FAQs
Where to begin?
Contact Less is Maura (see form below). You will receive instructions on how to make a $50 deposit to reserve your spot, then fill out a form to tell us basic information. For follow-up questions on our side or yours, a complimentary 15-minute consultation will then take place.
What if Less is Maura is booked for the season?
By purchasing a $50 gift card (i.e. make a deposit), you reserve a spot for the upcoming season.
My kid art collection is mountainous and overwhelming!
Fear not. If you cannot decide and/ or do not have the capacity to pair down the pieces, you can choose an Add-On wherein Less is Maura will come to you and help curate the collection.
How do I choose which ones go in the album?
This is an individual choice that Maura will help you evaluate in the consultation. If you have a lifetime collection - and depending on your goals, your child’s interest level, and your collection - Less is Maura will design as many albums as you want. If you have a burgeoning Picasso, perhaps you want an album a year. If art isn’t a huge part of your child’s life, but the pieces speak to memories worth cherishing, perhaps we create an early childhood album, then an elementary album. Together, we will find the right solution for you, the memory-maker.
What if I want an album a year?
We encourage that. Returning customers will get preferential treatment. I, too, have a commitment to making memories last and creating collections that curate memories beautifully, and that eliminate clutter.
What if I have a young child but want to begin before the collection gets out of hand?
Then you are a person after my own heart! Let’s avoid the clutter and begin working together now.
I want more than just 21-30 pieces in my album!
Ok! Less is Maura can accommodate. This Add-On will increase the price due to time spent photographing and editing additional pieces, as well as a larger album (more pages) to order.
Can you digitize ALL the artwork, but then just put the best pieces in the album?
Yes! That add-on will be the Basic Package + my hourly rate, so your final price will vary depending on the size of the collection.
Can I see the album before it’s ordered?
Absolutely! In fact, reviewing the digital version of the album is an essential step in the process. Once Less is Maura creates the album, you will receive a link to the digital copy before it is ordered. Less is Maura will tend to your edits before placing the order. Communication is key to success in all things, including The Emerging Artist’s Album.
What happens with the physical art after the album creation?
That is for you to decide! But if you’re asking what I would do? I would declutter. After all, less is more.
