Terms of Service
SESSION PROOFS:
Client will then receive access to an online photo viewing gallery. Here you can order prints and products from our trusted pro lab and delivered right to your door. Depending on package options, images may be available for high resolution download with print release. Photographer retains the right to edit the photographs as he sees fit based on experience and expertise and omit any image(s) that do not meet his standards.
Client understands that by entering into this agreement, Photographer is foregoing other photographic jobs. In the event of a cancellation of the portrait session/agreement by Client, retainer fees are non-refundable. Deposits are transferable if a date change is necessary. Forty-eight hours (48) notice of postponements or cancellations is appreciated. If it is not possible for a session to take place on a scheduled day due to weather, Photographer and Client will reschedule on an agreed date at the earliest date possible, with no additional charge. Photographer reserves the right to reschedule due to illness, weather, equipment malfunction, or other circumstances beyond their control.
Photographer is not responsible if Client and/or key individuals fail to appear orcooperate during portrait sessions, or for missed images due to details not revealed to Photographer. Photographer’s camera is the only camera allowed at the photo session because of the distraction it causes, especially to small children, which hinders Photographer’s ability to obtain quality shots. If Client and/or key individuals fail to appear to a scheduled portrait session, the session fee is non-refundable. The session can be rescheduled at the original session fee, including an additional 25% reschedule fee.
In the unlikely event that Client is completely dissatisfied with the final results, Photographer willreshoot the session at no additional charge one time. Re-shoots are determined at the discretion of the photographer. Re-shoots will not be offered for poor choices in clothing, make-up, hair, weather related and behavioral issues or events that are beyond Photographer's control.
