Image Quality: The images displayed on this site have been reduced for faster loading, and may exibit some quality (sharpness/pixelation) problems; however, prints that are ordered here are guaranteed to look much better - professional grade quality.
Any image seen here can be purchased in a variety of print sizes. Prints are made by a professional photo lab, on Fujicolor Crystal Archive photographic paper which is renowned for its professional grade quality and long life. There are several different types of print finishes available, which can change how the image looks somewhat. Glossy (the typical photo finish), has a nice shiny surface which can reflect light in certain situations (in direct sunlight) creating some glare. Matte has somewhat less color saturation, but has little or no glare and better fingerprint resistance. Lustre has a satin-like sheen and a modestly textured surface that does not reflect light like the Glossy.
It is possible to add borders, graphics, and/or text to an image if desired. If you would like to do so, please contact me prior to placing your order.
How to order high-quality photo prints:
1. Photos are grouped by category and then into galleries, usually by subject, date, or event. Find the image(s) you want and click on the thumbnail to enlarge.
2. Above the enlarged image is a series of buttons, one of which you need to click depending on if you want to order just one photo or multiple.
3. A new page will load, asking whether you want to continue shopping or check out. When you check out your shopping cart will open with several print options:
·a) Click on the drop-down box to chose the type of print/product that you want, each has different options. Click on the next drop-down box to select the print size or product that you want. A blue box will appear if the image needs to be cropped. Please read the note on Image Sizes and Cropping below.
·b) Type in the quantity of the print that you want. If you want more than one size of an image, click on the "Clone" button on the right and chose the size.
You can select as many different photos and print sizes (from any/all galleries) as you want by adding them to your cart in this manner. Another option is the cart button photos" (on the gallery page above the enlarged photo), which allows you to select from all of the photos in a gallery without having to add them one at a time to your shopping cart. You can go back to the photo gallery by clicking on one of the photos.
4. Click on the Next button in the shopping cart when you are through. Enter your billing information, including an email address for order confirmation (don't worry, you won't get any spam). You need to use a credit card to purchase; this process is handled securely by a separate, professional service company. Your personal information is not seen by anyone (including myself) except the billing company and is entirely secure.

Image Sizes and Cropping: Each image will fit a specific print size perfectly without being cropped, but you have the option to "crop" the image to fit the print size that you want. Images that fit only specific print sizes will have only those applicable size options available. If you would like an image in a certain print size not currently available just email me and let me know, this can be done without much trouble. You also have the option of selecting "No Crop" to make an image fit a certain print size that would crop too much of an image, which will leave a white border where the image runs out.
