5. PRINTING
5.1 I do offer printing through a professional photo lab for my clients although it is ultimately up to the client where they choose to print their photos.

In the event a client chooses to use a local store for printing and their images don't turn out as they were hoping, A Flash In Time Photography is not held liable or responsible for this. No discounts, refunds, or favors will be issued as this was the clients decision to print where advised not to.
Photo labs I strongly recommend for self fulfillment:
Miller's Photo Lab
Mpix
Nations Photo Lab
