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 images taken by the Photographer are for personal use by the Clients and their friends and relatives. Sale, Publication, Entry to awards or any Commercial use of the photographs is not allowed without prior written permission from the Photographer. 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. Following completion of the shoot the Photographer will deliver images sized for social media to the Client via a secure online gallery as soon as reasonably practical, but cannot guarantee urgent turnaround. Unless expressly agreed in writing the Client shall not be entitled to reject images on the basis of style or composition.

Additional Expenses

No travel expenses are charged for shoots up to a 20 mile round trip from the Photographer’s location at V92 X8W3. Additional mileage will be charged to the Client at 45c per mile. 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. Retouching, digital manipulation etc is available to the Client as an option at extra cost.

Confidentiality

The Photographer will keep confidential and will not disclose to any third parties or make use of material or information communicated to her in confidence for the purposes of the photography except where reasonably necessary to enable the Photographer to carry out her obligations in relation to the commission. Any information or data is kept in accordance with GDPR available on the GDPR.eu website.

Liability

The Photographer will take all reasonable steps to ensure equipment is in good working order, backup equipment is available where appropriate and that images are backed up in a responsible manner. In the unlikely event of a total photographic failure or cancellation of this contract by either party or in any other circumstance the liability of one party to the other shall be limited to the total value of the contract. Neither party shall be liable for indirect or consequential loss.
