Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, an appointment is required. To make an appointment, go to the “book now” button located at the top of this page.

First, schedule an appointment with us online. On the day of your appointment, we will photograph your iris using specialized macro photography lenses and lights. The shoot takes approximately 5 minutes per person. Afterwards, we will begin the editing process. We complete one individual high resolution iris image per person and verify it with you. We also offer couple or group edits. Finally, your iris edit or edits are done! You can choose to explore wall art options or enjoy the digital image.

Yes, we photograph children’s irises. It is hard for us to give a minimum age, but our experience suggests about 4 years. For a successful iris photo we need a few minutes of concentration and cooperation. You are probably the best person to judge whether this is possible with your child. Our tip: If the child shows interest and wants an iris photo for himself or herself, we can likely make it work.

Unfortunately, we are unable to photograph pets.

The photography portion itself takes approximately minutes. The turnaround time for your iris edits is a week. Wall art and other iris products are time relevant to the supplier. Rush service available.

The photographs we take of your eye cannot be used to access or replicate your identity. In addition, we combine elements of both of your irises to create a new representation that is uniquely yours but isn’t an exact replica of your eye.

We aim to create the best and most natural reproduction of your iris. There are subtle aspects of retouching in the editing process to remove light, flatten the image, and round out the pupil. If you purchase a design, there will be editing and retouching to create said design.

Absolutely! Everyone’s iris is beautiful and unique. All eyes have features that our iris photography is able to capture and showcase.
