Print Orders – Ending?

For anyone waiting for me to tell you that print ordering is closing soon. Never fear. There will be no end to print orders. Order at your convenience. I will deliver prints as soon as possible.

Most are ordered the next day and I receive them within 1-2 days. Lately my print lab has been shipping the same day I order. Is this typical? Yes and no, depending on where I land in the queue. If I order on a Monday, they could have a lot of pending orders from the weekend. The most I've waited for my order to ship is 1 day, and received on the second day. Three days total!

Even metal prints have been a quick turn-around. Many have been shipped the same day. Most are shipped the following day.

Even with this quick of a turn-around time, the print quality is excellent. I'll never switch print labs and won't print anywhere else, even if it's less. It's that important to me.

If you want to know where I print, it's at Miller's Professional Imaging. They have a consumer portal, too, so if you want to print at the same place, use MPix (http://www.mpix.com). I highly recommend them. I used them for a long time until I qualified for the professional level.


Print Sale – 8×10 and 11×14 through 2/18/16

I've just received an e-mail from my photo lab, and they're reducing the print prices on 8x10 and 11x14 sizes, only through tomorrow. That's the way they do sales; only a couple of days.

So, I'm passing that savings on to you. 8x10 is now $8, and 11x14 is now $20, but only through tomorrow. Friday they go back up.

I'm not trying to be a pusher, just letting you know. Thanks for your interest in my work!


Print Update

Print update. I've had several orders, and they have been placed since I've met my minimum print order from the lab. Any new orders will be placed as soon as they meet the minimum order.

I know I said I was going to wait until two weeks after the end of the season, but I feel if I can get them to you sooner, why not!

Metal prints will always be ordered ASAP because they meet the minimum order by themselves. If you haven't seen the metal prints and would like to, give me a call and I'll bring over some samples. Same with the paper prints. I have samples of those in all but the 11x14 size.

For those of you with athletes that played only JV, I can break them out into individual galleries, too. Let me know if that's something that will help.

For those of you that can't decide, I can help with that, too. I've been tagging photos all season long of the ones that I think are the best for each athlete. Let me know if you want to see them.


Print Order – Reminder

Just a reminder that a basketball print order will be made on March 1st. I'm making the deadline 8PM, so please get you orders in before then.

Is this your only opportunity to order? No, but to make things more economical for everyone, a group order makes this possible. Everything is printed at a professional print shop. If you want to see samples or have any question, please don't hesitate to contact me.

The print sizes that I've made available are for convenience. Many more sizes and options are available. Let me know what you want and I'll get back to you with a quote and make it available for ordering.

I've only made ordering possible using PayPal, but since we're all local, I can make payment possible by check or cash if that makes things easier.


Print Orders

I will be making a print order on March 1st, and should have prints in my hands by the 5th, and in your hands by the 6th.  All my prints are done by a professional print shop with very quick turn-around.


Welcome to Photography by Mike

Hi, I'm Mike Peterson, and I live in Millinocket, Maine.  It's a beautiful area with lots of outdoor activities.  I spend a lot of my time outdoors, taking pictures while I hike, snowshoe, etc.  I take photos of anything that catches my eye.  Sometimes things work out, other times they don't.

I also do portrait and event photography.  Currently, I've been taking photos of the Stearns boys and girls basketball teams.  Check out the galleries for all the pictures.


Basketball Photos

Athletes, parents, etc, in the galleries I've enabled purchasing of digital downloads and 3 print sizes.  Those aren't the only options available; if you can dream it, I can do it.  Let me know what you want and I'll work out a price and let you know.

Some parents have talked about collages instead of individual pictures.  I have no problem doing this.  To make this easier, follow these instructions:

  1. Add the photos to your cart that you want in a collage.
  2. Check out using 'collage' as the discount code.
  3. Make sure you fill out all your contact information.

The discount code is 100%. This doesn't mean that a collage will be free, it's just being used to communicate to me what photos you'd like to use. I would suggest no more than 10 photos per collage.  Think about how busy an 8x10 will get with the number of photos that you choose.

If you have any questions, please contact me.  If there are other formats, such as photo books or other print sizes, please contact me.  I have access to lots of photo print shops for low to high end photo books.  An example of a low end book would be like a magazine.  Pages are bendable and can be fragile.  Higher end books have more rigid pages and typically lay flat.  The lower end ones may not.  Of course, there's a price trade-off.  Low end books will be much lower cost but may not last long.  High end books will be a keepsake.
