CAP is proud to announce new and improved rates for Portraits in Buffalo NY. For some time now I have depended on a la carte pricing for prints, which tends to scare people off so they opt to just buy the disk and print themselves. Allow me to say this – I love prints!

Some may scoff at the rates after getting in on the $14.99 deals from the big labs (note – their pricing structure is one of the reasons they closed!), but there are benefits to using a local pro.
