Testimonials
"Recently, I started to offer Accordion Mini Books to anyone who purchases a coffee table book or leather album with a value of $1,000 or more. I also automatically include them with Baby’s First Year albums. It made me realize that grandparents also want their own mini book to carry with them. I include 3 Accordion Mini Books, with options for more. People LOVE them! I know it has increased my clientele because people carry them around and show their friends or leave them out on their coffee tables. Accordion Mini Books will bring me big sales this holiday season!"

"When I first began my business 6 years ago, I wanted to set myself apart from other photographers in my area. I was able to do that by offering all my clients a proofbook as a gift to keep. The proofbook has a custom cover and my logo at the bottom. This has been, and still is, my trademark so to speak. The WHCC Proofbook is my best marketing tool because it’s always there on the coffee table for all to see. I cannot tell you how many new clients discover me because they saw one of my proofbooks at a friend’s home. It is the product that opens up endless possibilities."

"When we first started selling Press Printed Cards a few years ago, we didn’t have much success until we realized that people are visual and actually needed to see themselves in the cards, not just other people’s samples. They really didn’t catch on and start purchasing them until I started creating “virtual” note cards of each client, in Photoshop, to show them in the sale. With this simple idea, our sales went from a dismal 20% who bought to 80%."
-Tim & Bev Walden, Walden Photography
"Ever since we added several different options of Press Printed Albums to our product offerings, our album sales have more than tripled. All of our seniors love the unique shapes & sizes of the albums, plus they really love the Pearl paper. The parents love the albums because they always have more favorite images of their seniors than they can hang in their home. Offer a Press Printed Album, and it’s almost always a guaranteed sale! Our album designs accommodate up to 40 images so it’s a clear, easy decision for the parents to make." -Kaela Domenico, Serendipity Photography
"We know that consumers will naturally buy in the middle and by making the float wraps the middle ground we insure selling a lot more wall portraits than smaller collages or gift prints. We show all of our float wraps and gallery wraps in collections of three or more. This has created an amazing buzz in our studio and naturally encourages most of our clients to purchase more than one piece of wall art. Since we show everything in collections they assume that is how they should buy and decorate their homes with them."
-Mary Fisk-Taylor, Real Life Studios
"Our studio's Santa event always take place on the first weekend of December. Because our amazing lab, White House Custom Colour, of course is so fast on turnaround during the holiday season, we're able to offer holiday cards to our clients for their Santa portraits. We use select templates available thru focused by whcc for greeting cards and offer our clients 2 or 3 different designs to choose from. It's super easy to put the images in and get the orders off to the lab in time for holiday sharing with friends and family."
-Kaela Domenico, Serendipity Photography
"Our clients are loving the new CD & DVD Cases from WHCC, and we love selling them! We offer Animoto videos to our clients incorporating their session images, and the WHCC Cases have been a great way to finish them off and give them a powerful presentation. The video DVD’s are only available on our bonus schedule, which means a client has had to have spent at least $1500 to get them. The CD cases are a beautiful way to preserve the memories from that session plus a great add-on that will give them all of their favorites from a session. They make the slide shows custom and unique. A “must-have” item!"
-Lori Nordstrom, Lori Nordstrom Studio
"A common thing we hear in the sales room is “how will I ever pick just one!” We love this and see it as a sign of a job well done. Instead of promoting the purchase of a single, larger wall portrait, we love to create custom canvas collections. The client loves being able to get many images they love, and we increase our bottom line. Additionally, it allows our clients the flexibility to add to their existing collection. For our baby plan clients, this is ideal because we can promote selecting one row of canvases at each session and at the end of their first year they have a stunning wall piece. Our best selling option, 10x10’s paired with 10x20’s."
-Joy Vertz, Shoot the Moon Photography <
"We love the adorable, little magnetic Accordion Mini Books from WHCC, and the clients do, too! We call them “Braggers” since you can just throw them in your purse or even attach them to the fridge and brag about your kids or pets. We use WHCC’s square Accordion Mini Books as incentives and gifts for our portrait clients. Once they hit a certain purchase price point, we include a custom designed bragger. Since they are always just a bonus, we design them exactly how we like and put our website in tiny letters somewhere."
-Jules Bianchi & Joy Bianchi Brown, Jules Bianchi Photography
"For my clients who purchase files, I want the presentation to wow them. WHCC's CD Cases are a perfect fit. I can customize them for each session, while still keeping the quality and workmanship top notch. I use the metallic custom photo covers and they are gorgeous! I noticed that clients needed additional copies of their print and usage release, so I started including it on the back of the CD cases. They love having their info handy, and I love the extra orders I get when they see the quality of the CD cases! Plus, referrals from those clients are up because they have something tangible with stellar quality to show their friends."

"WHCC Image Boxes are a big favorite at our studio. We decided that we would promote these as 'keepsake boxes'. We custom design each one and this makes a great add-on to our client’s order. For our babies we design the boxes with images from each of their sessions and suggest they use the boxes as a place to keep their hospital mementoes, cards, and other sentimental items. This year we also began offering these to the dance schools we photograph. Dance moms fell in love with them when they saw they had a place to keep all of the medals and ribbons and were designed with images of their child’s favorite dance outfits."
-Shana Alexander & Stacy Fulton, Captured Studios
"I did a gallery show to benefit a local pregnancy care center. This event has made the first quarter of this year the biggest in my studio’s history! WHCC Float Wraps were the perfect product for this project as I wanted the “angels” to appear to be floating on the wall. The event created a fun angel “mini-session” for my clients while making a difference at the same time. After the session, I printed my favorites for a showing at a local art gallery and also posted them on the blog for voting - $1 per vote to benefit the care center. Gallery images were also available for sale as part of the proceeds."
-Tiffiney Addis, Tiffiney Photography
"We give a complete set of model rep cards made from WHCC’s folded Bookmarks to each of our senior clients. Each card features a layout of a few of their favorite images and their name. We also include a special offer on it with our logo. These are a HUGE hit and the seniors love to show off with them. I like the folded bookmarks the best because they allow me to include a lot more images."
-Mary Fisk-Taylor, Real Life Studios and Hayes & Fisk Art of Photography
"On all of our 'extended' or longer high school senior sessions, we pre-select the images, do a quick retouch, and create a custom-designed Press Printed Book that we present to the senior at the selection appointment. The percentage of high school seniors who buy the book because it is literally in their hands at this appointment is approximately 90%. Remember, people are visual; show them a book with their images in it and they go nuts!"
-Tim & Bev Walden, Walden Photography
"We reinforce our brand design by using WHCC’s Press Printed Products for marketing, price lists, appointment cards, gift cards, etc. The flexibility of paper stocks provide different looks that compliment our variety of photographic campaigns. And the ability to order small quantities of Press Printed Products gives us the freedom to change design elements as our programs evolve while at the same time keeps us from having to store large quantities."
-Kay Eskridge, Images by Kay & Co.
"The Long Run Printing at WHCC is one of the best things that ever happened to our studio! For the past few years, WHCC has been printing all of our long run marketing materials, such as large, small and folded postcards and our multiple page catalogs. It’s a great way for us to keep in touch and market our sessions and specials to our clients. We love the quality of the products and the fact that we can order just the right amount of cards and catalogs without having thousands left over like you do at other press shops. Year after year our clients rave about our marketing pieces and tell us that ours was the first to catch their eye out of any other thing in their mailbox. With the variety of long run options at WHCC, we know that we can produce something different and new every year! For us, being able to send all of our printing, both photographic and press, to one place is so convenient. And best of all, we know that what we get back will be just what we sent. There is absolutely no guessing if your color is going to be right or not! The speedy turnaround time and the amazing customer service that we get from the WHCC gang is just an added bonus."
-Matt & Kristin Hodgman, The Edge Gallery
"Our holiday cards go all over the world and thanks to WHCC for giving us the endless sizing options and paper choices we pass on to our clients. Christmas can be a stressful time with holiday deadlines, but WHCC’s speedy delivery allows my small town studio to work right up to the week of Christmas with press printed card orders! I know I can trust them with ALL of their press printed products, which has helped our “word-of-mouth” like nothing else."
-Suzanne Deaton, Suzanne Deaton Photography
"Press Printed Books from WHCC are my favorite products to sell. The pearl paper has been a HUGE hit with my clients! I find that when clients are having a difficult time choosing just a couple images I can provide them with an awesome alternative. Thanks to WHCC for offering such a wonderful product, I am always so excited to see the final designs completed in a book. Offering these custom Press Printed Books makes a perfect add on sale during the holidays. Boudoir books make great gifts for the hubby and the children/family books are a perfect gift for Mom. Press Printed Books also help create a modern product to offer to our senior clientele. Instead of the plain folios we offered in the past we now have a more fashionable product that the seniors LOVE! With our funky designs, the books relate to our seniors and give them something to show to their friends that they are proud of!"
-Whitney Stevens, Bliss Studio
"We LOVE-love-LOVE the Press Printed Cards at WHCC! They are hands down one of the best tools for our studio’s marketing and sales. Every year we anxiously await the holiday season to announce our new line of greeting cards, gift tags, address labels, envelope seals, gifts cards, thank you cards, etc. With all of the size and paper options available the design and product possibilities are endless. In addition to greeting cards and custom stationary we’ve also used WHCC Press Printed products for: client thank you cards, print care and copyright info, referral cards, business cards, price menus and studio newsletters. WHCC makes it so easy- amazing quality, quick turn-around, complimentary envelopes and premium packaging. We can’t imagine doing it any other way."
-Troy & Heidi Eiffert, Studio U
"Gallery Wraps tend to be the FAVORITE thing around the ARP studio! They are loved by our clients and even more by us! WHCC gives us the freedom to design very custom products for our clients, no matter how big or small. Whether it be a logo sign, wall designs with multiple dimensions and finishes, or a piece featuring some of our commercial work, we know our requests are not out of reach with WHCC. Their commitment to excellence helps us become better photographers and designers and allows us to show our clients that Gallery Wraps are actually “works of art” to be cherished, proudly displayed, and even incorporated into larger designs in the future. The beautiful but durable laminate finishes of WHCC’s Gallery Wraps is so important to us because we know our clients’ images will LAST. Creating a product with that kind of quality is something that we at ARP are so proud of, and our Gallery Wraps from WHCC truly embody the excellence we strive to maintain!"
-Allison Rodgers, Allison Rodgers Photography
"WHCC is truly one of the most amazing businesses I have ever worked with. They offer the most amazing line of photographic services. Everything from their basic prints, metallic products and their amazing canvas portraits are perfection. I trust that my portraits will meet my highest expectations and I will be able to deliver gorgeous portraiture to my clients in a timely fashion. WHCC also offers GNP Frames, so I can deliver truly finished products to our clients. I can literally one stop shop with my lab and my frame company. Imagine the time that I save not to mention the added value for both my studio and my clients.”
-Mary Fisk-Taylor, Hayes & Fisk Art of Photography and Real Life Studios
"Ordering bound proofs from WHCC has been a fabulous way for us to boost our portrait sales. Clients order them because they can use them as a reference for all the images from their session, but end up loving them so much that they proudly show them off to all their family and friends. They have been an excellent way to allow even more people to see and get excited about my photography. I know I can always count on WHCC for a high-quality product and superb customer service."
-Ria Czichotzki, Rialee Photography
"Little pleases me more than the merge of style and function. WHCC has accomplished just that with the new Premium Packaging; a simple and sleek box tied with a classic ribbon. Another entire step in the order process has been completed by WHCC; freeing time I'd rather spend shooting or with my family, not boxing orders. I'm proud to pass this chic box on to the client-they love it, too! Time and time again I am thrilled with the impeccable service & top knotch products offered only by WHCC."
-Amy Dale, Amy Dale Photography
" 'Standing Out' is just what we like to do, and WHCC Standouts are a perfect match! Presented alone, as a trio, or in a staircase series, WHCC Standouts are modern, versatile, and make a lasting impression. Being sturdy and lightweight there are always new ways to connect and display them, setting our studio apart and allowing us to offer more variety to our clients. The quality products, efficient workflow, and superior customer service at WHCC help our business 'stand out' from the rest!"
-Jennifer & Daniel Roggi, Stephen Charles Photography

With amazing quality, free envelopes and small order quantities available, our clients blow their friends and family away!"
-Laura Novak, Laura Novak Photography
“It’s so fun to be able to offer clients a "library" of memories. WHCC’s press printed books have given our studio another affordable and unique product to add onto our portrait sales. WHCC’s easy ordering system makes uploading a breeze. We love the sturdy and sleek look of the custom covers and UV coated pages. Forget the expensive and fragile albums, these books are made to be enjoyed!”
-Julie Klaasmeyer, j.klaasmeyer Portrait Design
“The new Gallery Wraps from WHCC have dramatically increased my bottom line this year. My clients are loving the quality of the products as well as the amazing turnaround time! In addition to being very cost efficient, the simplicity of ordering and designing each product ensures that I spend more time shooting and less time behind a computer.”
