Client agrees to pay photographer a retainer of 50% at the time of booking to secure their appointment date and time. This is a non-refundable retainer fee that goes toward your session. A balance depending on your package choice is remaining and due no later than the session date. Please see above for retainer and total costs pertaining to your package. THE REMAINING BALANCE IS DUE PRIOR OR THE DAY OF THE SESSION.
If there are any costs/fees associated with the location the client has chosen for their session, you, the client, will be responsible for those fees. The photographer will not guarantee or arrange payment on any location. Creative fee covers travel within 20 miles of photographer's home in Salmon, Idaho. Any location outside of these limits will be subject to an additional charge of $.52/mile as part of the agreement.
If an illness or situation prevents a photo session from taking place, client may reschedule their session at least 24 hours prior to their shoot without penalty. Should client fail to give 24 hours notice, or decide to completely cancel the shoot or not show up, this session fee will not be refunded. The 50% non-refundable retainer covers any time and prep associated with the session and is not refundable.
If a client reschedules more than once there may be an additional charge of $55 to re-book. Photographer reserves the right to reschedule due to illness, weather, equipment malfunction, or other circumstances beyond their control. 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 or weather related issues, or by not following the recommendations of the photographer. The photographer will not be held responsible for how family members behave or act during the session that may result in your 'dissatisfaction.'
Your session starts at the agreed time and the photographer has the right to cancel the session if you are 15 minutes or later and will not result in any kind of refund. The total cost of the session fee is not refundable once images have been downloaded or delivered via your gallery. This includes any screenshots you have taken as well from your gallery but did not include them in your chosen photos. Print fees are not refundable once proof has been approved and prints ordered.
