Photography
Helen has a wide range of grayscale and color photograph images. For a long time, the only way to access those images on this site has been via her notecard gallery. However, we decided we should offer this page for more direct information about obtaining the photographs. Please contact us if you wish to purchase prints or notecards of Helen's photographs or request permission to use her images for publications or on a web site.

Enlargements:
You may order enlargements of Helen's photographs. They are printed at Pyle Photo Service, a family owned business with great attention to detail, in Ames. We can have the matting done at the Frame Shop in Ames with a signed, photo white mat or deliver your photographs unmatted. We have posted a price list; however, feel free to contact us for a quote.
E-Postcards:
Please visit our E-Postcard section if you wish to email Helen's photography to family, friends, and colleagues

Notecards
Most of the photographic images are available in a notecard format.

Retail outlets include:
Iowa Artisan's Gallery in Iowa City
Octagon Art Center in Ames
The Little Bookstore in Ames

Payment:
We prefer that you pay us by sending a check. We do not accept credit card payments. However, have a PayPal business account and could arrange for you to pay us via that account.

Photography Prices:
Some photographs do not fit the exact size ratios listed below; however, this list gives a good approximation of what the price will be. Please keep in mind that a small print is no less valuable than a large print in terms of the artist's eye, talent, and work in creating the image.

If we already have a photograph in our inventory, we may be able to offer you a slightly reduced price. And occasionally, we may post a list of images that we have had in inventory for awhile that should find a good home at a reduced rate.

Order fulfillment:
Ours is a small business with one staff person who is a generalist who doesn't devote herself full-time to filling notecard orders. Also, we don't keep huge inventories of photos on hand but go to Pyle Photo (an excellent family-owned photo-finisher in Ames) when we need to restock prints. The most efficient system for us is to accumulate orders for a month then take the time to focus on getting them assembled and mailed. However, there are times when we can act more promptly, and if you need immediate attention, please say so on your order.
