TERMS OF USE

The purpose of this site is to show examples of the types of photography we are capable of providing. The use of this site is for prospective photography clients to views samples and select the kind of photos they want from this studio. Any other use is expressly forbidden and your only recourse of action is to discontinue use immediately.

DISCRETION

All photography assignments and opportunities shall be undertaken at the sole discretion of the photographer based on availability and personal taste. We reserve the right to refuse service for any reason.

RETAINER

All photography assignments and bookings shall require an up front retainer to secure photographic services. As a client, your retainer guarantees our availability and that another event will not be booked in your place. Without a retainer, no binding agreement guaranteeing service is in place and another opportunity may eclipse your desired shoot time. In no case shall the photographer, company, associates, subcontractors and so forth be held liable in any way for the client’s failure to understand and comply with this Terms of Retainer.

Unless otherwise specifically stated, the retainer shall be 1/2 the total cost and no less than $100.00 USD. This non-refundable retainer remains the photographer’s should you cancel, change or otherwise not complete the photographic session for any reason.

RESCHEDULING

If you need to reschedule your agreed upon photo session, and give more than 2 weeks notice, your rescheduling fee is your retainer minus $50. If you reschedule with less than 2 weeks notice, your rescheduling fee is equal to your retainer. Please understand that when you reschedule a time we have already reserved for you, we have turned away business that we cannot re-book so as to guarantee that your time is your’s alone. Our rescheduling fee helps recoup a fraction of that lost business. We are a busy studio but will accommodate your rescheduling needs to the very best of our ability.

CANCELING

If you need to cancel for any reason the terms are as follows: Cancelations with two weeks in advance notice of our date will be refunded what you’ve paid in advance minus the retainer (as stated above). Cancellations less than 2 weeks notice will be refunded half of what you’ve paid in advance, minus the retainer. Cancellations within 24 hours notice of end time of our scheduled photo shoot are not entitled to any refund. You’ve tied up valuable time that I could have otherwise used to serve other paying clients who follow through on their commitments.

Unless stated otherwise,  *verbally or in writing) subject shall assume their photos come with “unlimited reproduction rights” to the client of the images taken on the client’s behalf. “Unlimited reproduction rights” means you may make your own photographic prints at any photo lab, in any size, and in any quantity -- both now and into the future.
