I found Birns & Sawyer, Inc. when I had some problems with my Canon XL1, and they are specialized…read morein professional motion picture equipment. I contacted them by phone to find out if the trip to Hollywood would make any sense. Jim was very help full through the phone, answering our questions accordingly, without getting frustrated. We decided to get on the road, so our XL1 would be operational again. At location, Jim was again very help full, and went out of his way to check our XL1 on any damages and what not. We found out that only the battery needed to be replaced. Jim gave us some additional tips and we left the store with a new battery and plan to come back to pick up some other stuff for the camera. As a site note I want to say that this day, B&S were getting ready for a seminar 'Film or Digital?' It was pretty busy, moving things around, but in spite of all that Jim was willing to take his time and really helping us out. Thanks Jim

The scans were immaculate - flat, hires and converted in Photoshop beautifully. Great customer service, convenient location, very professional. Thank you Digital Photo Printing & Studio!

This has been the worst experience I have ever had with a professional company…read more I placed a custom order for 1000 folders and order a rush delivery of the folders and paid in full up front. This is what happened after that... The rush order did not get put on our order - so they were three days late in getting here. THEN - when the folders got here we discovered the the entire point of the customization (tri-fold folder with certificate holder slits on the center) wasn't done. No certificate holder slits. A little back story - I work at a national non-profit that awards talented high school students in the arts. Each year we send the winners a certificate. This year we took that money and developed the idea of an award packet that would hold their certificate. This is where folderprinters.com came in with the best quote. Now we have folders that don't hold certificates. When I call - the best they will do is send a label so we can ship them back and then fix them and then resend them. We're already days behind schedule and going to miss our drop date. They also suggest that we get photo corners and use those to hold the certificates - they say they will only cost $30. So I go buy the photo holders. Yah, the ones that cost $30 don't work. So it's really $278 worth of extra supplies that I paid for in this customization turned into improvised solutions. They should have put a new order in and cut their loss. I wouldn't have even asked for a discount on that. Get me what I need ASAP on your dime. No waiting for things to be shipped back?!?! I have lost time, money (had temps here to build these things - have to pay their contracted rate whether the thing is here to build or not), hours of my evening driving around looking for supplies, and been totally stressed out. All this on top of the fact that we are going to miss our ship date and notifications for all of our winners will be delayed which domino effects all of our preparations for programming. Somehow after all of this their owners thought a 20% discount would be appropriate! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! This is like your ruined everything you buy the dinner. Nope - they have only upped it just under a 35% discount. I don't think it's out of line to expect at least 50% back - but really?! Especially since I had to spend almost $300 in additional supplies because of their error AND will now spend more in labor to catch up!! This company sucks. And the nonchalance that management has taken is disgusting. Check me here - I don't just yelp when things are bad. I'm not one of those people ... DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! If they screw you - you are just screwed.

That Saturday morning had her setup for failure with no sunlight, a thick layer of fog, and wet floors (also, the observatory wasn't open yet)- but we still wanted to take the photos and she did it for us. She was such a trooper! Instead of looking at all the flaws of the morning, she took advantage and made it all part of the feel of the photos. No sunlight made for a cool effect. It was chilly so the dress I had worn for the photo ended up being covered by a green furry jacket (I promise, not as bad as it sounds - I'll post a few pics here to show you), I just so happened to have in the car...I tried to tough it out a bit without the jacket for the photos, but Hannah knew I was cold so reassured me that it was alright to keep my jacket on and that it still would look good, which I now think actually looks better than without :) The photos came out just as I expected them to be - clear and beautiful! Hannah has a keen eye for details and positioning. All her photos demonstrate clarity and captures emotions. Even in the early AM her personality was bubbly and cheerful :)

We told her ahead of time that we wanted to include both of our cute little dogs (a 7 year Cocker Spaniel & 8 month old Chihuahua mix) because they mean so much to us and really make us feel like we are a little family. We were just so surprised of how well prepared Hannah was and what a friendly and sweet personality she has. Hannah brought one of her dog's squeak toys with her and took it out ever so often to get our dogs to face the camera and also get a smile and reaction out of both my husband and I. The photos came out so well, that was so full of color and so vivid. She also sent them to us so quickly and with a hand written thank you card for allowing her to photograph us... really it should be the other way around because she really was so talented and so warm and just so genuine. Hannah has a talented eye for beauty and color. All of the other photos she has taken of other couples are just a taste of what she could do for you.
