Terms and Conditions
Please call to confirm date availability before paying any fees. Your booking is not secure until you do so.
Booking & Cancellation
Portrait photography sessions, or any fixed cost discount packages that include additional products are payable at the time of booking. A booking is considered firm as from the date of payment, only after the date has been pre-confirmed with the photographer. Accordingly, the Photographer will, at her discretion, accept cancellations and issue a refund depending on the amount of notice received prior to the agreed date: Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice will not receive a refund. Gift Vouchers are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase and are non-refundable.
Copyright
The copyright of photographs remains with the Photographer. The Photographer grants the Client permission to make copies of the images under the following conditions.

The Client hereby allows the photographer to display any photograph covered by this contract and to generally promote the business in advertising, brochures, magazine articles, websites, social media, sample albums etc.
Images
The Photographer will be responsible for creative choices in terms of the images captured during the shoot, but will take into account the Client’s reasonable instructions in respect of the shoot brief.

Unless expressly agreed in writing the Client shall not be entitled to reject images on the basis of style or composition.
Additional Expenses

If the portrait session is taking place on location, any entrance fees, parking fees or related expenses will be payable by the Client.
Portrait sessions include digital delivery of the best images from the shoot at a size appropriate for sharing on social media. Following the shoot, if the Client wishes to purchase full-resolution digital files, prints or wall art these can be arranged at additional cost. Additional products will be arranged on receipt of full payment and delivered directly to the Client.
Payment
Portrait photography sessions, gift vouchers and fixed cost discount packages are payable at the time of booking. Should the Client later order any additional printed products or digital files these will be payable at the time of order.
Retouching
All images will be adjusted for exposure, brightness, contrast, sharpness, etc. The Photographer’s judgement regarding these corrections and the number of images put forward to the Client shall be deemed correct.
