    Session Terms:

     Please Review​ 

    **Please note for mini sessions, you must be on time to mini session for they run one right after the other.  If you are any later than 5 minutes, your session is considered a no-show, and you will not be refunded your retainer.  There are several people after you, and it's not fair to make their sessions late. 
      If the mini session is held outdoors:
    Rescheduling due to weather is up to the discretion of Photography by: A.J. Crumley.  One date will be chosen to reschedule if this new date doesn't work with your schedule; the photographer will refund the retainer fee paid. 

    All sessions are scheduled on Eastern Time Zone; it up to the client to know the time zone they live in.


    A. Session Fees
    Client agrees to pay the 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; images will not be edited until final payments are made in full.  The session fee covers the time and talent of the 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.
      a) Mini sessions come with a set amount of digital files depending on the session.
    B. Rescheduling
    If an illness or situation prevents a session from taking place, the client may reschedule their session without penalty.  This does not include the actual mini shoot; you can use the retainer payment towards a full session.  This offer must be used within 30 days of the cancellation of the original session.
    Should the client fail to give 24 hours' notice or decide to completely cancel the shoot, the retainer fee is forfeited and will not be refunded.      Please note If client is 10 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 10 minutes late.  The photographer reserves the right to reschedule due to illness, weather, equipment malfunction, or other circumstances beyond their control.
    D. Re-shoots / Refunds
    Re-shoots are determined at the discretion of the photographer. Re-shoots and refunds will not be given for poor choices of clothing, make-up, hair, uncooperative behavior in both children and adults, weather-related issues, or for not following the recommendations of the photographer.
    E. Gallery
    Your private gallery will stay live for 30 days after the invitation to view email has been sent to your email. All orders must be made by that time. There is a $50 reload/hosting fee if you need additional time.
     a) REFUNDS WILL NOT be made for items you accidentally added to your cart or forgot to remove because you changed your mind. 
    F. Archive
    After twelve (12) months, all images will be purged from the photographer’s hard drive, except as needed for promotional purposes, to be determined by the photographer at the photographer’s sole discretion. The photographer is not responsible for loss or damage to the digital files due to circumstances beyond the photographer’s control.
    G. Model Release
    I hereby give to Photography by: A.J. Crumley the absolute and irrevocable right and permission with respect to the photographs that he/she has taken of myself and/or my minor child in which he/she may be included with others:
     a) To copyright the same in the photographer’s name or any other name that he/she may select;
     b) To use, re-use, publish and re-publish the same in whole or in part, separately or in conjunction with other photographs, in any medium now or hereafter known, and for any purpose whatsoever, including (but not by way of limitation) illustration, promotion, advertising and trade, and;
    I hereby release and discharge the photographer from all and any claims and demands ensuing from or in connection with the use of the photographs, including any and all claims for libel and invasion of privacy.
    H. Liability
    The photographer is not responsible for any injuries inflicted upon any participating parties. Client(s) will be responsible for their children and for themselves, and release the photographer from any claims against their person or their business.
    I. Copyright & Penalty
    Photography by A.J. Crumley retains all copyrights to all images created during the client’s session. A print release will be included with digital files to print portraits for personal use up to the designated size listed on the print release. The print release does not allow publication of your portraits (i.e., entering in contests), selling or altering of your images without the photographer’s written permission. It is illegal to copy, scan, download, print, share, alter, or otherwise steal any image created by Photography by: A.J. Crumley during client’s photo session. This applies to "sneak peek" images, images posted in an online proofing gallery, blog, Facebook, or hard copy images. If client steals images via any method listed above, or any other method, client will be invoiced for the cost of EACH digital image client has stolen, at photographer’s current price per digital file.
    Note from photographer: I work very hard to create images that reflect you and your family, while keeping in line with my artistic vision and creativity. I know you will want to share them and include a sneak-peek for that very reason. However, I ask that you simply link back to my blog/website/facebook page instead of right-clicking, saving, and sharing the image via your own page. I hope that you will respect not only my hard work, but the time, money, and dedication that I have put into training and equipment to capture these images for you. Please do not steal them.
    J. Session Requests
    *No cameras/camcorders/any type of recording device (this includes cell phone cameras) are allowed during the session unless prior arrangement has been made between the client and photographer, including a written agreement. The photographer will not continue if there are other cameras or video taping during the session
