Clients Terms & Conditions
1. Photography consent. The Client consents to themselves and/ or their children being photographed by The Photographer.
2. Cancellations. Either The Client or The Photographer may cancel the photo session without cost or penalty, provided that one weeks notice is given to the other party. If The Photographer needs to cancel the photo session at any time then The Photographer will assist, if possible, in helping The Client find an alternative photographer or rescheduling with no additional cost to The Client.
In the event that The Client cancels a photo session giving less than 7 days notice then The Photographer will evaluate on a case-by-case basis as to whether a refund of the full session fee (less the non-refundable deposit) will be given depending on the circumstances of the cancellation. By booking a session The Client agrees to pay a non-refundable deposit of $100 when the session is booked. If the deposit is not paid The Photographer cannot guarantee the booking.
