Before I got my first DSLR I took disposable cameras to gigs, and got the film developed straight away. Then when I got a digital compact I took it everywhere with me and printed tonnes of photos with a Kodak personal printer. Over time I've printed less and less photos, and even now the only time that I get my work printed is for business cards or my portfolio.
Overall we take more photos than we ever have, and less and less of us seem to get our personal photos printed, and it's actually quite sad. If I go into the loft at my parents house there are tonnes of old photos and I love flicking through them.
Recently I got a variety of my personal photos and live music shots printed with the Cheerz app. I love polaroids so the style instantly grabbed my attention, and they come in a cute little box! The Cheerz Box is only £12.95 (+£2.95 postage) and you get 30 photos printed! You can find out more about their printing services and other cool products on their website

Here's a few of the photos that I got printed for my Cheerz Box...
These four shots we're all taken on my phone and edited using Instagram, then imported straight into the Cheerz app.
These photos below are a combination taken on my mobile, DSLR and compact camera.
These three shots were all taken on my DSLR and then uploaded to Facebook. All three were imported from Facebook into the Cheerz app.
Looking at the shots below you can see the comparison of two mobile phone shots, with a DSLR shot on the right.Obviously all of these photos don't show you exactly what these images look liked printed, but you can get a rough idea.
All in all I'm pretty impressed with my prints. I kept my photos simple with a white border, but there's the option to change the colour of each border, and even add text to the bottom. While your images will be cropped to a square to fit the frame you can move the photo within the square, if for example an area has been cropped out. The only thing you need to bare in mind is that there might be some decrease in the quality of your images depending on compression done through Facebook, Instagram or any other apps you use to edit your photos.
Now I just need to find space to hang them around the house...
