Delivery Time:

Please allow at least 15-20 working days for your order to be processed. Sepia toned prints are batch processed, which may cause a delay. Rush orders may be possible at double the price.

Before processing can begin, a 50% deposit, by check or money order, is required for orders that will be picked up. If your order has not been picked up within 60 days from the time it was completed, your deposit is forfeited and the prints placed for sale to others.

Orders that are mailed require full payment, by check or money order, before processing can begin. There is a minimum $5.00 charge for mailing a 5x7 or 8x10 print, and $7.00 for an 11 x 14 of 16 x 20. Insurance for shipments is available upon request, payment of which is the responsibility of the patron.
