Frequently Asked Questions

Prints

Why do you only offer canvas prints?

I choose to offer only canvas prints because I feel that canvas best showcases my photography. The texture of the canvas enhances depth and detail that paper simply doesn’t provide. Additionally, canvas prints come ready to hang with a handmade wooden frame, eliminating the need to purchase a conventional picture frame. This ensures that your artwork arrives ready to display, making it both a premium and convenient option.

How do I determine the right size for my space?

Smaller sizes like 8x10, 8x12, 16x20, and 16x24 work well for compact spaces or when paired with other artwork. If you want your canvas to be a focal point of a room, consider the larger sizes for the best visual impact.

What exactly is museum-quality archival canvas?

My canvas prints are made from premium, archival-grade materials designed for longevity and rich color depth. The cotton-blend fabric provides a natural texture, while fade-resistant inks ensure vibrant, lasting colors. The canvas is both OBA-free and acid-free, preventing yellowing over time. Each piece is carefully stretched over a handmade solid wood frame for durability and comes ready to hang.

How much is shipping?

Shipping within the United States is included with every order!

Can I order larger sizes?

Yes! If you’re interested in a larger size that is not listed, please contact me using the Contact Form for assistance.

Do canvas prints need frames?

No, frames are not necessary. Each canvas print comes stretched over a sturdy wooden frame with finished edges, ready to hang right out of the box. However, if your decor style calls for a frame, they can be added based on personal preference, but we do not provide that service.

How long will it take to receive my order?

Orders typically arrive within 7-10 business days. This includes production and shipping time. If there are any unexpected delays, you will be notified via E-Mail.

What if my canvas print arrives damaged?

While damage during shipping is rare, I want you to receive your artwork in perfect condition. If your print arrives damaged, please contact me through the Contact Form as soon as possible, and I will arrange for a replacement at no cost to you.

Will the colors look exactly like they do on my screen?

Because screens are backlit, colors on a monitor will always appear slightly different from printed artwork. While we strive for accuracy, subtle variations will occur due to screen calibration and lighting conditions. The satin finish of the canvas enhances contrast and depth, ensuring that colors appear rich and vibrant in person.

Can I cancel or change my order?

Because orders are sent directly to the printer for fulfillment, all sales are final once production begins. Production can begin within minutes or up to 24 hours after purchase. If you need to make a change, please reach out immediately via the Contact Form, and I will do my best to assist you. However, once production starts, a refund is no longer available.

Sports Gift Cards

I’m a parent/grandparent/relative of an athlete, and I want to get them a gift card. Which option should I choose?

This depends on what your athlete’s goals are. If they are enjoying playing in a competitive sport and would like action shots to remember their time, the Game Day Action Package is a good choice. While I focus on action, there will also be a couple candid shots of the athlete that helps tell the story of the game from the action to the in-between times.

If your athlete is preparing for college recruitment, the Recruiting Highlight Package is the best fit. I will concentrate on capturing key moments that demonstrate their strengths and playing style. The resulting gallery is tailored to what coaches and recruiting staff want to see from serious prospects.

In short, the Game Day Action Package tells your athlete’s story, while the Recruiting Highlight Package spotlights the abilities your athlete wants recruiters to notice.

Once the athlete gets a gift card, how do they go about scheduling with you?

Can I cancel or change my order?
