Q.
What happens to my order due to the postal strike/lockout?
We are hoping that the postal strike or lockout will not last too long.
In the event it does, we will do one of the following options:
- Hand deliver the order to your door;
- Send the order by courrier;
- Wait for the stike to be over;
- If you ordered digital files on CD, we will send the files using
a trusted file transfer service provider (wetransfer.com) then send the physical CD once the strike is over

What
is Basic retouching?
The Basic retouching option
removes or softens blemishes, lightens the eyes and teeth, removes glares in
glasses, and removes excessive skin reflections. This option is designed to
keep the natural features of the face and corrects highlights created by the
flash. We do not perform any softening filters for this option to preserve a
natural-looking photo.
If you wish to make corrections such as
removing unwanted items in background, removing strands of hair, wrinkles,
moles, applying soft focus, etc. the Advanced Retouching option is available
for a small fee.
Q.
What is Advanced retouching?
The Advanced retouching option
covers items in the Basic retouching option, plus any special instructions such
as removing unwanted people/items in background, removing strands of hair,
wrinkles, moles, applying soft focus. This option is designed to alter the
image and/or facial features. Every effort is done to keep the image looking as
natural as possible.
Q.
How will my final pictures be cropped?
Print cropping is usually done
from the bottom of the image on all prints. More of the bottom of the image
will be cropped off on an 8x10 than on a 5x7 because of the different
proportions of the print. We will crop according to our best judgment or we can
crop according to your instructions if it is feasible to do so.
Q.
What is your return policy?
We have a 100% satisfaction
guaranty policy. If you are unhappy with your printed pictures, please contact
