Holiday Closing Details…

It is official!! The “studio” will be closed November 24th through the month of December.

What exactly does this mean:

-All Christmas card orders must be placed by Nov. 22nd.

-All enlargement orders must be placed by Nov. 22nd to GUARANTEE delivery in time for Christmas. You may place orders after the 22nd, but there is no guarantee that they will be delivered in time for Christmas.

- All albums that I am currently waiting on album approval MUST have their approval forms returned to me by November 15th in order to have guaranteed delivery in time for Christmas. No exceptions as this date is set from the album company!

-I will not be scheduling any shoots during ths time.

-I WILL be editing sessions that took place before this time, but all album designing will not commence until January.

-I will still be taking reprint orders. But once again NOVEMBER 22nd is the last day to order to ensure delivery in time for Christmas.

Thanks again for another GREAT year! I wish you all the best this holiday season! Ü
