The picture is fitted to the vase by tucking its corners into the custom shaped holders, and can be changed anytime in the future. I have a laminator and will laminate a photo for you and fit it to the vase at no extra charge. You can either send me a photo through the regular mail, or e-mail me a digital pic which I can then print out and laminate. Sometimes, a photo must be trimmed slightly in order to fit it to the space on the pot. If your photo isn't that great, we can digitally edit it for you (or jazz it up like I did to the picture of Alonzo's urn, adding brown spots to the background for effect). There is a space on the order form where you can check this free option if you are interested. Adding a photo mount to an urn adds $50 to the price.
