Life at the Lab

12.17.15BLOG > Featured | Holidays

Like clockwork each year, an imaginary switch is flipped the day after Thanksgiving. We hurriedly get to the lab on Friday morning to discover that our photographers have announced the beginning of the holiday busy season. Rush, as we fondly call it in the lab, is the ultimate test of teamwork, communication, time management and training.

We bring on loads of seasonal help to assist with our influx in volume. Veteran employees spend a great deal of time training and assisting new faces with their tasks to insure that each order is properly printed and packaged. When we say “shipping around the clock”, this is not hyperbole. We are here at the lab 24 hours a day, seven days a week until December 23rd so your clients can receive their packages in time for Christmas Day.

Through these late nights and early mornings, our teams bond and grow closer than ever before. We are able to come through with last-minute emergency orders, troubleshoot ordering issues and assist with the many details that come with running a photography business during the holidays. All of these amazing feats are possible for one reason: our people.

We invite you to take a moment to check out the amazing individuals behind the scenes that bring your creations to life. (Columbia, Mo lab)

Thanks for sharing pictures of your hard working family at Miller’s! I’ve been a customer since 1999,
and don’t ever plan on stopping. You do an awesome job year round but really shine at Christmas time. I had a problem with some Christmas cards (my fault) You worked with me to
get it right. My customer received them on Dec. 21st as planned. They loved them, and I loved being able to deliver a quality product on time.
You guys are awesome! Everyone of you.
Have a Happy New year!

I cannot THANK YOU all enough for the hard work and endless hours you commit during the Christmas season! I know as a photographer, I sacrifice time with my family and lose sleep to meet my own busy season deadlines of editing and designing and ordering. Every now and then I wonder if my clients realize those sacrifices and I think how awesome it would be to just hear thank you and I appreciate what you do. I know that the Millers team sacrifice a lot during the crazy busy season, too, and I wish I were local to just give you all a big hug. Please know how much your service to all of us photographers is GREATLY APPRECIATED!! I’m a lifetime client for sure!! Happiest of New Year wishes to each of you!! ??

Aaron Berger says:

I will continue to say over and over again how professional, timely and exceptional you all are!! I have used other labs in the past, and they just don’t and won’t ever compare. It’s sometimes hard to believe that the quality remains so high, given the fastest turnaround time in the industry. From albums to prints and not to forget the fantastic customer service, there is no other lab that compares to Miller’s!!

You all ROCK!!! Thank you so much for all you do for us year after year!! Best Lab EVER!! Seriously!!! <3

I commend you on your outstanding quality and exceptional customer service both of which are state of the art. Your products and services allow me to provide my clients with best possible options in the industry. Thank you for your continued level of service and quality. I look forward to a successful 2016. Happy New Year to the fine Miller’s Lab Team….
