dining with the Pros

Finding a great lab makes doing our job so much easier...and when you find a lab that go above and beyond for you, it must be MpixPro. I can't say enough good things about this company! When we were getting ready for Imaging, I had a big {really important} order that arrived to my doorstep a few days before I was to leave for Nashville but the order wasn't mine...yikes! I was upset...I needed my order...fast. Within minutes of emailing, I had gotten a phone call from John at MpixPro. {wow...they called ME!} They literally jumped through hoops to get that order ready {100 custom printed DVD's...not an easy task} and it arrived in time! They even hand delivered one of my last minute orders to me at the tradeshow. We then had the absolute pleasure of joining the MpixPro crew for dinner at a fabulous restaurant the next evening. The dinner was great...our host and fellow companions at dinner were fabulous! I was in complete awe...we dined with Jamie Schultz {loved her!! seriously adored her}, her adorable assistant Natasha, the lovely Catherine Clay and Heather Crowder, Arden Ward and then there was Joe Dellasega from MpixPro...what a great guy and a wonderful host! The next table was full of fun people...too many to name! {I must admit...after the great wine...I just couldn't remember}.

So...back to the workshop! MpixPro send us three or four huge boxes full of goodies to share with the attendees...and we got to experience first hand how great it is to open a boutique packaged product! The chocolate brown grosgrain ribbon...the vanilla colored tissue paper...it's makes a huge difference when you package things nicely...the power of presentation! {and their boutique packaging is only $7...try it once and you'll love it}.

I can't say enough great things about this company!

A funny story happened at dinner that I just have to tell...I'll keep it short...at the end of dinner a sweet girl got up to thank the guys and girls at Mpixpro for dinner...and she went on to tell this story~ she was invited to this restaurant by another group of photographers that she met at the tradeshow...she told the hostess she was with a group of photographers so they took her to the room where we dined. She said she noticed she didn't recognize anyone she knew but still sat down and started talking to John...after about 5 minutes she realized this was not the group she was coming to meet but she was too embarrassed to leave. So she sat there with her big coat on the entire dinner...hiding her t-shirt that she was wearing. She had gotten her blue shirt that day from Imaging...and it was from a major competitor in the lab industry. After everyone had a good laugh from her story, she went on to tell that she now has a NEW lab...once she told John she wasn't supposed to be there, he ask her to stay. That shows how much everyone matters at MpixPro!
