As an artist, Tamara Tigner wishes to have complete control over the final look of her client's images, and scanned images damage her reputation as a photographer by distorting and devaluing the image quality.

Thank you for respecting Tamara Tigner’s work and livelihood by choosing not to reproduce her images.

Print Orders: Print orders must be made and paid in full at the preview session.. For those previewing online, your online gallery expires within one week. It is highly recommended that you make your purchasing decisions within this time frame. If you would like to re-publish your gallery, there is a $25 fee.

Before Your Session: Please have your children dressed, and ready to go for their session. This includes hair combing, and having their faces clean. Children are more likely to become grouchy if they are fussed with too much before the session.

Final Prints: Your final print order will be delivered approximately 2-3 weeks after your previewing session. Canvases and painted portraits may take up to 4-6 weeks. Tamara Tigner will contact you by phone in order to set up a convenient time for your images to be delivered.

Portrait Care: Handle your portraits with extreme care. Damage incurred as a result of improper handling, framing or hanging is the responsibility of the client.
