Why I Offer Art Products- Not Just Digital Files

Why I Offer Art Products — Not Just Digital Files

We live in a digital world. Photos are shared instantly, backed up online, and enjoyed on screens every day. As a Connecticut newborn and family photographer, I absolutely understand the importance of digital images — and digital files are always part of my full-service photography experience.

That said, I don’t believe digital files should be the end goal.

As a luxury, full-service photographer serving New Haven County, Fairfield County, and Litchfield County, my focus is on helping families preserve their memories in meaningful, lasting ways.

Here’s why I intentionally offer professionally crafted art products alongside your digital images.

Digital Files Matter — But They Aren’t the Finish Line

Digital images are important. They allow you to:

Share your newborn, maternity, or family photos easily with friends and family
Safely save and back up your images
Enjoy your portraits on your phone and other devices

I fully embrace that — and when you work with Portraits by Chaya, digital files are included with purchased images.

However, digital files are temporary by nature. Technology evolves. Phones are replaced. Files can be lost or forgotten. What remains constant are the memories you can see, touch, and live with every day.

A Balanced Approach to Preserving Your Memories

I believe in the importance of both:

Digital files for modern sharing and safekeeping
Printed artwork for long-term preservation and daily enjoyment

Digital images support your lifestyle today. Printed products protect your legacy for tomorrow.

As a boutique luxury photographer serving New Haven County, Fairfield County, and Litchfield County, my goal is to provide more than images — I provide an experience and heirloom artwork that allows your family’s story to live on beautifully.
