Upon payment, the Photographer will reserve the time and date agreed upon by both parties exclusively for you.

Your non refundable session fee retainer is due at the time of booking to secure your date. The full amount and any agreed upon additional travel fees or costs relating to the photo session must be paid to secure your date. No services will be made until full payment of the retainer / session fee is made.

Rescheduling/Late Arrival:

In the case of illness or other need to reschedule your session, there is no extra charge for moving a session once, if you have given at least 24 hours notice.

If for any reason you, your baby, children, or any member of your household is sick or unwell, please call to reschedule your session. No person feeling unwell will be admitted to the studio. We understand life happens and will always do our best to reschedule your session as appropriate.

If you need to reschedule for reasons of sickness, the price quoted at the time of booking will be honoured for 6 months only. After this time, any pricing increase will be applicable. If you need to reschedule your session and do not book in a future date, you will have a credit for funds paid, however any price changes will apply immediately. Any future rescheduling is subject to the availability of the Photographer.

Any Client who is late arriving to their session will have the remaining amount of time allotted for the session. All additional time beyond the scheduled end time will be at the Photographer’s discretion.

Prices are subject to change without notice and are non-negotiable. Prices at the time of your session are guaranteed for 30 days after your session.

Cancellation:

If the Client cancels this agreement less than 24 hours prior to the date of the photo session, or fails to show for a session, the Client forfeits all payments made to the photographer.

No refunds will apply to cancelled sessions. If for some reason you cancel your session or are a ‘no show’ without notice or prior attempt to reschedule, you forfeit your session fee.

No refunds will apply to pre-purchased gift vouchers under any circumstances.

Due to the custom nature of photography, strictly no refunds on either your session deposit, or your order total will be issued once the session has been held. This includes any prepayment of any funds that occur before the booked session itself.
