Portrait Session Photography Terms & Conditions
- Booking Confirmation: Sessions are confirmed upon receipt of a non-refundable booking fee (amount to be specified). This secures your date, time, and creative energy.
- Rescheduling: Allowed with at least 48 hours’ notice, subject to availability. Emergencies are handled with compassion.
- Session Fees: Due in full before or on the day of the shoot, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
- Additional Charges: May apply for travel, extended hours, location permits, or special requests—always discussed transparently beforehand.
- Cancellations: Booking fees are non-refundable. Full refunds are only issued if the photographer cancels due to unforeseen circumstances.
- Weather or External Conditions: If these affect the shoot, we’ll reschedule at no extra cost.
- Artistic Integrity: You are commissioning a session with a distinct artistic style. While your preferences are welcome, final creative decisions rest with the photographer.
- Collaborators: Makeup artists, stylists, or creative partners are welcome with prior notice. They must respect the photographer’s direction and timeline. Disruptive behavior may result in early termination of the session.
- Respect & Professionalism: Sessions are a co-creative space. Arrive on time, prepared, and open to the process. Disrespectful behavior, harassment, or breach of agreement may result in immediate termination without refund.
