Print Info, Pricing, and More
I decided that Print Information, Pricing, and a couple of other things needed a post of their own. I hope this post will answer any questions you may have. If there is something I do not answer in this post please feel free to email me at

Prints:
Prints come in several sizes. It all depends on your preference and what you intend to use the print(s) for. Most people order 4x6 sized prints. These are great for putting in albums, in frames on a desk, or mingled in with other framed pictures of different sizes to decorate your home. Some prefer 5x7 sized prints. The slightly larger size is used primarily for framing and used to decorate your home or office. While these are the most common, and economical, they are not the best sizes for framing to be placed on walls. 8x10 is a good starting place when considering prints to decorate the walls of your home or office. When considering prints for hanging on walls you need to decide what you want the finished wall to look like. There are several options and it is completely up to each individual and their preferences. For me personally I have two styles I like. The first is what I like to call the main focus type of wall. For example: In both my sister's and mother's living rooms is one wall dedicated to one picture each of my two nieces and my nephew. In both rooms each of the three pictures is sized 16x20. For some this size of picture is large and maybe a little too much. For me personally when you are wanting a small number of prints on a wall bigger has always proven to be better. If there is more than just pictures hanging on a wall the pictures can and probably should be smaller. My sister has a friend who along with her three sisters have provided their parents with 14 grandchildren...with a 15th on the way. Mandy's mother has one wall in her dining area dedicated to one picture each of her grandchildren. Of course with that many photos on one wall you can understand why the pictures are all 8x10. Anything larger would just not work. On the opposite side of that is anything smaller than 8x10 would just not big large enough for the intended purpose of showcasing one photo of each child. The second type of style I prefer is a wall that contains several photos of different sizes on the same wall. These framed photos usually range in size and include 5x7, 8x10, and maybe one or two11x14. In this type of layout 8x10 is going to be your primary size with a few of the 5x7 mixed in.
As I already stated most of you will be ordering 4x6 size prints, and maybe a few will want 5x7 or 8x10 also. I just want you all to know that if you decide you want a size larger than 8x10 I can and will be very happy to accommodate that request. Pricing for each size is listed a little farther down in this post.
All of the pictures on this blog are in color. I do offer Black and White of the majority of my pictures as another option. Please notice I stated this is an option on a majority of my images. Not all images look good in black and white. Things like lighting and the color of clothing can make or break a black and white photo. If you are interested in seeing if any of your images are available in black and white please let me know and I will be happy to see what I can do.
A new option I am offering is photo collages. There are two options here. The first is a simple collage that will contain several small images onto one image. A few examples are:
The second option I am now offering is a framed collage of your photos. Most collage frames are sized 11x14 or 16x20 and contain several images, usually all 4x6 in size. The number of images ranges depending on the size of frame. Usually most collage frames hold seven or more images. The frames I am looking at will hold 7-12 images, with photo mat, and a couple have both 4x6 and 5x7 sized prints. Pricing on both of these collage options are listed below.
Finally, I also offer what I call partial prints. What that means is that in the image you have a black and white background with certain parts of the image in color. A couple of examples:
If this is something you are interested in I just wanted to let you know it is available. The picture of the SNU flag is available. If you would like to purchase it please just let me know and I will be happy to include it in your order. Again...pricing is listed below.

Pricing
Someone once told me that pricing is one of the most important things. The photos I offer are not just snapped with a camera and ready to be printed. Each of these images has been edited to ensure the images you see are the best possible in quality. I have had some ask me if I believe the images are worth the prices I charge. My answer is yes. Photography is my passion. It is something I have loved doing since I first picked up a camera at the age of seven. If I never sell another picture I am OK with that. I do this for me more than I do it for anyone else. I never intended to offer my photos but enough people asked me to...and so I have. Any money I receive helps to offset my travel costs to away games and to help maintain and update my equipment. I do not just photograph softball games. I have photographed other sports, homecoming coronations, dance recitals, birthday parties, baby showers, days at the zoo, and any other activity my friends/family/anyone else would like to enjoy instead of spending their day behind a camera. Some other photographers charge much more than I do and I am not convinced their images are any better than mine. Some photographers charge a fee just to be at an event/game/etc before they even take a single picture. I have also had people tell me I do not charge enough for what I do. Again...I do this for me. The benefit is I can offer these images to you at what I feel is a reasonable price. If you are thinking of purchasing a large amount of photos but feel the cost is too great please do not hesitate to contact me and we can usually work on pricing.

All pictures listed on my blog do have a watermark attached. Any printed images or CD images will not have the watermark. I have to watermark posted images to prevent theft of images. Sad that it has to be that way, but I have had images show up on other blogs and Facebook that I did not give permission for them to be published.
How to Order:
How to Order:
Each picture has a number directly below the picture it corresponds to. Please use these numbers when you let me know which picture it is you want me to print for you. When you contact me to order you will need to know the folder and picture number. For example if you would like to order pictures 1 and 5 in the Misc. folder and 7 and 8 in the player folder (Smith in this example), when you contact me list the pictures as follows:
Your name
Your contact info (cell, email, etc.)
Misc Pics 1
Misc Pics 5
Smith 7
Smith 8
Once i receive your email I will respond that I have received your order and to let you know when your pictures will be ready. We can then decide how we can meet to deliver your pictures or if you would like them mailed to you. If you choose to have them mailed I will have to receive payment by mail for pictures + shipping cost before I print your pictures. I will be more than happy to work out a time and place to meet you if you will be within a 30 minute drive of OKC with no additional charge. Anything over 30 minutes can be arranged for an additional charge.
