Digital Photo Files = Glossy Prints

I take a lot of digital photos, keep them on my computer, in the cloud, email them to friends. post on facebook, upload to web sites, use in marketing...... But once in awhile I need glossy prints I can give to friends.

Well I discovered today it just got easier.  

My latest clients are selling their home (It is now in contract) and they have already moved to Atria, an assisted living community in Burlingame. A few weeks ago I was at their house and asked to take some photos of them at their home. I told them this was for them so they would have photos to remember.

But I hadn't done anything with them yet, the files were still in my computer.

Digital Photo Files = Glossy PrintsI got an email from snapfish.com, where I have an account to share albums. I thought hey! That's an idea. I logged in, uploaded my 3 files to an album. Proceeded to order my three 4x6 prints. It was 11:40am. I went with the pick-up at store option, and my 3 prints were ready to be picked up at my local Walgreens in half an hour. You don't pay online and there are no delivery charges. My three 4x6 photos cost me $0.62, tax included. Now, is that instant gratification or what!

John-the real old fashioned photo will always have a place. I didn't realize the cost was so inexpensive now..

Debbie, I had to laugh - I almost felt guilty going to the store and spending 62 cents!

I'm sure there are other companies that do the same thing Mark - but this was so easy...

I use Snapfish for printed photos too.  It's a great service.  That reminds me, I haven't gotten any pictures in long time!

Sharon, they do make it easy don't they. I don't have much of a need for printed photos these days, but it's great to know the best resources.
