Our Story

Honey Prints was born in July 2024, shortly after welcoming my first baby. Like most new parents, my phone quickly filled with thousands of memories that felt too precious to leave sitting in a digital gallery. I found myself searching for a way to give those moments a home—something tangible, beautiful, and lasting.

Leveraging my background in design and photography, I began curating our first family magazine. What started as a personal project to preserve our own "little honey" quickly revealed a bigger mission. When I saw the finished product, I realized it wasn't just something I needed, but a standard of storytelling that was missing from the industry.

WHERE THE JOURNEY BEGUN

THE EVOLUTION

As I began working alongside other photographers, I noticed a consistent struggle. We all want our clients to walk away with physical art, but as busy business owners, we rarely have the hours required to curate and design it.

This realization marked a new chapter for us. Honey has transitioned from a public shop to an exclusive, "done-for-you" design studio for professionals. We have shifted our focus to become a silent production partner for storytellers—handling the heavy lifting so you can stay behind the lens.

Our mission is to act as a seamless extension of your studio. We have found the balance between standard consumer prints and unattainable boutique albums, offering a premium, archival publication at an honest studio rate.

We prioritize craftsmanship and editorial design, ensuring every magazine is a durable, coffee-table essential built to last. We are here to ensure your work is preserved with the same heart and intentionality you put into capturing it

OUR PROMISE

What began as a personal search for the perfect keepsake has grown into a dedicated resource for the creative community. We are more than just a service; we are a collaborative partner for photographers who value both their time and their artistry.

Our team of local designers work alongside you to ensure every publication meets a professional benchmark of quality. We aim to be transparent in our process, designing with your specific vision at the forefront. By prioritizing craftsmanship and professional design, we give your studio a way to provide every family's story with the safe, beautiful home it deserves.
