I came across a wonderful article this morning on another photographers blog, Wendy L White composed an amazing comparison for why enlargement prints should be from a professional printer – NOT walmart, costco etc…
Although I do provide my clients with a disk – as a mother I treasure the images of my family and children, this is partly why, as well as having the images to use online or scrapbooking etc. Here is my previous blog about it.
I will be ordering some various enlargements for my own home soon – as we have had our home for sale I haven’t been able to display my family art as I would normally, however there is one print that simply because I needed something fast last fall and big – it MUST be replaced! So once I receive the new image, which should be within the past week or so, I have to place an order for prints for clients soon so I am going to send it in with that order. Cannot wait for a high quality image AND print to be displayed on my wall!
Here is the image… I am now trying to decide between colour and b&w – to me b&w is timeless and regardless of the colours in my home now it will always be timeless. The image hanging now (which is horrible Walmart quality) is colour…

Here is Wendy’s blog about professional printing – this is a FABULOUS article. She took the time to show the various prints and then the professional print including the digital file. It truly is amazing to see them all together like this!
Personally I avoid printing unless I need to simply because the quality drives me nuts when it is a “quick I need an image” print locally – not slamming local printers but the typical places people do “quick prints” is the Kodak Kiosks, Walmart, Costco etc… You WILL notice the difference! Its worth it for the extra money and once we get things settled at home I will be ordering various images to have on display for my clients to view! I am quite excited about this…
So we are back to a Winter Wonderland!… yes its snowing ALOT – we had rain ALL day yesterday. I was a little nervous to be honest because I have an outdoor family session on Sunday and I have a few fun ideas that I was/am really looking forward to! After Sunday all this snow can go… for many many months!
TGIF!!!
