Questions, answered

Do I pay when I book online?

No. Booking reserves your time slot. You pay at your appointment by card, cash or check. Project packages take a 50% deposit at the kickoff.

Are my original photos safe with you?

Yes. Originals never leave our studio, are handled with cotton gloves, and are logged on intake and on return.

How do I follow my project's progress?

After your kickoff we give you a tracking code (like LHC-4821). Enter it on the Track Progress page any time to see every milestone and note.

Can we meet by video call?

Consultations, DNA interpretation and book design sessions can all happen by video. Drop-offs and interviews are best in person.
