“Mid-South is in a class of their own!”
“We’ve worked with many labs over the past 45 years, but Mid-South is in a class of their own! Their color quality, print density and reproduction of skin tones are above any other and the quality on their canvasing is an art piece in itself. They’re just beautiful! True artistry, craftsmanship and care go into their products and services and we are so blessed to have them be apart of what we create for our clients. World Class!”

“I chose them because they were the best”
“Mid-South Color Lab is an invaluable partner for me. Having worked in the industry for almost 30 years now, and used a variety of labs out there, I can say that the personal customer service is absolutely unique among photographic labs in our industry. Brooks, Dirk and the rest of the team are so personable and care so much about our relationship. Also, being one of the most expensive portrait photographers in the country, I absolutely must have quality at the highest level without compromise. With Mid-South, I know I will get that every time. The quality is second to none.
“When my long-time lab closed their doors, I embarked upon a long and arduous search for the best lab in the country to meet my needs. In the end, I did not choose Mid-South because they were the cheapest, I chose them because they were the best. Everything that has followed that decision has absolutely surpassed my highest expectations. It was the best business decision I have made in a very long time.”

“I have found my team–Mid-South Color Labs”
“The day I started working with Mid-South Color Labs was the day my life in the studio improved. Changing labs has never been easy but the switch to Mid-South could not have been easier. From day one, their service has been incredible! Whenever I call with a special request or a problem that I have created, customer service has always said ‘We can take care of that, do not worry about it.’ On top of this great service is their fantastic print quality and turn around time. It is so nice to find a lab that is concerned about my satisfaction.
As a high-end studio, I need a team behind me working and delivering the finest portraits that can be produced. I have found my team–Mid-South Color Labs. Thank you Mid-South for being there and making my portraits look their very best.”

“I don’t have to settle for good enough”
“For me, what I love about portrait photography is the never ending creative process. Working diligently to perfect design, lighting and posing is what I want to concentrate on. Mid-South Color allows me that freedom as they take care of perfecting the beauty of the final image. Knowing and trusting Brooks and his amazing team to personally watch my orders and tweak where needed guarantees me the perfectly printed portrait. Each photographer has their own vision of what the finished canvas should look like.
Mid-South doesn’t limit me to a drop-down box with three options in finishing, instead they worked with me to find the perfect canvas and spray combination to complete my vision. My clients choose me because they desire a style that I create, they return because we exceed their expectations with quality.”

“There is a professional lab that can still deliver”
“Mid-South Color embodies everything you would want in a lab. They excel in quality, customer service, and commitment. In today’s industry, many of these qualities have become diluted, but not with Mid-South. Brooks Clayton and his superior staff make you feel more like a friend, rather than an account number. They are just as concerned with your final product as you are. The quality of their prints are superb and deadlines are always met. My image as a professional is very important to me, Mid-South Color is a key component in maintaining the level of quality that I desire.”

“My lab has to be an extension of me.”
“For the last twenty five years I have sent my work to Mid-South Color Labs. Having experienced their ability and quality while at Skipworth in Memphis, I saw absolutely no need to change labs when I opened my studio in Nashville. Like most professionals, I have my list of preferences. The people at Mid-South have come to know me and what I expect. I like their attitude toward being a ‘partner.’ That means I get their best every time. And when I have a special request, even computer issues that have nothing to do with the lab, Mid-South is there extending their best to me. I like that in a lab.”

“Why would I go anywhere else?”
“My relationship with Mid-South Color Labs started 10 years ago. There has not been one day that I’ve considered using another lab. Brooks and his co-workers care about my business as much as I do! His staff knows what I expect, and they produce the portraits I need for my clients. Why would I go anywhere else!”

“A portrait photographer is only as good as their lab.”
“I’m fortunate in that a large portion of my business involves canvas-mounted wall portraits. My customers are discriminating. They expect a creative, well-produced portrait. The creativity is my part, the rest is up to the lab. I switched to Mid-South Color over fifteen years ago because they deliver well-printed, exquisitely mounted prints…time after time. When the inevitable problem does arise, they are very accommodating and quick to adjust. The real test of a lab comes at Christmas. Mid-South Color Labs makes my Christmas seasons the easiest they have been in years. As a portrait photographer, you’re only as good as your lab. Mid-South does their part in making me look good all year long.”
