AGREEMENT TERMS & CONDITIONS
PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT: The Client will pay the Photographer the total fee specified in the invoice they receive from Photographer. The total fee will include the amount specified in Section 2 as well as mileage and lodging as specified below.
For photography sessions beyond 35 miles of the city limits of Roswell, GA, the Client is responsible to pay mileage for the excess amount (roundtrip).
The total fee presented on Photographer’s Invoice to the Client is payable at the time of the specified session unless otherwise outlined below:
Lodging: In the event that Lodging is necessary in order to complete the agreed upon photo session the Client agrees to pay no less than$100.00 to the Photographer at the time of the session.
A deposit of 50% of the portrait fee and a signed copy of this agreement are required to reserve a portrait session date. The remaining balance of the portrait fee is due on the day of Client’s portrait session, and is payable before shooting begins.
SESSION PROOFS: Client will receive access to a private online photo gallery. Photographer retains the right to edit the photographs as she sees fit based on experience and exertise and omit any image(s) that do not meet her standards.
CANCELLATION/POSTPONEMENT: Client understands that by entering into this agreement, Photographer is foregoing other photographic jobs. In the event of a cancellation or postponement of the portrait session/agreement by Client, the deposits paid are non-refundable. Deposits are transferable if a date change is necessary. Forty-eight hours (48) notice of postponements or cancellations is appreciated. If it is not possible for a session to take place on a scheduled day due to weather, Photographer and Client will reschedule on an agreed date at the earliest date possible, with no additional charge.
COOPERATION/NO SHOWS: Photographer is not responsible if Client and/or key individuals fail to appear or cooperate during portrait sessions, or for missed images due to details not revealed to Photographer.
