    Client agrees to pay photographer a retainer at the time of booking to secure their appointment date and time. This is a non-refundable retainer fee that goes toward your session. The balance is due at the time of the session. The session fee covers the time and talent of photographer, basic retouching and creative editing of images, as determined by the photographer, and images (amount depending on session) to be stored through your private gallery.
    Any editing requested by client beyond normal lighting and color correction will incur an editing fee if $75 per hour with a one hour minimum. 
    ​**Not all sessions come with products as part of the session fee, it is up to you to read what was given at the time of quoting and understand what your session includes (all information is given at time of quoting).

Should client fail to give 24 hours notice, or decide to completely cancel the shoot, the retainer fee is forfeited and will not be refunded or be-able to use towards a reschedule.  If a reschedule is allowed, they must hold session within 30 days of canceling or retainer is forfeited and can not be used toward a reschedule.  Note,  If client is 30 minutes or more late to their session, the session will be considered cancelled and no refund will be given.  Additional time will not be given for late arrivals if prior to 30 minutes late.  **If client needs to reschedule a second time its up to the photographer if retainer fee can be used for reschedule or if a new one will need to be applied. 
    Photographer reserves the right to reschedule due to illness, weather, equipment malfunction, or other circumstances beyond their control.
    If weather is not ideal and clients decide to go forward with session regardless of condition the photographer will not be held responsible for conditions and no reshoot will be offered without a fee.
    ​Any Baby Collections: If you cancel without a 24 hour notice or do not show up without notifying me for a scheduled session more than twice within the babies year, the photographer has the right to cancel the remainder of the baby collection for the remainder of sessions (year).  Any monies already paid will NOT be refunded, nor will the album be made since collection was never finished.All Payments must be paid on time at time of session, if you choose to be a part of a payment plan during any Baby Collections.  Non-payment will result in cancelation of the remainder of the baby collection for the rest of the year.
