STUDIO OFFICE HOURS: My office hours are Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm.

SPORTS SESSION & ORDER INFORMATION
PHOTO & RECORDING DEVICES: I request that you, and all those in your party, please refrain from using personal cameras, cell phone cameras, or any other photographic or recording devices during your session. The use of these devices can be distracting to the individual(s) that are being photographed as well as to me, your photographer.
ISSUE WITH YOUR ORDER: If your order is incomplete, or you have another issue with your order please view more information about this HERE. Mistakes happen, we're only human, but we will do everything in our power to correct the issue promptly.
NO SUBSTITUTIONS FOR SPORTS PACKAGES: In order for our studio to offer you the best possible pricing on our Sports Packages no substitutions are allowed.
SUMMER LEAGUE PHOTOS (DISCLAIMER)
We strive to deliver the highest quality of sports-related photos, products, and experiences in our area. Unlike the school sports photo sessions, the summer league sports photo sessions are usually bustling with more uncontrollable activity around our photography area. Because of this, it is more likely that the background of your athlete's photo(s) will include some activity. We do, however, try to keep the background activity as minimal as possible as we manage many different variables during each summer league photo session.
HOW TO ACCESS AN EXPIRED GALLERY
FOR PARENTS: Simply fill out and submit a Late Gallery Request Form HERE with the required information and we'll be happy to recreate your gallery and email the password to you by the next business day.
FOR GRANDPARENTS & FAMILY FRIENDS: We take the security of the young children we photograph very seriously. If you are requesting to view a gallery, active or expired, and you are NOT the parent/guardian, you will either need to contact the parent/guardian to obtain the gallery password or have the parent/guardian contact our studio to give their permission to share the gallery password with you in writing. We thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep all of our young children safe online.

WHO'S PHOTOS ARE PUBLISHED?

All Late Orders or Late Gallery Requests are excluded from being added to their team's album on our studio's business Facebook page. If you have any questions please contact our studio.
