Deposit & Contract
Once we have a photo chosen and size selected, I ask for a 50% deposit in order to hold your place on my list and make sure I have all the appropriate materials ordered. Deposits are non-refundable once the portrait is started or materials are ordered.
I will also send you over a contract to review and sign. This is for both your protection and mine! I lay everything out, so you know exactly what to expect. This also ensures shipping insurance and protection in case your portrait gets lost in the mail.
I have Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal. I can give you the corresponding information depending on which works best for you.
I also accept checks and cash.
• Step 5 •
Shipping or Pick-up
Once the portrait is complete, the remaining 50% + shipping is due before shipping/pickup.
I typically use USPS for shipping since it is the most affordable option.
If you stipulated any shipping requests in your contract, such as company, expedited shipped, etc. I will make sure to use those stipulations.
