1. Session Fees & Payment Terms:

  • My retainer is 40% final package cost required to book. Final payment would be due on the day of the photoshoot.

  • I have a strict no-refund policy on retainers and sessions, though flexible rescheduling (with proper notice) is offered.

  • For our clients who included the concierge experience, including wardrobe and styling services, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required to book with full payment made 48 hours prior to session. Payment methods would include bank transfers, credit cards, or even installment plans for higher-end packages.

2. Turnaround Time:

  • For me to ensure highly personalized service. Turnaround time for proofs are within a week, with final images delivered in 2-3 weeks unless extensive retouching is required. Rush services are available with a premium.

3. Image Delivery:

  • Instead of simple online galleries, I offer beautifully curated physical products like premium-quality photo albums, prints, or custom USB drives in luxury packaging. Online galleries would still be provided but branded for exclusivity and privacy.

4. Photo Retouching & Edits:

  • Basic edits are expected; Advanced retouching, such as skin smoothing, body reshaping (if requested), and color grading, would be included, with special requests discussed in advance. The amount of allowed retouches and edits are outlined in the invoice.

5. Print Rights vs. Usage Rights:

  • Personal-use rights for prints and sharing within their inner circle is standard, however you’ll need explicit permission for any form of public or commercial use. Our contracts clearly outline confidentiality regarding where and how images may be used, especially for sensitive sessions like boudoir.

6. Print/Model Release:

  • Clients have the option to request that their session and images remain private, at their discretion. Written notice is required at time of shoot.

7. Travel & Location Fees:

  • All travel expenses associated with the photoshoot are the responsibility of the client and will be included in the final invoice.

8. Privacy & Data Use:

  • Your photos and information are stored securely and not shared without permission. Offering a secure, encrypted gallery access would provide an extra level of discretion and security.

9. Refunds & Liability:

  • I know life is busy, and there’s rarely room for rescheduling or cancellations, so I have a strict no-refund policy on retainers and sessions, though flexible rescheduling (with proper notice) is offered. You can expect assurances of my professionalism and the ability to deliver under any circumstance.

    It is my goal to provide an amazing photography experience.
