There are some ways around this problem. In the first place there are software programmes that can enlarge pictures and add in more pixels. These usually rely on fractal based programmes that interpret surrounding pixels and create similar ones that will increase the picture size without losing to much detail. This can be effective for crisp sharp images which have plenty of detail in them to start with Another approach is to create a vector based image from your photograph since vector based images are said to be resolution independent and thus capable of being enlarged further. This can be particularly effective with images that are being stylised to simulate real media or a particular graphic style. .Ask your digital printer to help you get the most out of your photo and if they know what they are doing they should be able to help.
