Where can I send my clients to purchase photos

I have a business whereby I take clients on photo excursions in and around NM. Often these clients are amateurs and hobbyists on vacation want a print. Some want a 4x6, which is easy to print on a portable printer set up...but others want photos for holidays. Has anyone on the Hog set up something like this? I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Holiday cards?
When do they want them? Now?
Costco or other stores do cards.
Not exactly sure what the intentions are here.
Did YOU want to sell them to the client?

Holiday cards? Possibly/Yes
When do they want them? Now? Fairly soon. Mailed to them.
Costco or other stores do cards. Noted
Not exactly sure what the intentions are here. Set up a website to host their photos just after they take them.
Did YOU want to sell them to the client? Yes.

I have a web space on SmugMug wherein a client can select a proof, size, and finish. SmugMug has customer support that is second to none; they will be glad to help you set this up.

Who prints them?
Is it an "order" sent to you and you make arrangements to get it printed and delivered to the client?

Good question. was going to print them myself as I am well equipped to do so. I am considering a portable set up with a couple of Canon Pro-10s...or the online option. Just putting out some "feelers" to see what others think. Delivery is an option...even, self-delivery...but I am looking around for options.


Good questions, too. Thanks!

A Fine Art America account would enable you to get shots printed, and framed if desired, customer can order directly, less work for you, and other items are available, cards, mugs, shirts etc.

Picture Perfect Photo Lab or Image Masters Photo Lab, both in Albuquerque. If they don't live there, have them Google "custom photo labs" wherever they do live.

It seems almost everyone does not list everything they should have thought about in the OP. You didn't say what size they want. Wall hanging? Much different from a 4x6 or 8x10. Are their snapshots capable of enlarging to this bigger size? You are the "pro" and responsible for the recommendation as well as the results. (Do a good job.)

A custom photo lab will be able to handle any request.
