Happy Dance for custom matting! Knowledgeable staff, the gentleman who helped me custom cuts mats for me. Right on the spot. Now that's great customer service. I have not used they're Framing Service yet but I will update this review when I have. But if it is half as good as the mats that they have I am sure it's going to be great. What a fantastic find for local photographers. They do have lenses and other gear including filters for your camera. Disability score 5 out of 5 everything is accessible. Have a great time, and show me your photos when they're done.

I recently had to get pictures printed for the photo boards we are using at my Father's funeral. As always this business has went above and beyond the call of duty. I simply refuse to get print work done else where. Beautiful, clean store with amazing customer support. One of the friendliest business's I have had the pleasure of shopping at!
