I have just recently done a photo session with a family, the pics turned out awesome and they love them, now they are buying a package of pictures from the session, im not a professional photographer by far so do I put my name and a logo on the pics small bottom right or maybe on the proofs? not sure what to do but don't want them to be able to remake them or anything, is this right of me lol not even sure or that lol. If it's a yes to do this then wwhere can I get it done?

  You could put a logo into each image file itself (such as using a brush stamp in Elements, etc., that stamped your name in script, etc., like you see as a watermark on many BP images.) Then it would print on paper as part of the image.

If you're talking about adding a logo to already-printed photos, you could probably find a place that makes custom rubber stampers, or embossers. (I'm thinking back to Olan Mills Photo Studios in my childhood, where their name was stamped on the image itself, in gold foil, at the bottom corner.) 'Fraid I don't know of any off the top of my head.

  Darlene, you can have Vista print create small labels you can adhere to the back of each print.

They have a spectacular amount of available presets to choose from.

Simply place your name at the top as "Photographer" and under the heading state the images are Copyright protected and may not be reproduced or used for any other purpose. Then add your contact info.

I would not be concerned with archival quality as you stated your not professionally in the business and it will take decades for the glue to have any negative impact at all.

The beauty of this is the labels will be difficult to remove from the back without damaging the print and in order to make a quality reproduction a lab will need to photocopy to get good results. Labs will not photocopy someone elses work.
