New Offer

     It's been a while since I've posted.  Its been a busy August in the Backwoods.  I'm blogging today because I want to share a change of heart I've had recently.  I did photo shoots this summer of two of my middle kids.  I edited them and love each of their personalities shining through in the photos.  When I printed them, I was very disappointed.  The color correction I had worked so hard on in photoshop was gone.  Mason looked yellow in the photos I received and Tabitha looked grey.  I have them on my wall anyway, but it still pains me to look at them because I can still look on my computer and see how they should have turned out.  I'm afraid that is happening with my clients also.  I work hard to give you the best I can and to know that you may be disappointed after printing is driving me nuts.

    I recently read a blog from Paint the Moon Actions that shed some light on my problem.  In it, she gives details on different print companies and makes a very good argument for using professional printing services and the reasons why this is important.  If you like feel free to read it here.  Because of this article, I'm an currently working on setting up ordering options through Backwoods Photography.  No client will be under obligation to do this, but I feel it's important to offer it.  More important than I ever thought before.  I feel by giving you the disk, I am saving you money, giving you art for a low price.  Many of my clients wouldn't have beautiful portraits of their family and children any other way. I want to keep offering that but I feel like I'm doing my clients a disservice by not providing more.
     Before October, I will re order the photos of Mason and Tabitha I loved so much from Simply Color Lab, I will also be ordering a sample book of their printing work.   If I am happy with their print work, I will be providing their service through Backwoods Photography.  This is a professional service so unlike Snapfish, Walmart or Target, you'll have to go through me to get the prints.  I won't be upcharging much for this service.  I just want to make sure that clients have access to the very best.
     By spring, I will also be offering other specialty print options.  Metal, wood and canvas printing and I'm working on a package that will include these in the offer.

Let me know what you think of this option
