Copyright
In 1976 congress passed a comprehensive copyright act that went into effect in 1978. The law prevents the publishing, distribution and even photocopying of a copyrighted work without the creators permission. We put our studio website on all wallets & proofs for self promotion.

Scanning is against the law. Even though you paid for the prints, The studio owns the copyright by U.S. law and are not to be scanned at home by you or anyone else. One of our priorities is to supply affordable professional portraits. Since we don't feel our prints are overly priced, we don't see why our customers should feel the need to violate copyright law. Please respect our hard work and time we have invested in your portraits.


Customer Satisfaction Guaranteed 
All orders not picked up within 30 days are subject to a $15 fee. The studio is not responsible for storage on orders over 90 days. If you not happy with your portraits we would like to reschedule for another session, replace or correct. Any monies paid for the above services shall be fully refundable if customer satisfaction is not achieved. In this event all goods sent to the customer shall be returned to our studio prior to any refund being made.
