Our Photos
Every photograph is professionally developed and printed on high-quality photographic paper, to ensure lasting beauty. In addition, each print will come signed and numbered.
Single matting is available for each print size, and mats are available in various colors
(see color choices below).
The photos are matted with acid free mat board using archival quality linen tape and backed
with acid free foam core, ready to drop into your favorite frame. Each print is also
individually wrapped in a clear plastic sleeve, to protect it during shipping and handling.
A label describing each print is also affixed to the foam core backing.
Simple Framing
Although we primarily offer matting only for each of our items, very simple framing is
available for any photograph on the site.
At this time, we only offer a simple, black metal frame, which is 7/8" wide on each side.
The frame will come with a single, acid-free mat, in your choice of color
(see mat color guide), plexiglass and acid free foam core backing. The
piece will arrive, fully assembled (including wire for hanging), and ready for display on your
wall.
To order a photo in with a single mat, and black frame, simple select a "Photograph (with Mat & Frame)" option, in any size, from the drop down menu on any photograph's information page, then select your mat color.
Custom Orders
If you have a selection of photos you'd like to have matted/framed together, or perhaps simply a specific mat color or frame style in mind that you do not see offered, please don't hesistate to e-mail us with the specifics (photo, size, mat color or sample, frame type/size). We will be glad to look into custom designing something for you.
Once we find what you are looking for, we'll send a quote in the form of an invoice, along with samples, in the form of digital image files.
