Where would I get the pictures I take printed? Who will print Boudoir and Nudes? Don't want the pimple faced kid at Walmart getting his hands on them. Does Adorama?

as long as they aren't porn, and you hold the copyright, you can get them printed anywhere.

So what constitutes porn? Good luck defining that.

Unfortunately, porn like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I would avoid any local shop like Costco, etc.
I suspect the on line printers would be your best bet: Mpix or Nations Photo Lab

Definately not going to use a local walk in Looking for a reputable online
Just an FYI MPix said they would as long as they considered it not pornographic and obviously nothing illegal and must be from the owner of copyrights

Hmm. Porn is definitely in the eyes of the beholder, with clear exceptions. And given that, it will all be porn for the teen-aged photo printer at Costco!
I define "porn" as any photo I would not share with my wife!
Several decades ago a photographer published a book which was a collection of photos of children without clothes. Many were outraged - was it child porn? Well - it was, for anyone who received sexual gratification from the photos. For others it was a work of art.

Unless you want them passed around behind your back, get a printer and print them yourself. People that print photos make copies of ones they like for themselves all the time. Even if you come back a day or to later and they tell you they can't print them, there's a good chance they ran themselves copies.

That's why I want a reputable print company that does this regularly. For the sizes that I want a printer is cost prohibitive. I assume that there must be some photographers that have their's printed by professional labs

Personally, I would try to seek out a private person who has a printer large enough that you can trust. Believe me, I was in the business and the company may be honest, but that doesn't mean the person on the printer is and if they want a print for themselves, they will get it; it's impossible to police them. All they need is one and then they can copy it and send it around. When doing subject sensitive work, you should keep it all in house under your control. If not, you could end up being sued by the models when they are stolen and distributed and end up on facebook or something.

If you need it done I can print up to 13 x 19 for $10. sent in USA. And 8.5 x 11 cut outs for $1. on any stock you like. I like the look of 66lb. Polar Pearl Metallic from red river paper. Send me one and your address i'll send you a print if you like it we can go from there. info@bbnpb.com

Your last comment (bolded) raises concerns about "theft" of downloadable images posted on UHH, does it not? What is to stop any UHH user from posting one of these photos on Facebook, after which one loses total control of the distribution?
