I went to Michael's at the height of their sale: Buy 1 Get 2 Free off framing. I had six things to frame, but it was going to take 3 weeks to get my items back. On a whim, I stopped by Alpha Kat Framing and met Kat. I loved the individual attention she gives, and how she takes the time to make sure that I'm hanging my frames correctly -- she always makes a template out of cardboard for me. The best part? Her regular pricing is the same as Michael's sale prices -- and she returns your items much faster. With Alhpa Kat, you don't have to wait weeks for your items to be framed -- and you can taking advantage of her savings all year long, and not have to wait for a big box sale. Plus, I personally prefer to support small businesses and keep my money in San Antonio.

There are many different frames and mattes to choose from and the owner can help with suggestions if you aren't sure. I've often chosen a double matte to bring out the color and depth of my pictures. You can also choose between regular glass or Art glass that reduces the reflection of light off the picture. The price is moderate to expensive depending on the materials chosen, but I've never regretted what I've paid because I've always been more than satisfied with the end result.
