Retainer and Payment. 

The client agrees to pay the photographer a retainer of 50% at the time of booking to secure their appointment date and time.  This is a nonrefundable retainer fee that goes toward your session. If there is a balance,  it is due at the time of the session.

Cancellation. 

No refunds will be given, but you may transfer your session to another party or use your credit on file for a future session. In case of inclement weather, the Client and Photographer must agree on a re-shoot date.

Session Punctuality:

Please make every effort to be at your session on time. Please know that if you are late, it will be docked from the time allotted. If you fail to show up during your scheduled appointment you will forfeit all money paid. *Session starts at the agreed-upon time. It is strongly encouraged that the client arrives 5-10 minutes prior to the start of the session. This allows for any last-minute feeding, changing, and relaxing before the session begins. Reschedules can be made for emergencies, weather, sickness, and unforeseen circumstances. Due to the nature of the booking process and because you have reserved that time slot, rescheduling fees of $30 are applied if changes are made within 1 week of the session date. Late arrivals will be treated on a case-by-case basis. Late arrivals are $30 after 20 minutes.
