You need to know this…

I can assist in your specific in-house software needs for digital image viewing and handling, and will consult with you about any digital image issue you might have. I’m here to help!

And don’t forget to read the fine print…

  • This is my 32nd year as the sole proprietor of Peplin Photographic. I have the expertise to handle virtually any situation with a flexible and creative approach to on-site issues that can arise.
  • I have always maintained a secure file system for my negatives, and now your digital images are backed up and securely archived. I keep them forever, or until I die, whichever comes first.
  • Normal turnaround time is 24 hours or less, but I do strive to meet any deadline, no matter how ridiculous. Really. And I won’t complain about it, either. It’s just what I do.
  • Rush charges may occasionally apply if image processing or enlargements are needed the same day as the shoot, or if after-hours production is necessary to meet your deadline. Advance notice is recommended and appreciated.
  • If my total travel time to the shoot location is less than 45 minutes, the hourly travel charge is waived, and a $.85 per mile rate will be charged instead.
  • Your satisfaction is absolutely guaranteed, or the job will not be invoiced.
  • These rates are firm, not negotiable, no exceptions.
  • (Unless you’re family).
