Prints
By Donation
What does that even mean, you ask?
It means I want you to be able to enjoy my photography if you believe it would be a blessing for you or a friend or relative or business, etc., without feeling like it’s beyond your financial reach.
Why do I do this? Because I think God’s creation is enchanting, and I don’t think these amazing places are meant to be hidden away.
Here's How It Works:
-
Choose Your Favorite Photo(s)
Chose an image or images that you want to order (as a print, canvas wrap, metal print, mounted print, or other creative idea).
-
Contact Me
Email me with the name(s) of the photo(s) you want printed/mounted.
-
We Figure Out the Details
We work through the details of how you'd like the artwork to look.
-
"Base Cost"
Once we have that figured out, I'll let you know the "base cost." Meaning, how much it will cost to print and ship. This is based entirely on the print shop's costs (Mpix, Bay Photo, Nations Photo Lab, etc.). I make no profit on the base cost.
-
Suggested Donation Amount
Next, I share the suggested donation amount. This is a suggested amount above and beyond the base cost. It's my profit; it's what helps me keep doing what I do for you and others (and helps me put a bit of food on the table).
-
What Can You Afford?
If you can't meet the donation price, then let me know what you can afford, and we'll work it out.

Disclaimer
I do reserve the right to say no, but that's not my heart. I want God's creation to be a blessing to you, so I truly want to work out something that works for both of us!
Example Scenario
Let’s say you want a 20×30 canvas wrap of a photo for your wall. At Costco (they do a great job with canvas wraps) it would cost $57.99 + $4.49 in taxes. Shipping (if you can’t pick it up at a store) is an additional $5.99. These are all part of the “base cost,” which totals $68.47.
My suggested donation would be $100, for a total of $168.47.
At first glance a suggested donation might seem like a lot, but if you compare the overall prices of quality landscape photography prints. you’ll find it to be worthwhile.
But again, offer what you can, and I’ll try to make it happen!
Help Someone Else
If you feel led, you can even give more than the suggested amount, which will, in turn, help others who can’t afford it!
The bottom line is: trust is the name of the game. Like a good, old-fashioned handshake. Make sense?

PrinT Quality
- All prints, canvas wraps, and customized orders are entrusted to top-of-the-line photo labs.
- Currently, I use Nations Photo Lab, Bay Photo Lab, Pro DPI, or Mpix depending on what is ordered to try to find the best balance of quality and cost.
- I'll work with you to make sure you are getting what you need and that it's worth it for you. I make sure to communicate with you throughout the process.
