Printing & Wall Galleries

It’s the holiday season and a lot of 2009 brides are now ordering prints as gifts for family and friends. But, if your anything like me (SO terrible at getting my own pictures PRINTED) make it your goal to get your photographs PRINTED – I can’t stress that enough! Yes, you may have your digital files already but THAT WILL STAY ON YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN unless you get PRINTS!!!!!!

Also, a few tips about ordering prints…  

#1. Your photographer ( me 🙂 ) will ultimately have the best possible print quality for your pictures because they will use a professional lab for printing and have their computer and your digital files collaborated with the print company they use.

#2. Don’t EVER go to a drugstore (aka Rite Aid, Walgreens), grocery store or superstore (Walmart, Sam’s, Costco) to get your pictures developed because you will have a very large file to use and these labs will have a smaller, un-calibrated printer, and possibly an untrained technician … meaning that your pictures will get cropped funny and be off color wise (think a green or orange tint that was not on the original file). Go to a professional printing lab and you’ll be a happy camper. 

Okay, so now you have your prints. I know, I know, I know – what do I do with them?! Well, here ya go…. fresh ideas for hanging your prints. Any of your photos can be converted to black and white or retouched (zaps out blemishes) by yours truly – also, if you are lacking some creativity give me a holler and I will make you an idea template just like this one full of your own pictures!
