Who doesn't love a great studio tour! So how about a behind the scenes photo lab tour? We thought this would be so much fun to show the adorable surroundings of the fun people behind the boutique photo lab, Pro Digital Photos. 

Take a peek...

Here's what owner Veronica Chapman has to say about their lab...
"We have a lot of fun doing what we do, and we all love our jobs and getting to know our customers." 


"We are different in that we are a smaller photo lab competing with the big guys.  But it's our customer service, and our attention to detail in all the things that we do that sets us apart and is helping us grow so quickly."

It's better to give than to receive...and that's exactly what Michelle Kane is doing! Head over to her blog to find out more. 


Have a wonderful weekend!

Arigato from Japan Earthquake Victims

This morning as I started my workday, I went to Facebook (I don't know why I feel the need to start my day with this, but like many of you, I do)...and started reading (again) all of the ridiculous comments back and forth from photographers...so many having such bad things to say about others and it made me sad to be a part of this industry. The cattiness of all of it is sad...it's immature...is this what people really want to spend their time doing? 
And then....I saw this video on Facebook. It touched me like you wouldn't believe...tears are rolling down my cheeks. These are the things that really matter. These people lost so much but they are not on TV (or Facebook) complaining and fighting...they are thanking everyone for giving so much to help out in the time of need. Watch the video...grab a kleenex before hand...you'll need it.
Today be thankful for all you have...and pray that tomorrow when you wake up you still have it. Because it can be all be taken away quickly. 
And please continue to pray for the people of Japan...they are the kindest people you'll ever meet.
