Terms of Service

Retainer and Cancellation Policy

The retainer must be paid in full at the time of booking if required. Retainer secures the time and services of the Photographer for the sitting and is non-refundable in the event of cancellation, but is transferrable to sittings that are rescheduled due to inclement weather or Act of God to a later date on which the Photographer is available.

Sessions rescheduled or canceled less than 48 hours in advance are subject to a $50 cancelation fee. No-shows are responsible for the full cost of the session.

Balance of any fees due is to be paid on or before the date of the sitting. No photographs will be delivered until all payments due have been paid in full. Payment for additional images and albums is to be made when they are ordered.

Scheduling Policy

The photographer guarantees availability during the official time booked for the sitting, either booked through Acuity or detailed in client contract. Additional time may be added for an additional hourly fee at the sole discretion of the photographer.
