Commission Procedure
A photo session of less than one hour will be held at the client’s convenience. Rick Bayers will then review the photographs with the client and suggest a composition and size. A photo provided from the client may be considered, depending on the quality. A due date will be set for the portrait.

Price/Payment
Pricing varies on size of painting, and complexity of subject matter(s)/background details. A 50% deposit is required when the portrait recommendation is approved by the client. The balance is due upon completion and acceptance.

Guarantee
The portrait is guaranteed to represent the likeness in the photographs chosen; therefore, the photos are of utmost importance. If there are no satisfactory photos obtained from the photography session, the client may request an additional session at no additional charge. The client may also provide photos to the artist for the portrait for additional reference.

Travel
Out of State travel expenses from St. Louis will be paid by the client.
