FAQ
Can you work with a photo that I already have?
Absolutely! Most of the photos I use in commission work is of client family members.
Can you find a photo from a specific era or in a specific style?
Sure! I am able to source photos for commission clients upon request.
What is the timeline on your commission work?
Timeline for commission work depends on both the client’s requirements and my schedule. Most commission projects take 2-4 weeks to complete after an agreement is signed.
I accept commission requests on an on-going basis and schedule commission clients based on deposit. Details about commission policies, such as fees and deposits, are included below.
