Terms & Conditions

By booking a photography session, or by purchasing or using a gift voucher, you agree to the following terms and conditions.

PRIVACY

Your privacy matters. Personal information is used only for communication, session planning, and order fulfillment.

BOOKING & SESSION DETAILS

AVAILABILITY

Sessions are scheduled on a pre-agreed date and time, subject to studio availability. Certain session types may be limited to specific days or times. Session fees cover the photographer’s time only and do not include products or digital images unless otherwise stated.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Unless otherwise stated, all sessions include only the photography experience. Artwork, prints, and digital images are purchased separately at your design and ordering appointment.

SESSION FEES

Session fees are required to secure your booking and are non-refundable.

DEPOSITS and gift credits

Deposits and gift credits may be applied toward your order only if:

  • You attend your session

  • You attend your ordering appointment

  • You have not canceled or violated scheduling terms

Deposits are forfeited if appointments are missed, canceled outside policy, or rescheduled improperly.

AGE REQUIREMENTS

All bookings must be made by someone 18 or older. A parent or legal guardian must be present for all minors.

SCHEDULING & ATTENDANCE

RESCHEDULING

A minimum of 5 days’ notice is required to reschedule. Sessions may be rescheduled once.

Late arrivals of more than 10 minutes may result in a shortened session or cancellation and may be treated as a no-show.

NO-SHOWS

Failure to attend within 10 minutes of your scheduled time is considered a no-show. All fees, deposits, and promotional credits are forfeited. Rebooking requires a new session fee and is subject to availability.

ILLNESS

If anyone in your group is sick or contagious, please contact me to reschedule. Standard rescheduling policies apply.

DURING YOUR SESSION

BEHAVIOR

You are responsible for the behavior of everyone attending your session, including pets. Sessions may be stopped if behavior is unsafe, disruptive, or disrespectful. You are responsible for any damage to studio property.

PETS

Pets must be fully vetted and vaccinated, safe, well-managed, and comfortable in new environments. Sessions may be stopped if a pet is distressed or poses a safety concern.

LIABILITY

You participate in sessions at your own risk. I am not responsible for injury, loss, or damage except where required by law.

LOCATION

Sessions take place at my studio in Marionville, Missouri, unless otherwise arranged.

CREATIVE CONTROL

I will guide posing and styling throughout your session. Specific requests are welcome when possible, but final artistic decisions remain at my discretion.

ORDERING & PAYMENT

PRICING

Pricing in effect at the time of your ordering appointment applies. Prices are subject to change without notice.

VIEWING POLICY

Images are presented at your design and ordering appointment. This is the time to select and purchase your artwork.

ORDERING & PAYMENT

Orders are placed and finalized at your design and ordering appointment.

Payment in full is due at that time. Orders are not placed into production until payment has been received.

Images not ordered are not kept on file after the design and ordering appointment.

SALES POLICY

All sales are final. Orders cannot be canceled, reduced, or refunded once placed, as all products are custom-made.

COMPLIMENTARY CREDIT

Any promotional credit must be used at your ordering appointment and cannot be applied later, transferred, or redeemed for cash.

PAYMENT OPTIONS

Payment is accepted via cash or card.

Financing options may be available through Affirm and Klarna for those who qualify.

AFTER YOUR ORDER

COLLECTION & STORAGE

Orders are typically ready within 3–6 weeks.

Orders must be collected within 60 days of notification. Unclaimed orders may incur storage fees or be considered abandoned.

COLOR & PRODUCT VARIATION

Slight variations in color, tone, or finish are normal and not considered defects.

PRODUCT DEFECTS

If a product is defective, it must be reported within 7 days of pickup. I will repair or replace verified defects. Damage after collection is not covered.

VOUCHERS & PROMOTIONS

VOUCHERS

Gift vouchers and promotional sessions:

  • Must be used within the stated expiration period

  • Are non-refundable and not redeemable for cash

  • Are limited to one per household unless otherwise stated

Missed appointments or cancellations void voucher benefits.

LEGAL & POLICIES

COPYRIGHT

All images remain the copyright of the photographer.

Images may not be copied, scanned, or reproduced without permission. Digital files are licensed for personal use only.

IMAGE USE

Images may be used for portfolio, studio display, website, and marketing unless you request otherwise in writing before your ordering appointment.

PHOTOGRAPHY POLICY

No personal photography or video recording is permitted during sessions or ordering appointments.

REFUNDS

All payments are non-refundable except where required by law.

CANCELLATION POLICY

You may cancel your session at any time; however, all fees and deposits are non-refundable. I reserve the right to cancel a session and refund any fees paid.

FORCE MAJEURE

If circumstances beyond my control (illness, weather, emergencies) arise, your session will be rescheduled.

REFUSAL OF SERVICE

I reserve the right to refuse service if policies are violated, behavior is inappropriate, or safety is at risk.
