Recommended Resources
The following are companies that Hiebert Photography uses, works with, recommends or otherwise considers to be the best of the best.
Advertising, Graphic Design and Public Relations
Keystone Resources - I like them well enough to share office space with the Keystone team. They do exceptional work. You'll find them online at www.keystone-resources.com.
Digital Canvas Creative Services - Great work and great people. I've been fortunate to work on a variety of projects in conjunction with Digital Canvas and am always impressed by their results. Online at www.digitalcanvascs.com.
Magnolia Sky - Becky Myers and Karen Naumann are an exceptional resource that will deliver public relations results. You'll find them at www.magnolia-sky.com.
Patrick Henry Creative Promotions - If you're in the business of making things that are yummy, then these are the folks to call if you want your business to take off: www.phcp.com.
Framing
Hollywood Frame Gallery - How you display your art (photographs or otherwise) matters. A high-quality framing job will ensure your art will withstand the test of time. The Hollywood Frame Gallery team takes it a step beyond and creates display solutions that truly enhance the art they protect and preserve: www.hollywoodframegallery.com.
Printers
TGI Printed - Jeff Arnhart is a little older than I am, and he's been hands-on in the printing business since he was 14. He knows his stuff and will make you look better than you thought you could. The Web site may not be pretty, but TGI deals with things on paper, not things on the Web: www.tgiprinted.com.
Camera Equipment
Houston Camera Exchange - I love 'em. They're online at www.hcehouston.com.
Camera Co-op (Houston) - I love them, too. They're online at www.cameracoophouston.com.
Imaging Spectrum (Dallas) - If you do your own printing, whether ink jet or dye sublimation, then these are great folks to know: www.imagingspectrum.com.
Other Fabulous and Cool Stuff I Like
Beckwiths Blades - Every photographer needs a good knife. Heck, everybody needs a good knife. LC Beckwith will set you up with some very sharp stuff: www.beckwithsblades.com.
Don Gaspar Inn - If you have any sense, inevitably you will make your way to Santa Fe for at least a day or two. The best beds in town are at the Don Gaspar Inn: www.dongaspar.com.
Cibolo Creek Ranch - More authentic than Marfa and your cell phone probably won't work. If you want to really get away and have an experience unlike anything else: www.cibolocreekranch.com.
Cutlery of Santa Fe - I've found some amazing things in this little shop: www.cutleryofsantafe.com.
Percussion Center - My spouse plays drums. The Percussion Center has the coolest drums in the galaxy and the best team in the universe: www.percussioncenteronline.com.
McCormick and Schmicks (Town and Country Village) - Whatever you choose, you won't go wrong. The Town and Country Village location is an entirely new look for M&S, and it is carried off in a wonderful fashion: http://www.mccormickandschmicks.com/Locations/houston-texas/houston-texas/townandcountryboulevard.aspx.
