These are your terms and conditions. Read them very carefully. *No changes shall be made to this agreement by client. By completing and submitting this form, you are agreeing to all terms and conditions**
*
A. Session Fees
Client agrees to pay photographer the entire session amount at the time of booking to secure their appointment date and time. The session fee covers the time and talent of photographer, basic retouching and creative editing of images, as determined by the photographer, and images (amount depending on session) to be stored. Additional editing is available at additional expense to be determined by photographer.
B. Location Costs & Fees
If there are any costs/fees associated with the location the client has chosen for their session, you, the client, will be responsible for those fees. The photographer will not guarantee or arrange payment on any location. Creative fee covers travel within 60 miles of Brunswick, GA. Any location outside of these limits will be subject to an additional charge of $2/mile as part of the agreement. Photographer lodging is also the responsibility of the client.
C. Rescheduling
It is strongly recommended client arrives 15-20 minutes prior to session for any preparations so that it doesn't interfere with shooting time. Shooting starts exactly when was scheduled and time will not be made up for in instances when client is late - it is simply time deducted from client's allotted session. No refunds will be issued in instances of client being late. No refunds will be issued in instances where client is a no-show. Rescheduling is made at the discretion of the photographer, given photographer's schedule permits. If an illness or situation prevents a photo session from taking place, client may reschedule their session at least 24 hours prior to their shoot without penalty. Should client fail to give 24 hours notice, or decide to completely cancel the shoot, this session fee is forfeited and will not be refunded. Photographer reserves the right to reschedule due to illness, weather, equipment malfunction, or other circumstances beyond their control.
D. Re-shoots / Refunds
Re-shoots are determined only at the discretion of the photographer and will not be given for poor choices of product selection or by not following the recommendations of the photographer. Your photographs are a part of the package you have selected. Once the session has taken place, no refunds will be given as your fee covers the actual session, travel time (if any), editing, and storage of photos. If your total session is less than $250, the entire session fee is due at the time of booking. This is your deposit and applies to the session fee. If you have made payment arrangements with the photographer/if your session is more than $250, a $250 deposit will need to be placed at the time of booking. All deposits are non-refundable from the time of booking.
E. Archive
After 6 months all photos will be purged from photographer’s hard-drive, except as needed for promotional purposes, to be determined by photographer at photographer’s sole discretion. Photographer is not responsible for loss or damage to the digital files due to circumstances beyond photographer’s control.
F. Payment
All payments are due in full upon booking unless payment arrangements have been made. (See D.) Orders will not be processed and sessions will not be booked until payment in full is received. If client has arranged a payment plan, order will be placed after the final payment has been received.
G. Damage
Photographer is not responsible for the damage of photographs after delivery to client, including damage caused during transit by US mail. Client assumes all responsibility for the safety of all portraits upon receipt.
