What if I want to purchase some?
Of course you can purchase whatever you wish off of our Collector's Series Price List. Images may be shown immediately following your portrait session (by appointment only) or can be put online for you and your family to view and order from home. Images only remain online until April 12 so please make any selections during that time, as re-uploading them will incur a $50 fee.
How do I get votes?
The best way to get votes is to tell EVERYONE YOU KNOW to become a Facebook Fan of Artistic Images and vote by commenting on
YOUR CHILD's image.
Not on Facebook? Go to the E-Blog and vote by commenting on
YOUR CHILD's image.
Votes count ONLY when they are from different people(different facebook accts and/or email addresses)...EX: you, your husband, your mom and your aunt can all vote and each vote will count. YOU can NOT vote 53 times :)
The more friends, acquaintances, coworkers, etc that you know the more votes you will get!
PLUS...the fact that Artistic Images already has a lot of fans and Elizabeth has a lot of friends, people that you don't even know will also vote for your child's image.

So, it is simple
