Moments matter. Let’s make them memorable.

To download our images at the highest quality, you will want to open the album, go to your chosen picture, and hit the download button in the top right corner (Arrow pointing down button).

Your best option will typically be to download the FULL JPG option and then save the downloaded photo from your safari or browser downloads folder to your phone or computer directly. If you download to computer, upload the files to google drive and download it to your phone from there (READ posting instructions too).

(If you screenshot there will be a noticeable drop in quality; and seemingly if you save straight to photos as well— download FULL JPG first, then save it off of that download). Be sure to tag us in your posts and any public use of our media.

Any commercial or non-personal use of our photos must be approved by us in writing.

Specifically for instagram, these steps usually result in the best quality photo post:

1) Be sure you’ve enabled High Quality Media Uploads in your Instagram settings.

2) Select the photos you would like to post.

3) Make sure if they are different aspect ratios you enable mixed photo ratios pre-post to avoid awkward cropping. (It looks like a box you can click on in pre-post).

4) Select each photo individually in the pre-post editing section (on instagram, not in your photo album) and raise sharpness from 0 to 50-100 for best display. (If you don’t do this photos will come out blurry).

5) Don’t add a filter please. We edit our photos in-house and a filter can drop the quality. Also, you can add music to a picture in a story, but it will lower the photo quality, don’t ask me why.

6) Tag us in your post! It helps us get exposure so we can keep producing great content! @Kairoscutups on Instagram, or link our website in all other media usage (Seriously though, tag us if you use our work).

7) Be sure you have a good internet connection and post it to your feed!

8) If you like the photos and want to pay me back, buy me a coffee, purchase one of our other photography servies or join me at Church (Swan Lake Evangelical Free Church in Cottonwood!).

I batch edit all of the photos I take, meaning I find a couple of rough parameters that improve the photos in certain lighting and then apply them to other photos in that light range.

Yes, we can edit specific photos, and usually they will look much better when I take time to edit them individually. However, this is a big time sink for me (I have a full time job, a wife, a child, and two dogs)! If you would like a specific photo edited we have an option on this site where you can request that at a rate of ($5 per edited photo).

It costs money solely because of the time sink necessary for good editing.

Unfortunately we can’t capture every moment! But we try. I’ll probably be out to your sport again soon. If you would like a photo, make sure I know what number you are, and chat with me about it beforehand.

Yes! Either:

1) Purchase one of the other options on the site.

2) Use the donate tab to buy me a coffee!

3) Tag us in your post! It helps us get exposure so we can keep working!

4) I’m a pastor in Cottonwood, so come to Church on Sundays and we’ll call it even!
