Photography is your art. Printing is ours.
We believe photography should be printed with the same care it was captured—with color, clarity, and quality that stand the test of time.
Our Story
Crafted for Creatives. Trusted by Professionals.
WHCC is family-owned and has been led by the Hanline family since the mid-1990s—first by Mike Hanline, and today by his sons, Chris and Tim.
Photography is in our DNA
The Hanline family’s photography roots go back three generations, beginning with Mike’s parents, who opened a portrait studio after World War II and later operated a photo lab in Kansas City. That foundation in photography and printing shaped the family’s passion for the craft and their understanding of what creative professionals need in a true partner.
Trusted for Decades
Founded in 1978 on Selby Avenue in St. Paul, WHCC began in the analog era with a simple goal: to serve creative photographers with reliable color, quality, and support. Those early roots built the foundation for who we are today—a trusted partner combining craftsmanship and care with modern technology for consistent, precise results and relationships built on trust.
Built for What We Do
From our two-building campus in Minnesota, we design, produce, and ship every order ourselves—combining advanced technology, skilled craftsmanship, and genuine care to deliver consistent quality and dependable turnaround. Our facilities were custom-built for the work we do, allowing every product to embody our ongoing commitment to creativity, precision, and the photographers and artists we serve.
