McClanahan Studio www.mcclanahanstudio.com Ames, IA Dan & Alex McClanahan View Program List and Speaking Engagements

"We were initially attracted to Millers through several glowing recommendations from other photographers. We heard nothing but good things about their innovative products and fantastic customer service. After testing the waters with several labs, we discovered everything we had heard about Millers to be true! Our products arrive lightning fast and the quality is insane. We love how Millers constantly creates new products that are edgy and modern - they provide the perfect medium to compliment our imagery."

"Before opening my business, I had been using Mpix for years. When I decided to open my studio, my mentor in the photography business suggested I use Miller's Lab. This has perhaps been the best advice I have ever received. Having LOTS to learn regarding ordering, pricing, paper styles, and so forth, Arnie and the Miller's team was always just a phone call away. As my business has grown, so has my menu of products. When Miller's launched the new way of ordering press books as well as LayFlat books, it changed my whole workflow! Cut my time in half and the quality far surpasses any product I have seen on the market! MILLER'S ROCKS!"

John Lewis Shipman Wedding Photography www.shipmanphotography.com West Grove, PA John L. Shipman, PPA Certified, M. Photog., CR View Program List and Speaking Engagements Schedule: TBA Topics: Going the Extra Mile - The Wedding Time Line... Photographically a wedding is a one act play with five scenes. Going the extra mile is making sure that the 5 scenes flow seamlessly together without your client knowing your doing it. A wedding tine line almost guarantees the experience "Cinderella" has on her wedding day will become an experience she will talk about forever, and it is attached to your name. A few simple, but necessary, steps, that cost just a couple extra moments can almost eliminate the stresses that occur during the wedding day. Creating a wedding time line and getting it implemented is a service that will generate referrals beyond your imagination. Also included in the seminar is how to "WOW" the guests at the reception so they go away talking about your service.

"I have been a Miller’s customer for almost 10 years. My wife and I are treated like Family, from the two visits we made to every time we call customer service. There is no better lab in the country and this is my 39th year photographing weddings. When it was time to switch over to digital it would have been nearly impossible for me if it weren't for Gene Worsley and all the FREE digital classes Miller's offers. The product line Miller's offers are second to none and the turn around time for orders is unbelievable. 80% of the Miller's staff has been with the company more than 5 years and most of the staff I talk to have been there longer than I have been a customer – that says it all right there."

K Hulett Photography www.kevinhulett.com St. George, UT Kevin and Katie Hulett Speaking Engagements: TBA

"Finding Millers has made all the difference in our photography business! We know that we can promise our clients fast delivery, exceptional quality, and consistent products every time – which in turn, gives our clients more confidence in us and helps separate us from our competition. Since switching to Millers, we have increased our sales in albums and prints, and have cut our order and delivery process in half – effectively leaving more time for everything else!"

"We were very fortunate to come across Miller’s four years ago when we opened our business. They have never let us down, and we have never had to spend valuable time searching for a new lab. Their fast turnaround and overnight shipping have pulled us out of many jams, and our clients RAVE about their metallic paper with linen texture! In those 4 years we have encountered 4 mistakes. Every one of them was our fault, but Miller’s friendly customer service staff has always gotten us back on track so that our customers never see our mistakes!"
