From Your Idea to Our Product 💡

At McKenna, being your partner means more than simply printing what you order. It means listening, collaborating, and turning your ideas into products that help you stand out.

Sometimes, our best product ideas come directly from the photographers we work with.

That’s exactly how Pivot Prints came to life. A photographer asked us a simple question:

“What if we could create a finished, framed print with an image on both sides?”

Our answer? Let’s make it happen.

And just like that, Pivot Prints were born.

The 16x24 Pivot Print makes a beautiful statement on the wall while taking up the footprint of a single piece of artwork. Two favorite images. One frame. And whenever the mood—or the season—changes, simply flip it.

This is what partnership looks like: you bring the ideas, and we’ll help bring them to life.

An Image Box can become a beautiful time capsule filled with the photographs and little keepsakes that tell the whole story.

🎓 Senior keepsakes like tassels, medals, and graduation announcements
💍 Wedding details like invitations, vows, pressed flowers, and place cards

These are the kinds of details that turn a box of photos into a treasured family heirloom.

We’ve rounded up 4 Fresh Ways to Use Image Boxes and ideas you can share with your clients to inspire them to print and preserve their memories.
