Thank you for your patronage over the past several years as Erica and I have worked to rebuild this department to provide for your poster printing and portrait photography needs. This past year has been especially difficult—while we are grateful for the increase demand, our limited staffing has hindered our ability to meet that demand and provide you with the quality service that you have been accustomed to in the past.
Our department of two will be limited to one staff member for Winter, Spring and Summer quarter for 2025. Erica is slated to return by mid-Summer 2025. As this will become a one-person shop until then, we are making some immediate changes now to ensure we have a clean slate going into the new year.
Adjustments to photography services.
To keep up with demand in the new year, we will be reducing some of our retouch services in exchange for expedience. We will have portrait slots available on Fridays ONLY. Unfortunately, I will have little available time outside of that day for portraits, so please plan accordingly.
We will be temporarily shutting down the group portraits form as the large influx of portraits creates a bottleneck which slows down the editing process. We will also not be accepting any on-location requests until further notice. Whole body/grid photography services will be discontinued indefinitely as we no longer have the time or staff to accommodate this specialized service.
If you have any questions regarding portrait appointments, please reach out to uwphotos@uw.edu. If you have any comments regarding these changes, you may reach out to Jason Lindahl (jlindahl@uw.edu). Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
Kari
