Terms and Conditions

When you purchase a session, you are agreeing to the following terms:

Entire Agreement

This agreement is the entire understanding between us and supersedes anything agreed before. It can only be changed in writing, signed by all parties.

Payment & Prices

Your package cost is the price stated at booking, and it stays fixed once your booking is confirmed. The full contract amount is due at booking unless otherwise stated. Because your date is reserved for you and no other reservations are taken for it, the payment is non-refundable.

Reschedule

Clients may not reschedule under any circumstance, except as described under Torrential Weather below.

Torrential Weather

If the weather is torrential and I determine the shoot isn't possible, your session will be rescheduled for another day.

Personal Camera

Please don't bring your own camera or recording equipment to your session. If one is present, I'll ask for it to be put away.

Requested Coverage

I'll honour the photographs you request, but no specific photographs are guaranteed.

Artistic Style

By booking, you're telling me you've viewed my previous work and you're happy with my style. Variations from location, subject and lighting are expected, and I may interpret any shot artistically — some in colour, some in black and white. You're never permitted to edit or alter any photo that is my copyright.

Cooperation & Physical Liability

Sessions work best with cheerful cooperation. I'm not responsible for missed images if participants don't appear or cooperate, and I may end coverage immediately, with no refund, if there's a threat to me or my equipment. You're responsible for your own and your participants' conduct and for any damage to equipment or the studio, and you hold me harmless for injuries or damages before, during and immediately after your session.

Copyright & Reproductions

I own the copyright to all images from your session, with the exclusive right to make reproductions — including for my portfolio, self-promotion, contests and exhibitions, editorial use, and display in or on the studio.

Photographer

If I'm ill or facing a personal crisis, I may substitute another competent professional photographer in my place.

Limit of Liability

If I can't perform due to a medical or natural emergency or another cause beyond my control, your deposit is returned with no further liability. The same limit applies if materials are damaged or lost in processing, through camera malfunction, in the mail, or otherwise without fault. For any other failure to perform, my liability is capped at the retail value of your order.

Inherent Qualities

Colour dyes in photography may fade or discolour over time, and you release me from liability for that. I'm also not responsible for low quality that comes from printing at non-professional labs.
