How One Dad Turned Birding into the Ultimate Father–Daughter Tradition
At PrintingCenterUSA, we love seeing people turn the things they love into something they can share with the world. For Thomas Green and his daughter, birding and nature photography have always been their favorite way to spend time together. What started as weekend adventures with cameras became a yearly calendar tradition that friends, family, and coworkers look forward to every December. Today, Thomas Green’s wildlife calendars have grown into a meaningful project that inspires others and brings joy to everyone who receives one.
About Thomas Green and His Daughter
Tom and his daughter are avid birders who spend their time outdoors capturing everything from coastal seabirds to forest songbirds to incredible wildlife moments in the field. A few years ago, they had the idea to take their photos and turn them into a calendar that reflected the beauty they saw on their travels.
They created their first calendar simply because they wanted a way to enjoy their own images throughout the year. When they shared it with friends and family, the response was immediate. People loved the photos, loved the story behind them, and wanted to be part of it.
“We asked friends, family, and coworkers if they were interested in having a copy,” Tom shared. “It has grown from there. We now print about 60 calendars a year with photos from our travels and birding adventures to share with others.”
What began as a personal keepsake quickly became something bigger!
The Challenge
As interest grew, Thomas Green wanted to make sure each calendar felt professional and durable, with high quality color that honored the detail in their wildlife photography. They needed a printing partner who could deliver consistent results year after year, produce true to life color accuracy, and create a finished product that matched the beauty of the birds they photographed.
Their calendar had become a tradition, and they wanted the print quality to match the care they put into every single photo.
The Printing Solution
Thomas Green partnered with PrintingCenterUSA to produce a vibrant, high quality wall calendar that highlights the richness of their nature photography. The glossy paper, sharp color reproduction, and sturdy construction help every image look crisp and bright.
