It seems really early to be posting holiday order deadlines but believe it or not, the year is flying by. The holidays are almost upon us. With the holiday madness right around the corner, this post covers upcoming deadlines for various services and products. I hope this helps you to schedule your pet and horse photography sessions and orders.
As we need to factor in editing time, as well as, the processing and shipping time for the labs see the following deadlines below. These are hard deadlines. I know this because I ordered a product from a lab that had a cutoff date of December 5th at 12:00 pm and they told me it would not arrive on January 7th as I placed the order at 12:01 pm. So, believe me when I say these are hard deadlines.
Please note: The following deadlines apply to both Equine Photography and Pet Photography orders.
Holiday Deadlines for Metal, Canvas, and Framed Print Wall Art Orders:
