Questions

What form of payment do you accept?

Cash or checks.  Sorry, no credit cards or lay-away.  Sitting fee is due when portraits are taken.  50% of minimum purchase is required before proofs are posted or distributed.  Balance of minimum purchase is required when order is placed.  Balance is due when order is picked up.

When/How can I see my proofs?

Proofing: Included in your sitting fee is on-line proofing. If you prefer hold-in-your-hand (hard) proofs (4x6), there is an additional $25 fee/30 proofs. Proofs are usually ready in 7 to 10 days, either format. On-line proofs will be available for your viewing with a customer code. They will be posted for 21 days unless prior arrangements have been made. Re-posting fees may apply. Hard proofs are to be returned with order no later than 21 days unless prior arrangements have been made. The first half of the minimum purchase must be made before proofs are posted or viewed. The remaining half of the minimum purchase must be made when order is placed. Any remaining balance is due upon receipt of final order. Cash or checks only. Sorry, no credit cards or layaway.

Do you take passport or business card photos?

No.  Passport photos are available at many drugstores or discount stores for less than $10.

Can friends and family order from my proofs?

Yes, but unless they order at the SAME time, on the SAME order form, etc. they will need to pay the additional re-order fee. ($8 minimum fee) If the whole family wants to take advantage of your sitting fee, then they need to include their order with yours. The only people that will have access to your on-line proofs are the people that YOU choose to share your code with. You know how your family and friends operate. If they tend to procrastinate, you can remind them that unless they order with you, they will be charged a re-order fee. Please keep in mind that on-line proofs will be posted for 21 days unless prior arrangements have been made.
