I was hoping someone would have some suggestions on who to use. I'm looking for someone who will let me buy the negitives and is willing to do a package including before the baby, newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and a year. Also someone who has studio space but is willing to do location shots. Please let me know if you know anyone in the Tacoma, WA area. Thanks! Hi~

Printing is literally the second half of a photo. If the photo is composed well but the print job stinks, the photo ends up stinking too! Brian and I use Pictage (www.pictage.com) for all our printing needs. They are a pro lab and do wonderful work for us. But the other great thing about Pictage is their community of photographers. The community alone is worth joining. Hope that helps! Great question Angie! Printing is literally the second half of a photo.

For personal stuff that I give to the grandmas or for family albums, I use either Ritz or Costco. Costco actually prints on Fuji Crystal archival paper and only charges $1.49 for an 8x10 or 8x12 with free lustre coating.

First of all, let me say that I have your DVD and read your blog all the time! One of these days I WILL be attending a workshop...I don't know if that is a promise or a threat! LOL! At any rate, I am a beginner and have a question. Do you reccommend a company/website to print my photos? I have been using the "normal" places such as snapfish, shutterfly, ect. but would like a higher quality option. I am not always happy with how they turn out. Do you have any advice? I would really appreciate it!! Hi! First of all, let me say that I have your DVD and read your blog all the time!

Thank you for sharing this sunflare tip...I adore flare and have been trying to capture it but failing. Now I know what I've been doing wrong - can't wait for the sun to rise in the morning to try it out. :) Congrats to your big girl!

I remember when I learned to ride a bike. I taught myself. We had a small ramp from the front door step to the driveway. So I would start up by the step and ride my bike down the ramp across the drive way and onto the grass where I would fall. I did that enough that finally I didn't fall and so my bike riding began. (I think I was 10 years old by the way, if that makes anyone feel better). So much fun. Photos are awesome. YEAH PASCALINE!!!

Love the photos, thanks so much for giving us the recipe for sun flare. Can't wait to try it out. Jeramy..your comments totally got me. I have been feeling like a failure as a mom since my six year old can't swim or ride a bike without training wheels yet. My husband tells me it is because I hover too much!
