Hi from Sugar Land!
I've loved taking photos since I was 15 and now that the kids are in high school and headed for college, I want to do it professionally. I would love some feedback on how to set up and with which reputable company to print photo packages as customers order. Yea! Thanks!

Hi Jackie! There are several companies to choose from for prints. I personally use Millers, but you do have to have a tax id to join up. Mpix is Millers consumer division. I used Mpix when I was just starting, but now that I have a bit more volume, I use Millers. There are several others like WHCC and Bay Photo Lab.

Jackie, Hi from Sugar Land too. my boys probably go to the same High School as yours.

We have monthly GTG in Sugar Land at Rajin Cagin (sp) on the second wednesday of every month, so come out on the 8th of April and join us in the back. Heather above which I've met personally is awesome and funny (shhh dont' tell her) has named some great places (which I've used and still use alot) but in Sugar Land we have a secret place we print from. I'm going to use that as an incentive to come meet our group on next Wed.

You are at the right place to start off.

See you hopefully Wednesday.

Robin (Heather's friend) lol
