How long does an order take?

Prints are made to order by NMFA. Allow about 14 business days for ChromaLuxe metal, 18 for TruLife acrylic, 28 for framed acrylic, and 10 for fine art paper, for production and delivery. Each photo page shows the lead time beside the medium. Everything ships with tracking.

Can I request faster delivery?

Ask us before ordering if you need a particular date. We'll tell you whether it's possible; rush production needs confirmation.

Do you ship outside the US?

We ship within the US. For Canada, write to us for a quote; shipping is quoted at cost before you pay. We don't ship anywhere else for now.

What if it arrives damaged?

Contact us promptly with photos of the print, outer and inner packaging, and shipping label. Keep the print and packaging until we confirm next steps. We replace damaged or defective prints at no cost.

Can I get a size that isn't listed?

Ask. Each photo is only sold at sizes that hold detail at viewing distance, but we can tell you honestly whether the file holds up at the size you have in mind.

Which medium should I pick?

ChromaLuxe metal for night skies and deep blacks, and the toughest for a busy room. Anti-glare TruLife acrylic for the wall that gets the light. Fine art paper if you want to frame it yourself. The print guide has the full comparison, and the room preview on every photo page is scaled to true size.

Are the prints signed?

At checkout, choose whether to include a printed artist signature in the photograph at no charge. We review its placement for each photo and print size, and the lab ships directly to you. For hand signing, contact us before ordering; allow about eight additional business days for shipping through Utah, signing and repacking, before final delivery. Limited editions are numbered.

What does "limited edition" mean here?

A fixed number of prints of that frame across all sizes, numbered. Open editions are not numbered. Each photo page says which it is.

How much editing do you do?

As much as it takes to make the file look like the place we stood in, and no more. Most of our night frames are single exposures. A few are stacked, or combine moments from one night's timelapse, from the same spot on the same night, and the caption says so. We don't add skies, stars, or ridgelines we didn't photograph. More on the How we work page.

Do you license images?

Yes, for editorial and commercial use. Contact us with the image and the use. Licensing, and what a print includes.

Can I return a print?

Prints are made to order, so we can't take returns for a change of mind. If one arrives damaged or has a defect, we replace it at no cost. If something else isn't right, write to us and we'll see what we can do.

What does it cost to visit the parks in your photos?

Entry at the national parks we photograph is $20 to $35 per vehicle, except Great Basin, which has no entrance fee. The $80 America the Beautiful annual pass covers entry at all of them. Non-US residents pay an extra $100 per person at Bryce Canyon, Glacier, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Yosemite and Zion, unless they hold an annual pass. National park passes and fees, park by park.
