I got another round of prints in today. Including the 12×12’s I ordered for Teagan’s nursery…..
They look much sharper and crisp in person. I really love seeing my images in print, I need to be placing orders much more often, I’ve really gotten to be bad about it. I have no excuse either. I upload all the images I take each month into an online album and then share it with our family and friends. This way, if there is anything they want to order, they can get exactly what they want. I used to just take requests from the grandparents, but that got a little overwhelming (and expensive). My mom is a total self-proclaimed photo junky (that’s where I get it from!). If you ask her which she’d rather have in her family, a doctor or a lawyer, she’d say "neither, I want a photographer!". No kidding! Anyway, I upload at the end of every month so there is no excuse for me to not order some for myself, other than being lazy.
A few of you posted comments asking what lab I use. For family stuff, mpix is easy, because I can upload and share with family. Mpix is the consumer side of Miller’s professional lab. For business stuff, I’ve tested out quite a few online pro labs but have actually had the best luck with White House, Custom Color. I am however looking for a good pro local lab before opening the new business here in Austin. It’s on my quite long to do list =)
Nothing is better then a baby’s butt!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE those pictures. I have to ask (and expect an answer – LOL!). What do you do with the pictures when you replace them with new ones? I haven’t put up any new family pictures because I have no clue what to do with the old ones, I definately don’t want to get rid of them. Do you have some great organizing tip on what to do with them? 🙂
Love all the images for Little T’s room! They really pop against his colored walls.
The prints look great! I personally use WHCC as well.. Their customer service is phenomenal..
As always…love it!
Love the baby bottom!! (And that SOCK MONKEY!)
I love those prints…How awesome. Perfect for the nursery. And that sock monkey is adorable…Where did you get that?
Thanks! Jamie – I got it from etsy.com but can’t remember the name of the seller. If you do a search on there for sock monkey I’m sure some will come up though!
Heather – I make sure that I order everything in 4×6 so it can go in our family albums. That way I feel less guilty replacing a framed photo on the wall with something more recent. I usually just leave the old ones in the frame and place the new print over it – it’s fun to go back and look through them in the frame when I’m replacing them. I haven’t done this a lot though because 1 – we lost so many photos due to Katrina and had to start over and 2 – there isn’t much hanging up on my walls since we moved. But if I have everything in an album it relieves the mommy guilt of swapping prints out 🙂
