In fargo it was Rice Photography, now in colodrado she is under the name studio 701. I know she is doing alot with pagents now. She has told the other photographer that shot with her(who is still in fargo) that we never paid her in full. My husband paid her with pay pal and has every reciept. If i had a sign contract and didn't get paid in full i would be going after them for the rest of my money. She has never told us that we still owe her money. I know before she moved her husband was deployed and he was her second photographer. She had asked me to shoot with her. I am very glad i didn't and instead started my own business. It definately makes me strive to do better business.

Thanks for the heads up. Will have to keep an eye out for them.

What is a reasonable turn around time for album production, from the time we give writtern approval on the album until we get it. They are telling me 8 to 12 weeks is average but it could take as long as 15 weeks. This is a 30 page 72 image album and believe me its not that fancy.

really depends on who they go with for album production. 8 - 12 weeks seems excessive to me. we normally would quote 4-8 weeks once we submit the order for the album.
