will say though, we kinda are the EXPERTS at printing your portraits especially since we know exactly what they should look like when they are printed.
Below is a quick set of tips for ordering from a professional and a little preview of some of the products we offer for creating real-life and in-person lasting heirlooms from your portrait session.
4 Reasons To Order Prints From a Professional
Many times clients ask why purchasing prints through their professional photographer is a much better choice than a do-it-yourself option that may cost less. These days there are many, many low-cost options for non-professionals to have their digital portraits printed in a variety of manners; but before making a decision on how you're going to print your portraits we hope you will consider these thoughts!
The Perfect Crop
Many times we go to order prints without giving thought to the cropping of the image. Most of the time, standard print sizes are a different aspect ratio, or width-to-height ratio, then the actual photograph coming out of the camera that you see on your screen. This means that parts of the portraits' top, bottom, and sides will be clipped off in the final print product. There is great art to cropping a portrait for print, especially to retain the intended composition! When you order a portrait from us, you may rest assured it will be cropped with great care in preserving the artistic value.
Production Quality
There are many consumer-grade printers out there eager for your portrait, canvas, or press book order - it's true! However, at Erika Hopkins Photography we order from a printing lab that specializes in crafting products specifically for professional photographers; a tough crowd to please! The attention to color, craftsmanship, archival quality and guarantee behind the product is unparalleled. Although it may be more expensive to purchase initially, it will last for decades and present each portrait at its very best.
Color
Believe it or not, when editing your portraits we spend an incredible amount of time working to get the perfect color we had in mind for each portrait. It's a painstaking process, but worth every moment! Additionally, we've spent considerable resources developing a strong relationship with our print lab of choice to understand the in's and out's of their materials, the printing process, and how the colors we see on the computer screen translate to colors in their physical prints. Portraits ordered from our studio are tweaked and calibrated to preserve their color from screen to print - something you won't experience with consumer-grade printers!
An Artist's Promise
As artists, we take each step in the process of delivering you a beautiful printed portrait with great care. From snapping the shutter to cropping, coloring, recommending a specific material choice for a specific portrait, and double-checking your prints before handing them to you, every step is taken with the immense love and care of an artist. Erika Hopkins Photography stands behind our finished prints and will not allow a sub-par to be delivered in your hand. We promise you a stellar final product. Period.

Meet Erika.
From my very first job, one thing was for sure; I had two loves: photography & children! However my vision behind the camera and the philosophy of our customer service, has taken a dramatic turn, when we welcomed our babies into the world.
Love is an amazing thing, something you can’t really describe, and something so amazing it hurts. The vision I hope to capture for your family is one where love just pours off your portraits. I want to capture those precious little fleeting moments from those tiny little gummy grins to big hugs and laughs with mom and dad. Of course, we will still capture beautiful rich colors and soft airy light, but it’s more than that, it’s about having fun and letting me capture pure unguarded LOVE.
Give us a ring, send an e-mail, let’s get in contact. Getting to know your family means the world to me, and I look forward to having you a part of our family.
