Printing Photos - 10-14-2009, 04:23 PM


I have been shooting for 3 years or so, but am just now starting a part time business shooting portraits for people. I want to be able to offer them actual prints, not just a disc of pictures, but I'm not sure what my options are as far as that goes.

Does anyone have recommendations for a specific lab that you use?

I know there are ways to do this online (where clients order pictures directly from another site) but I figured some are better than others, and wanted to get some advice.

Thanks!

Mandy

I use Miller's and White House Custom Colour. I have been very happy with both. You set up an account on the site {register, and then they approve you}, and go from there. Very user friendly, in my opinion.

In dallas if you want in person service I would choose White House Custom Color or BWC as they are both local.

I've only done this once for a 16x20 that I sold to a friend.......

Uploaded to Mpix at 7:30am on Friday. The print arrived at my office in Houston at 2:30pm on Monday.

Good quality and FAST!
