Shipping, sizing & policies

Everything you need to know before you order.

Shipping & turnaround

Every print is made to order — nothing is sitting on a shelf waiting to be shipped. Once you order, I personally print, hand-mat and mount, sign, and box your piece, which typically takes 7–10 days before it ships.

Shipping is flat rate within the continental USA, sent via USPS:

  • $29 for Standard and Wide prints
  • $55 for Panoramic prints, due to their larger box size

Sizing & matting

Every print is made on full 17" paper and hand-matted to fit. Because each photograph has its own proportions, the exact size varies image to image — you'll always find the precise dimensions listed on that print's own page.

Here's how the finished, matted size is figured:

Final image size17" on the short side
Mat adds to width+ 5"
Mat adds to height+ 6"

Because mats are hand-cut, the actual trim size may vary slightly from print to print — part of it being made by hand rather than a machine.

Returns & care

If a print arrives damaged, it will be replaced at no cost. Because each piece is made to order, unopened prints can be returned within 14 days for a refund minus shipping.

Once it's on your wall: keep it out of direct sunlight and away from humidity, and frame it with UV-filtering glass for the best longevity.

Payment

Checkout is handled securely through PayPal — you don't need a PayPal account yourself, as it also accepts most major credit and debit cards at checkout.

Custom orders & questions

Looking for a size not listed, a different piece from my archive, or just have a question before you order? I'm happy to help — reach out directly and I'll get back to you personally.
