Do you remember the days when "the customer was always right"? Well, somehow in the technological revolution of the late 20th Century that philosophy was replaced with "the almighty dollar is always right." We at Doe Photography believe that it is not too late to get back to the days when businesses listened to their customers. We understand that people don't like to be tricked into buying something they don't want, and then get the run around trying to get a refund. At Doe Photography, we will make every effort to ensure that what you expect is exactly what you get!

And we would like to tell you exactly what you can expect from us!

1) Quality Photographs: We make every effort to ensure our products meet our high standard for resolution, color saturation and quality.

2) 30-day Money Back Guarantee! We will give you a 100% refund if you are not satisfied for any reason with our product! Simply send back your product within 30 days, and we will send back your money.

3) FREE SHIPPING! We've all seen the ads. The product is $12.95 and the Shipping and Handling charges are $9.95. Who are they kidding? That's what we call deceptive advertising, and you'll see none of it here!

4) We will make every effort to ship your products as soon as possible.

5) Low prices. We actively monitor our competition to assure that our prices remain at or below any photographer who offers our same quality.
