IMPORTANT: Introductory pricing will remain in effect through May 31. Your session fee deposits can be credited to your order if you order by June 15. So be sure to order soon.

A few of things to note, especially if this is your first time with us:

1. All purchased photos will be polished, including optimizing the cropping, color, and exposure. Temporary skin blemishes (scratches, zits, bruises) will also be removed when they can be clearly seen.

2. There are three main item categories available for purchase: prints, books, and digital files:

A. Prints: you’ll have the option to have the print mounted to a sturdier matte backing board. I recommend this for print sizes 11×14 and bigger, and it’s nice to have for 8x10s. Low resolution digital images for social media use are included with each purchased print.

B. Books: Now that we’re doing sales online, books are a bit of a pain. Books must contain 20 images (18 inside, 1 for the back, 1 for the cover), and each image starts at $14 (for the 7×7 book), so the smallest book starts at $280. You should select the front and back cover options for the photos you want. So to order a book, you have to individually order each photo you want included as a book page. That can be a bit cumbersome, so you could mark your 20 favorites (with the little heart icon next to each photo), and then send me a text when you’re done so we can take care of the details that way. Either way, I’ll contact you about the title page for the book before I send it off to print. Low resolution digital images for social media use are included with each photo in the book.

C. Digital Files: you would select this if you want to order as many of your own prints as you’d like from a third party vendor (I recommend MPix.com), or just like to have these things for posterity, using the polished high resolution JPEG file. If you only want digital files for posting on FB or IG, be aware that lower resolution social media files with my logo in the bottom right corner are included with whatever item you purchase. The more digital files you purchase, the less expensive they become. They start at $60 each, and go down to $50 at 5, $40 at 10, and $30 at 20. Example: 4 digital files would cost $240, 5 digital files would cost $250. Note that if you choose 8 images, you might as well choose 10 since the pricing would be the same. These discounts are shown at the subtotal area of your shopping cart. NOTE: It takes time to polish up the files, so please ignore the download link that you’ll see in the email receipt. I’ll let you know when they’re ready.

3. Don’t forget to apply your booking deposit credits near the very end of the checkout process. You will see these as long as you’re logged into your Mike Nyman Photography account. If you run into any problems, please call or text 508-414-1656.
