Creating Heirloom Memories: The Art of Acrylic Prints with Archival Inks and Papers

Updated: Nov 26


In the world of photography, nothing quite matches the beauty and emotion captured in maternity, newborn, and family photos. These are the milestones in life that deserve to be celebrated and remembered—moments that capture the unique beauty of pregnancy, the wonder of a new life, and the love of a family beginning its journey. At Sparkles Newborn Photography, we believe these images should be cherished in a tangible, lasting form, ensuring they’re never out of sight, out of mind. This is why we create stunning acrylic prints with archival inks and papers, allowing these precious memories to become timeless heirlooms.


Why Tangible Keepsakes Matter

In an age where digital photos dominate, it’s easy to snap hundreds of pictures and store them on devices, often losing sight of them over time. However, tangible keepsakes like acrylic photo prints provide a level of satisfaction and connection that digital images simply can’t. Seeing a beautiful photograph of your baby on the wall or paging through an album of professional newborn photos brings a sense of warmth and joy, allowing these moments to stay vivid and real in our everyday lives.


Physical prints, especially high-quality ones, become heirlooms that capture family history and are passed down through generations. Holding a photograph from a maternity photoshoot photography session or seeing a newborn family portrait brings those memories to life, deepening the emotional connection to those fleeting moments. At Sparkles Newborn Photography, we take pride in using the finest materials, including archival inks and papers, to ensure your prints remain as beautiful and meaningful decades from now as they are today.






The Process of Creating Acrylic Prints

Acrylic prints are more than just photographs—they’re works of art. Made with archival-quality materials, they preserve the essence and emotion of your photos, enhancing color and depth. Here’s an inside look at how our acrylic prints are crafted to become lasting treasures.


1. Selecting the Perfect Image

The journey of an acrylic print begins with choosing the perfect photograph. Whether it’s a close-up of your newborn, a beautiful maternity portrait, or a family photography session with your newborn, the first step is to select an image that holds a special place in your heart. This image will be transformed into a baby photography masterpiece that truly stands out.


2. Printing with Archival Inks and Papers

To create a lasting, high-quality image, we use archival inks and papers. These materials are specifically designed for longevity, ensuring your photographs won’t fade or discolor over time. Archival inks are fade-resistant and produce vibrant colors that are richer and more true-to-life than standard inks. They’re also made to withstand exposure to light and environmental factors, protecting your print for decades.


When the image is printed on archival-quality paper, it gains an added level of texture and depth. Archival papers are acid-free, which means they won’t yellow or deteriorate over time. This combination of archival inks and papers creates a base image that is both stunning and resilient, capturing every delicate detail of your maternity, newborn, or family photography.


3. Mounting the Print Behind Acrylic Glass

After printing, the next step is to mount the image behind an acrylic panel. This is where the unique beauty of acrylic glass prints truly comes to life. The acrylic glass offers a crystal-clear layer of protection that adds depth to the image, making colors appear more vivid and enhancing the contrast. The result is a striking three-dimensional effect that makes the photograph look as if it’s floating within the glass.


Unlike standard glass, acrylic is lightweight and shatter-resistant, offering durability while still maintaining clarity. It’s also UV-resistant, so your photos are further protected from potential fading caused by sunlight. This layer of acrylic transforms the print into a polished, professional piece of art that brings a contemporary edge to your newborn or family photos.


4. Securing the Print for Long-Lasting Quality

To ensure that each acrylic print maintains its beautiful form over time, the mounting process must be done carefully. We use high-quality adhesives designed specifically for acrylic photo prints to avoid any discoloration or warping. The final product is sturdy, protected, and ready to become a central piece of decor in your home.

Acrylic prints are also easy to clean and care for, making them perfect for busy family environments. With a quick wipe down, they remain as beautiful as the day they were made, preserving your precious memories in a form that’s both durable and eye-catching.

Once complete, the result is a radiant, vibrant print that brings a sense of luxury and sophistication to any room. Whether you’re displaying pregnancy photos from a maternity session, a collection of newborn family portraits, or professional newborn photos of your baby, acrylic prints provide a unique way to make those moments shine.


Our family photography with newborn sessions are filled with love and joy, and the acrylic print captures these emotions beautifully, creating a display-worthy keepsake. It’s a statement piece that not only adds elegance to your space but also celebrates the people you cherish most.
