Seniors
SearcySports will give any Senior (high school) athlete from Searcy, Harding Academy, Bald Knob, Beebe, Riverview and Rose Bud a FREE 8x10 print of their choice (from games which we have photographed). In order to receive the free print you must meet  ALL  of the requirements listed below:
  • You MUST have ordered from SearcySports at least once during the current season. THIS IS A MUST!!!
  • Be a Senior
  • Limited to only one photo regardless of the number of sports played.
  • Be from one of the above schools
  • Email us requesting the photo
  • Limit 1 PER athlete
  • Request BEFORE the end of the season and before the galleries have been removed from SearcySports.
  • Request MUST originate from the athlete or the athlete's parents. No exceptions!
Yearbook Photos
SearcySports always makes their images available for use for ANY school that we have shot photos
of their event. However, due to the overwhelming response we have received from the various schools, we have had to make the following changes:
  • Images will be sent to the school ONLY when contacted by the  Yearbook advisor. We will only correspond with the yearbook advisor. We will not correspond with students or parents...ONLY the yearbook advisor.
  • We will provide 10 images per sport. For example, basketball is a sport, football is a sport, baseball is a sport, etc.
  • You MUST give us 3-4 weeks to process your request...do NOT wait till the last minute to request the photos...we may not be able to accommodate your rush request.
  • PRINTS will be provided rather than images.
  • Photo credit will be given to SearcySports
  • A copy of the yearbook (or publication) will be sent to SearcySports.
  • Schools that use images for purposes other than the yearbook will no longer be eligible to receive photos from us.
Reposting Photos
In the past,  SearcySports has reposted galleries on demand, however, due to the OVERWHELMING number of photos we take, this has almost  become an impossible thing to do...especially galleries that are over a year old. Keep in mind that most galleries when expired have already been online for over 6 weeks. Normally, we have any new galleries posted within 48 hours after shooting an event (usually we even have them posted sooner than that).
 
At this time, we will no longer be able to repost galleries.
We are sorry for this inconvenience, however we have to try and make enough room for ALL galleries to remain online for an appropriate amount of time.
 
In the course of a year, we take over 300,000 photos at our local events. Keeping up with and cataloging this number of photos is a huge task. We do keep all photos we take, but to find a single photo or a small order is tedious.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Ordering Information
When will I receive my photos?
Generally, we process photos once a week (sometimes twice during busy times), which means your order can take as long as 4 weeks.
Why does it take so long to get my photos and will you forget me?
Due to the number of orders we receive and the number of events we cover, we are only able to process orders once a week, and by the time we get them back from our professional lab and mail them out...it is usually close to 2-3 weeks. Will we forget you...absolutely not. If you got a confirmation email, then your order should be received within 3 weeks. If you do not receive your order within 3 weeks, please email us and let us know. We want you to be a happy customer!
Can I use my credit card for purchases?
Yes, Visa/MasterCard and Discover are honored along with PayPal payments. We also have an authorized retailer called 2Checkout (2CO), where you can make SECURE credit card purchases.
What other types of payments do you accept then?
At this time, we accept personal/business checks, money orders and cash (of course) for mail in orders.
I ordered from more than one gallery, why do I have to fill out separate order forms and will I be charged more than once for shipping?
We have ELIMINATED shipping costs to you for this very reason. At the present time,  our shopping cart does not have the ability to consolidate orders, however that feature is on a wishlist with our programmer, regardless though, you will not be charged ANY shipping charges for ANY order.
What happens after I place my order?
On Credit Card and PayPal orders you should receive an email indicating your credit card or PayPal account has been charged...this indicates a successful order. If you want to mail your order in to us, after clicking the submit button, you will see a confirmation page indicating you will be getting an email that will be your order form. This order form is to be mailed in with your payment to us and at that time we will process your order.
My Order is over $100.00, what now?
We will give discounts on orders over $100.00 (10%) and also over $200.00 (20%) whenever you order from us. In those cases where we have more than once photographer covering an event, we will honor those orders from one or more photographers which ADD up to the discount levels.
Will my photos look better than what I see on the website?
Yes! Most of the photos you view on the website have NOT been optimized for prints. Once we receive an order, your photos will be edited for color and clarity as well as cropping when indicated.
Are all photos of the same quality?
Unfortunately not. While we at SearcySports strive to provide the best quality photos to you the customer, sometimes due conditions (night games or low light situations), some photos may appear grainy when enlarged. The only reason we offer a this type of photo is because it is usually much better than most parents and/or friends can shoot, and you the customer would rather have photos that are more about memories than about perfect photos. Again, if you are not totally satisfied with our quality, please return your photos for a COMPLETE refund including postage. We think you'll be impressed with most all of our photos.
I don't want a print...I want a digital file?
Normally we don't offer the digital files. We care about how a photo looks and can only be responsible for those photos when we are the only ones handling the digital files. IF you are insistent on a digital file, (and they are very expensive), you can email us for a quote, but be prepared for pricing in the $25-$45 range for EACH photo depending on the size of the image.
I did not receive my photos 1?
We do not process orders unless we have all contact information, including a WORKING EMAIL address and phone. If your email or phone is incorrect, we will not process the order. You should receive a confirmation of payment or a order form after every order.
I did not receive my photos 2?
Email us and tell us when you ordered your photos. We will track and verify your order, and replace it if
necessary.
