• A 50% nonrefundable session retainer is required to book and hold your date and time.

• Your session is not placed on the calendar until the retainer has been received.

• All remaining balances are due before the end of the session. Images are delivered only after payment is made in full. Late payments will delay image delivery and incur a $50 late fee each day the payment is late.

• Payments are made securely through card via stripe or cash.

• If you need to reschedule, at least 72 hours notice is highly encouraged.

• Each client is allowed one reschedule unless otherwise discussed and approved in advance.

• If a session is rescheduled within 72 hours of the scheduled time, the retainer may be credited toward one future session. This credit can only be applied once and must be used within a reasonable timeframe.

• Cancellations or failure to show up without proper notice result in forfeiture of the retainer.

• If you are feeling unwell, please notify the photographer as soon as possible. Rescheduling due to illness is handled on a case-by-case basis. The health and safety of everyone in the studio is a priority.

Session time begins at the scheduled start time. Late arrivals may result in reduced shooting time. Additional time may be added if studio availability allows and will be billed accordingly.
