When our friends at Black River Imaging approached us and asked to feature our studio in their 2012 Advertising campaign, we were more than thrilled.   Our relationship with Black River started in 2008 when Natalie first launched her business choosing BRI as her exclusive lab. More than just a vendor, Black River Imaging creates quality products and provides extraordinary customer service in their 33,000 sq ft lab. Continual innovation in production and software, passionate leadership and reliability have made BRI our long term partner.

Last month, Natalie and Gene Ho hosted a two day Summer Sizzler workshop in Missouri where the entire group was given a private tour of Black River Imagings lab.  It was like being in Willa Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.  For those of you who know Natalie, it was hard for her not to press every button!  What an experience seeing how their gorgeous albums and press printed products were made.  More than just a production facility, BRIs products are in the trusted hands of their employees who take great care and pride in delivering the very best to us every day.  Watching the staff made a gallery wrap with such care and precision in one area and seeing another staff member make a gorgeous mosaic album was truly extraordinary. Talk about Christmas coming early!!!
