Will past sitting/albums be saved with this Archival Service purchase?
All sittings photographed up to 90 days before your Archival Service purchase will also be saved after you claim them online.
Will all my sittings/albums be archived if I go to different studios?
To ensure that your sittings are archived, visit the same studio and use the same Guest name under which the Archival Service was purchased. If you do not, you must claim your sitting/album online within 90 days of the sitting or it will not be included in your archived albums.

To ensure that your sittings are archived together, visit the same studio and use the same Guest name under which the Archival Service was purchased.
Why do the albums in my account have different expiration dates?
All sittings/albums are archived for 90 days or until the end of your Archival Service term, whichever is longer.
What is the difference between the Archival Service and Images CD?
Archival Service: We will store your sittings/albums beyond the standard 90 days. You continue to have access to low-resolution images to view, share, create and order products during the Archival Service term.
Images CD: You purchase a CD containing high-resolution images from your sitting giving you the rights to use the high-resolution images.
What happens to my Archival Service if I move to another city?
Your archived sittings/albums will be accessible online for the entire Archival Service Term. If you do not visit the same studio, you must claim your sitting/album online within 90 days of the sitting or it will not be included in your archived albums.
My sitting/album has expired because it was taken more than 90 days ago; may I still purchase the Archival Service for that sitting/album?
