How do I order a card? TOP
First, find the card that you like on the site. Fill out the form on the card's page, giving all necessary information and any changes you would like made. Next, proceed to checkout to pay. At the end of the checkout process you will be redirected back to a page on this website that will allow you to upload your photos. Once your photos are sent you will receive a digital proof within 48 hours. You can make any changes to the proof that you would like and will receive an unlimited number of proofs until you are satisfied. At that point, your card will be printed and mailed by USPS Priority Mail.

What type of paper are the cards printed on? TOP
All cards are printed on Fuji Crystal Archive photo paper with either a matte or glossy finish (your choice).  They are professionally printed actual photographs.

How long does it take to receive my order? TOP

Can I use professional photos? TOP
Professional photos can only be used with a release from the photographer. We cannot use any pictures taken professionally without this release. If you plan on using professional pictures please email me a release form. By submitting pictures to me without a release you are taking full responsibility for the copyrights of the photo.
