SESSIONS
I currently offer four types of sessions: Newborn, Maternity, Baby Milestone, and Seniors. My studio is located in Grove Oak, AL near beautiful Buck's Pocket State Park.
POLICIES
-A retainer of $50 is required to reserve a session. If no retainer is received within two weeks of selecting a date, one reminder will be sent. If no response or arrangement is made, then the date will be reopened for other clients to book. The remaining amount is due at the session.
-If the client needs to cancel the session for any reason, he/she is responsible for contacting the photographer prior to the scheduled session time. I totally understand that things come up (kids get sick, etc.). I just ask that you please be considerate of my time and let me know you need to cancel or reschedule at least 3 hours prior to session time. If a client makes no attempt to contact me beforehand and does not show up for their appointment, they forfeit their $50 retainer. If said client wishes to book another session, then FULL payment will be due upon booking.
- The client may transfer a retainer to a different date/session ONE TIME. If the client wishes to reschedule again (and the reason is not sickness or another emergency), then a new retainer will need to be paid.
- All sessions have a maximum time limit. Time begins at the client’s scheduled session time. Any amount of time that a client is late is time taken away from the session.
- If incliment weather arises (rain, storms, etc.) the day of your outdoor session, the session will be rescheduled. Studio sessions are not affected unless the weather is severe (such as severe thunderstorm or tornadoes), or there is other travel risk for the client.
- Photographer cannot be held responsible for uncooperativeness of the subject. Children aren’t always happy, and definitely not always in the mood for photos. I do everything possible to get the images we desire, but sometimes a child just does not want to smile. In that event, I will capture other artistic images that you will love.
- If you prefer for your images not to be posted on social media and your sneak peek sent privately via email, please inform me of your preference before your session.
- Clients are welcome to share images on social media. I only ask that you not alter the images (such as with filters).
- Do not save and/or screenshot any unpurchased images from your proofing gallery. It is a violation of copyright law and is ILLEGAL.
- If additional digital files are purchased, the download gallery will not be released to the client until full payment for additional files is received.
- Reschedule dates are not offered for mini sessions (unless photographer needs to reschedule the entire event due to weather, etc). If a client cancels their mini session spot at least 24 hours in advance, their payment will be credited for use in a future session. If a client does not show up for their mini session without prior notice, the full payment is forfeited.
