*Digital Files:

Verve offers digital files to meet a growing demand for social networking via the internet, email, and phone applications.  Digital files readability is guaranteed at the time of receipt.  Due to file degradation, quickly changing technology rendering some formats obsolete, and software requirements, I offer no continuing support beyond the product delivery.  The buyer is responsible for ensuring proper storage of the media and creating and keeping backup copies in a safe location.  Verve provides, for a nominal fee, an additional copy of the files on DVD for archival purposes if you are unable to make and maintain your own copy.

All Verve prints are offered on high-quality professional papers, coated for UV resistance and longevity.  Wall-sized prints are mounted to prevent warping.  Choosing to print digital files at a consumer lab may result in poor quality color saturation, contrast, clarity or depth of texture, and results that do not match my high quality standards.  For this reason, I highly recommend my clients purchase prints as they are archival quality and will bring the most joy over time.  Digital files are presented in a high-resolution JPEG format.  The buyer assumes responsibility for having appropriate software to view and use the files.  There is no guarantee of print quality if prints are purchased from any vendor other than Verve Life Portraits.
