Printing your Photos to display in your home: The importance of choosing the right Printing Lab

Professional Lab vs Consumer lab
Before I started my journey as a professional photographer, I didn’t know the difference or the value of using a professional lab for printing my pictures vs a typical consumer lab. I would always take my cd to the local Walmart or target to get them printed. What I
didn’t realize is that there were so many things off with the consumer lab compared to a professional lab. If you look at the comparison in the following article by My Click Magazine, you can see the difference in the different prints.

When I price the printing packages for you to purchase, I do it based off of the prices at the professional lab so that you will get the best color and best quality possible.
I want to provide the best quality products for my clients so I have chosen a specific professional lab that provides the best quality I can find when it comes to prints. I try to keep the printing price as budget friendly as possible but I don’t go as low as the stores because you are getting way better quality than you would at the store and as the saying goes “you get what pay for.”
However, I know that professional print shops can add up and since I offer the print release with my digital files, there is the option of going to a consumer lab and having them printed.. Although I don’t encourage this direction due to quality, this is an option. If
you choose to go this direction, this article may help in choosing the best consumer lab to spend your money at.
Adoramapix and Mpix where the best out of the consumer labs tested.
But again, quality=money and if you’re going to spend your money on a high quality consumer lab, why not just budget a little more and get the professional prints that will look even better? I do offer payment plans for the professional prints so that you can
get the best quality products to display in your home. Capturing these precious memories for you is my goal and I want you to be able to display them in the best way possible.

Welcome back, Everyone! I recently had a spectacular session with the Frank family. I've said it before and I'll say it again – I truly have the best clients ever! This family was no exception, either. They were fun, easy going and very photogenic. Although the kids didn’t want their photos taken, they eventually warmed up and we got some great candid photos. The weather was amazing but a little chilly. Apparently, mother nature finally got the memo that its fall here in Georgia. The skies were overcast which made for some amazing lighting. This was my first session really focusing on candid/lifestyle type shoots. Usually I do a mix of posed and unposed but this session was super fun, I would like to introduce the Frank Family: Jason (dad), Elana (Mom), Levi, Avidan, and Matan the kids. Jason is known as the silly dad and was joking around with the kids trying to get them to relax including piggy back rides and trying to push him in the pond. Elana is the strict mo

Power of incentives at your photo session

-
Is it okay to give your child and incentive during a session? Picture day can be a very, very stressful time if you have children. Finding the right outfit and a date that everyone is available on already causes you a headache. Once you have that down, though, everything is smooth sailing. You have prepared everything to be perfect, and then your worst nightmare happens – your child won’t cooperate. Even after you’ve coached him or her for the past two weeks and the entire car ride leading up to the session, your kiddo still just isn’t having it. You’ve tried all of the usual tricks and nothing is working. Sounds terrible, right? Well, I’m here today to save you from this nightmare, and help you prevent this from even happening. Behold the power of incentives. I know some people frown upon this, however, they probably haven’t tried to get a two, six, and 10-year-old to sit in one position together, look at the camera, and smile. It’s no easy task! As a photographer, I’m goi

 An angel in the book of life wrote down my baby’s birth. Then whispered as she closed the book, “too beautiful for earth”. – Unknown My goal of this documentary is to help spread awareness of the 1 in 4 women/families who suffer a infant loss. No matter what part of pregnancy whether early on, late term or at the very end of the pregnancy a loss is still a loss and it is in no way anyone's fault. This is a continuation of the first part (post link back to part 1) and includes the birth stories of the 7 women I worked with back in May as well as more about my story. MY STORY CONT: September 10, 2016 was supposed to be one of the greatest days of my life. I had dropped off my younger 2 girls at a friend’s house and headed out to my doctor’s appointment for my 20 week ultrasound. I had a gender reveal photoshoot planned that afternoon as this pregnancy would be the tiebreaker in our family. We were even at 2 boys and 2 girls and hadn’t even expected to get pregnant again. I had
