National Child Identification Program

According to the National Child Identification Programhttp://www.childidprogram.com / more than 800,000 children in America go missing each year - one child every 40 seconds. In these trying times, it is essential to have an identification card containing your child’s pertinent information for their person and for you.

For example, what happens if your child gets lost in your neighborhood, at a grocery store, or a large shopping mall? Your child will have the ID card to be able to show a security guard or police. You will have a similar card to show authorities who are looking for your child. Time is of the essence!

I can provide you with photographs for your children’s National Child Identification Program ID kit. I do not charge you a sitting fee nor are there any fees or obligations for the photographs. As a parent and a grandparent, I offer this as a free public service.

Location

Using Shollenberger Park, in southeastern Petaluma, California with the wonderful pond backdrop, I can take portrait photographs that paint a picture, tell a story, or record an event. This 165-acre park has a variety of ponds, marsh vegetation and level paths - some paved some gravel- and a few benches and picnic tables. A loop trail extends 2 miles around the main dike. The wetlands are bordered in part by Adobe Creek and the Petaluma River.

I can take portraitures of your dog in the natural light and background of Rocky Memorial Dog Park, in southeastern Petaluma, California. Rocky Memorial Dog Park, located at the end of Casa Grande Road just off Lakeville Highway, is the largest in Sonoma County at nine acres. Your licensed dog can run leash-free in this dog park. This park’s entry is open to the road, and the parking area is not fenced off from the play area, so dogs should be under good voice control. The park is open from 6am to 9pm daily. There is water.

Scheduling a Session

To ensure availability, I recommend that you schedule your appointment several weeks in advance. A non-refundable retainer of at least 25% of the fee is required to hold your date. The balance of the fee, if any, is due prior to the beginning of the session.

If you are unable to keep your session appointment and notify me at least 48 hours before your session, I will be happy to reschedule the appointment and apply the retainer to the rescheduled session. If you are unable to notify me at least 48 hours prior to the original session time, a new retainer may be necessary to reschedule your appointment.

Galleries and Files

Your photos will be stored in a password-protected Stephen Bruno Photography online gallery for 3 months. You can order a variety of prints and merchandise from your images. Your family, friends and anyone else who you share your password with can also order prints and merchandise from your images. I save your images in a back up file on my computer for 6 months.

Prints

If purchased online, all images are printed at a professional lab renowned for color accuracy, print quality and consistency. The images are printed on premium archival paper, specifically designed for professional photography.

I use KODAK Endura (Lustre) and Edge (Glossy, Matte) exclusively for all of my online prints to ensure the most stable, fade-resistant color print material possible. KODAK Endura (Lustre) and Edge (Glossy, Matte) are 'archive quality' papers, designed to last for generations. This KODAK paper will last 100 years before noticeable fading occurs in a typical home display, and over 200 years in dark storage.

Mounting

You have several quality choices of printing and mounting of your prized photographs when purchased online at Stephen Bruno Photography.

Fotoflōt makes your gorgeous prints float off the wall without frames. The photo is professionally printed, mounted onto 1/8" acrylic and then laser trimmed and finished, leaving a gorgeous polished edge and a print that floats off the wall. Your images explode with color and detail. There are no frames and no matting. All you see is the photograph! this is my personal favorite
Hanging is a snap - literally. You just attach the mounting bracket to the wall using the included hardware, align the magnetic cups on the back of the print to the magnet discs on the mounting bracket, and - snap - your Fotoflōt print is mounted firmly in place. When you want to display a new photo, simply snap off one print from the mounting bracket and snap on another.

Another mounting option is a heavy-duty canvas stretched and wrapped over a wood frame, then coated with a satin clear coat for UV and water resistance.

Rolled canvas makes high-quality canvas prints more affordable by eliminating the wooden frame for mounting.

Custom designed merchandise imprinted with your cherished images.

In addition to the prints, you have the option to purchase merchandise including T-shirts, sweatshirts, mouse pad, mugs, coasters, and aprons with your favorite photographs. To see these options click this link. http://www.smugmug.com/prints/catalog2.mg

Once the order is complete and you have submitted your order, your prints will arrive at your door via the delivery method you select. It is that easy!

Processing and Shipping

Processing and printing typically takes 3-4 business days. You will receive a confirmation email when you order online, and an email letting you know the shipping status of your prints and merchandise. If you select “economy" shipping, it will be delivered by USPS First Class Mail and is not trackable.

Under certain circumstances, it can take up to two full weeks for your shipment to arrive. Currently, it has been a week or less for my clients. If you do not receive your order two full weeks after it shipped, please let me know! I will expedite the order.
