Choose Photo Paper Based on Your Preferences
Are you eco friendly? Really, really green? More traditional? Or are you out to dazzle? Lifephoto offers you great choices — traditional prints, metallic prints or eco-friendly photo prints. Here are the differences — choose based on your digital photos and your preferences:
1. Traditional Photo Prints used by professional studios.
Lifephoto’s full-service photo lab offers digital photo developing on top-of-the-line photographic paper. 
Kodak E-surface paper has a matte surface that minimizes glare. These are Lifephoto’s most popular prints. Photographic paper ensures the richest, clearest images possible in sizes up to 20 × 30″. This is the same paper used by professional photographers.
2. Digital Picture Printing on Metallic Paper
Print your exceptional pictures on Kodak metallic paper in sizes up to 20 × 30″. Metallic paper enhances colorful or high-contrast pictures, 
turning them into striking prints. Metallic images have a subtle reflective quality that defines a picture’s elements and makes them pop. Saturated colors give metallic images an almost 3-D look. Metallic paper is tear resistant.
3. Eco Friendly Printing on Recycled Paper
Minimize your environmental footprint by choosing Earthtru™ eco friendly picture printing.
Why Eco Friendly Photo Printing?
- Portion of paper is post-consumer material.
- Flat finish enhanced with gloss.
- Eco friendly picture printing is chemical free.
- Prints are recyclable.

Planning ahead is the secret to successful prom dresses and great photos!
Months ahead of prom, moms and daughters are buzzing around town searching for the perfect prom dress. May I suggest you take a digital camera and snap some pictures along the way?
Plan Your Prom Photos to Begin in the Dress Shop
Taking pictures along every step of the prom preparation process can be valuable when you want to create a memory book of your big night. Here are some photo ideas to keep in mind:
Dress Photos. Snap a picture of yourself in every dress you try on. Two benefits: 1) you can remember more details from the photos as you shop at other stores; and 2) you can add these pix to the pre-prom preparation section of your prom memory book.
Shoe Shopping. Ditto for shoes. Snap a photo of every pair of shoes you try on. You might want to make a collage of shoe photos for your prom photo book to recall how many you actually tried on!
Hair Styling. Are you going to have some trial hair appointments to see yourself in different hair styles? Another photo opp! Photos will help you select the one you prefer and will bring back fun memories later.
Pre-Prom, Prom and Post-Prom Photo Memories
Upload all your digital photos to lifephoto.com, store them there, organize them and then make a photo book that captures every moment of your prom experience. You can even scan, upload and include a program, menu or other mementos from the event.
Prom Dress Photos from PromDresses.net and cbslimited.com
Photo Memory Books — Easy to Make, Inexpensive and Great on Facebook, Twitter
While prom can be a budget-buster, a photo memory book is not. With 7 sizes, softcover and hardcover available, you can choose the price range and style you want. Inexpensive enough to give one to your date or other friends with whom you shared the evening. For example, a 6″x4″ softcover 20-page book is just $6.95. Softcover 20-page books that are 8″x8″ or 9″x6″ are just $12.95. (A 20-page book can hold as many as 40-50 photos.)
FREE Facebook, Twitter and E-Mail Photo Book Sharing
The prom photo book you create on lifephoto.com can be easily shared on Facebook or Twitter, on a blog post or Web site. And you can e-mail the link to your book as well. All at no cost to you!
Keep your digital camera handy and start snapping prom pix!

8 Tips for Taking Great Digital Photos of Wildflowers
If you love snapping nature photos, especially of beautiful and unusual wildflowers, you’ll pick up a few tips from this post. Written by a Photo Naturalist, the post is from the Digital Photography School site — and I’d recommend it. And, of course, the photos are fabulous! And don’t forget, you can find great ways to print and share those wildflower photos you take when you upload them to lifephoto.com.
8 Tips for Photographing Wildflowers
In this post, Steve Berardi from PhotoNaturalist discusses eight tips for photographing wildflowers.To get the softly diffused light in this photo, I waited for an overcast sky. (Photo by Steve Berardi)With spring on the horizon in some parts of the world, you may be thinking about photographing some beautiful wildflowers soon. So, here are 8 tips to get you started:
1. Use a tripod
Using a tripod will help you get sharper photos by ensuring your camera doesn?t move. But, the tripod helps in another way too: it forces you to be more careful about your composition.
When you handhold your camera, there?s a tendency to just snap away, but when you add the tripod, you?ll spend more time thinking about your composition and ensuring your camera is in a very precise position.
2. Wait for an overcast or cloudy day
