We’ve had a lot of questions come in as we have opened back up as the new owners of DIY Photo Printing, so I figured that I would answer some of those. I also hope to keep this list growing as we go on this journey. We always love answering questions about the business, and if you have any questions, comments, or feedback, we would love to hear from you. Click below to get in contact with us. We strive to be “Your One Stop Photo Printing Shop!”

  • How do I know my order has been completed?
    • Watch your email! You will receive an email when your order is completed and prints are available for pick up any time after 4 pm.
  • Can I pick up my order before 4pm?
    • The answer to this is, Yes! Just make sure that you call ahead and let us know when you plan on picking them up. This is to ensure that my wife is around to get you your order. Once again this will change as business picks up.
  • Do you offer shipping?
    • Yes, we do! We offer $5.00 flat rate shipping to anywhere in the US. We are also looking at different international shipping options.
  • If I order prints but want them shipped to someone else, will you ship my order to them?
    • Yes! You can make your shipping address different then your billing address.
  • Do you offer metal prints?
    • YES! We now offer metal prints in 5 different sizes. We are starting small with the intention of moving to bigger ones.
  • What types of prints do you offer?
    • We offer photography paper prints on 3 different types of paper, Premium Luster, Enhanced Matte, and Metallic, and we offer canvas prints on 2 types of canvas, Satin and Matte. We now offer Metal prints as well. (see above)
  • When did you buy the business?
    • We starting down the road to purchase the business back in January 2021. Dave being a wildlife photographer himself, needed a print to fulfill one of his customer’s order. Dave called to see why the website was down, and in the same conversation they asked if he would be interested in purchasing the business. We finalized the purchase at the end of March 2021, and got the website up and running in mid April of 2021.
  • Do you do the photo printing business full time?
    • Currently we do not do it full time, even though we have full time business hours. Dave is currently still working a 9 to 5 job, but prints and runs the business when he gets home from that. During the majority of our hours, Nicole runs the phone calls and the little bit of administrative items of business. We definitely want to make it our full time jobs, but it’s not to the point right now to pay the bills.
  • Why did you buy the business?
    • We bought the business due to the fact that we had another opportunity to purchase another business but never did, and everyday since we kick ourselves in the butt for not doing so. So when this opportunity arose, and sitting down with Scott and talking with him about the business, the price was right and we couldn’t pass it up.
  • Why the new look/website?
    • The short answer to that is, the old website was dated, and we wanted something we could manage ourselves rather than relying on someone else to update the website. Don’t get me wrong, but there are definitely some things about the old website that I love, and I am currently working on getting some of those features on this website to make it easier for you, our customer, to use. We also wanted to make it more personable, and keep you informed of what sales we are having and what’s going on with the business.

Welcome, or Welcome Back!

The DIY Photo Studio has been a staple to the Clearfield area for the last few years.  Back in January of 2021, the website went silent and we, like many of you, wondered if it would ever be back. I am happy to inform you that it is back! My wife and I talked about if this could be something that we could do, and after a few months of debating back and forth and trying to figure out how we could finance the purchase, we finally purchased the DIY Photography Studio and Printing business that many of you grew to love. We promise the same great service that DIY gave before.

With the purchase we are doing a little, as you can see not much at all, re-branding. We figured that the name should fit what we truly offer, hence the change to DIY Photo Printing. We are the same great printing service as before, just new owners, a new website, and a slightly new name.

We are pleased to offer photo printing on 5 surfaces:

  • Enhanced Matte Paper
  • Premium Luster Paper
  • Metallic Luster Paper
  • Satin Canvas
  • Matte Canvas

We are excited to have you back, or if this is your first time using DIY Photo Printing we welcome you! We are excited to see what DIY grows into, and our hope is to be Your One Stop Photo Printing Shop.

Why the Change?

Change is not always bad. When you take something and build upon it, change is good.

When we bought DIY Photo Studio, we were informed that with the acquisition the gentleman maintaining the website was not going to be able to maintain it once we took over. As part of the purchase agreement, he was however, going to get the site back up and running so that we would be able to a means of taking care of your orders. At the same time, and while we fully got up and running we wanted to create a website that we could maintain ourselves. We wanted something that we were able to post updates, sales, or other such items that you, our customer, could be more informed about. Controlling the website and being able to update will hopefully make it more engaging for you, our customer. As we continue to grow we have a few ideas that we would like to do with our website, some of which will include featuring work by you. This will help you get a little more exposure as an artist, photographer, or designer. We love seeing the work that has come through already and would love to feature some of your work in the coming months.

The other reason we went the route we did, is that in the acquisition the data from the old server would not migrate to the new server. So if you had images uploaded before April 2021, like I did, those images are now gone. With the format we chose for a website, now you are in control of your own images. You only upload the ones you want to be printed and if we decide to change technology, or if technology makes us change, your images will not lost. There’s nothing more frustrating then losing something you worked so hard on.

We hope that you like the new format and the changes we have made, but if there is anything that you would like to see improved or changed we are willing to listen. Email us, call us, or leave us a comment! We want this to not only work for us, but for you as well. We strive everyday to be “Your One Stop Photo Printing Shop!”
