PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL
Because it can be distracting and prevents Elise from being able to do her job effectively, cameras (including cell phone cameras) and video cameras are not allowed at the photo session (with the understandable exception of births). You are welcome to ask if you would like to capture photos or videos of the process, to share with Elise, however you may not specifically photograph only the subject.
ILLNESS
Elise would never want to photograph someone who wasn’t feeling 100%. If someone becomes ill, please call as soon as possible to reschedule. Elise maintains the right to reschedule if needed due to illness, weather, emergency, etc. Requests for rescheduling or re-shoots are granted at Elise's discretion.

MODEL RELEASE
If you are comfortable with it, please place a check mark in the box below to indicate that you WILL allow Elise Campbell Photography use photos for marketing, advertising, portfolio, Internet, Facebook, samples, or as a sneak peek online before your gallery is available.
VIEWING & ORDERING
Within 3 weeks after the session, you will join Elise in her studio (or at a Zoom Meeting) for a viewing and ordering session. All decision-making family members MUST BE PRESENT at the time of our ordering session. Your order must be completed, and paid in full, at the time of the session.
Once images and products are ordered, all sales are final.
If you have a request for a small change to a digital image, please let Elise know when you place your order. Elise can address minor changes at no cost to tangible images that will be ordered through her (fix blemishes, tighter crop, etc.), but more involved requests are billed at $75/hr. Elise will let you know if there will be extra charges before the work has begun. Once the requested changes are made, charges apply regardless of whether the product is purchased.
PRODUCTS
Once your tangible product order has been picked up and/or delivered from the studio, Elise is not responsible for any damage that may occur. Elise is also not responsible if you change our mind about a choice regarding your product (size, frame color, album style, etc.).
DIGITAL IMAGES
If you choose to purchase digital images, or if they are included in a collection you have ordered, you are responsible for downloading them, printing them, and backing them up. Digital downloads will be available for 30 days after they have been purchased. After that, they are not promised to be available. Your images will be cropped and colored how Elise believes they will print the best. Some images (particularly those shot in low light) may have visible film grain when enlarged too much. This is normal, but may not be aesthetic. In addition, if you crop an image too tightly, you may lose resolution and may cause it to be pixelated when enlarged. To ensure the best print quality, avoid altering your images before printing. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to ask Elise. Elise is not responsible for printing errors or quality of prints or products that are not printed directly through Elise Campbell Photography.
OTHER
Images viewable online are sharpened and reduced for best web viewing. They do not print well. Please do not copy images you have not purchased. Copying or scanning images from your gallery, my website, blog, or from printed materials is considered stealing, regardless of the intent for use.
Credits and special offers are non-transferable and are not redeemable for cash.
A new session cannot be scheduled until ordering is complete for a past session.
You are responsible for your child’s safety and well-being and must remain with your child for the entire duration of the session. Elise is not responsible for any illness or injury.

Should models (or models' familes) wish to order additional images, they are more than welcome to, however, no additional purchase is expected or required.
