Where you print really does matter

Otsego, MN Photographer

I did a little experiment based upon the feedback that I received when I asked my friends and Facebook “Fans” what company they  use for developing pictures. I sent a few of my images to a couple of the labs that were mentioned to see what they would look like. The results are shown below.

Three things to note: 1. Sorry for the yucky scanned images. 2. There is a huge difference in printing labs. 3. I learned that Shutterfly actually printed the 4×6 inch image on paper that was a few centimeters smaller than 4×6 inches. I am not sure why, but I am pretty sure that if you had a 4×6 inch frame that it wouldn’t fit correctly.

New Website

Otsego, MN Photographer

After some hard work and a ton of narrowing down pictures, my new website is up.  If you haven’t already checked it out, please head over to www.raivala.com to see it.

I am also looking for a graphic designer to possibly help me with a new blog header for this page.  If you know someone that is good at digital designs, please have them contact me.  Thanks!

Please pardon the mess on the blog.  I am in the midst of making changes to it so if you see something goofy, don’t be scared.  It will all be fixed shortly.  :)

Hi everyone! I am getting ready to go on a mini vacation with my kiddos this week. I will be back late on Friday and will have very limited to access to orders and emails until then. My cell phone does not work in the area that I am going to so all voicemails will be returned on Saturday and orders will be placed then as well. Have a great week everyone!

Hi everyone!  I wanted to let you know that I will be taking a break from the world of photography to allow for some family time.  I will be back in full force on July 9th and will return all correspondence at that time.  All new orders that have not been placed at this time, will be sent to the lab when I return.
I hope that everyone has a wonderfully fabulous 4th of July!
