Exclamation Printing Professional Pictures

Hi I am very intersted in knowing where do I go or how do I get my portraits printed so they look like they do if you were to go to a portait studio and have them taken, I mean how they have the rounded corners on the senior pictures and the different texture to them they just look proffessionally done. Is it the paper that is being used do I need to ask for different paper or is it the finish bein glossy or matte is there another choice that the pro's use? Sorry to be so newbie but I am I have been taking photos for a long time and would like to say am pretty good but the portrait thing just throws me off and a friend wants me to do her kids senior photos and I cant do them and not have them look pro. ny help would be so much appreciated! Thanks in advance

I use Maridian.com . They do lab color corrected prints at a very resonable price.

I use White House Custom Color (Pro Photo Lab: Photo Prints, Press Printed, Press Books | WHCC). They are professionals in every sense of the word. Have never had a complaint and their service is phenomenal.
