But I was SO happy with the pictures. Frank instructed us on how to pose and he really captured good angles of my husband and I. The pictures came out so fancy looking! I printed out some of my favorites and sent them out with my thank you notes. So many people commented on how great the pictures were. I also went to two other photographers in the area but felt that DuPree had the best value for the price. I would definitely recommend Frank and DuPree Photography.

As with many things, you get what you pay for. PRINTS Do you want cheap photo prints ready in an hour that you print from your phone but are of mediocre quality and might get cropped funny? Or do you want high-quality photos printed in about a day that will last for years? I chose to get my photos printed at NY Camera. You email them the photo and they let you know when it'll be ready. Because digital cameras take pictures at different ratios than frames, I had kind of a funky situation. I proposed a solution (e.g., print with white space on top). NY Camera did that. AND they also printed two other possible options, one of which was WAY better than what I proposed. I chose their option, and they only charged me for the one print. FRAMES Do you want a cheap frame that gets shipped to your house overnight but that you have to assemble yourself and look okay but not great? Or do you want a nice frame that works with your picture? I got my frames at NY Camera. Not only did I get the right size, but they also provided input on the best color to enhance the picture. AND THEN: The owner opened the frame box, checked that the picture would fit, trimmed it carefully until it would, obsessively cleaned the glass of the frame until there wasn't a speck of dust or fingerprint in sight, and then put it all together for me. CAMERAS Look, I love online reviews. I love tech blogs. But sometimes you need a real human. While picking up other stuff, I've heard the staff engage in depth with customers about the merits of one camera over another, used versus new, benefits, drawbacks, etc. They know their stuff. And not just their new stuff. My dad has a camera from 1950 that he loves. They lovingly provide the tune-ups it needs to stay in shape. I live out of town, but whenever I'm back and need something, I'll come back here.
