Cancelation Policy
If for any reason you should cancel a session
Rescheduling and late arrivals -
I understand that life happens and that the weather might not co-operate with our session plans. If we need to reschedule due to weather, we will find a date that is closest to our original date as possible.
If you reschedule due to illness, or other reasons you will not be charged a penalty for rescheduling a session provided at least a 24 hours notice is given. No show or rescheduling within 24 hours will incur a $50 reschedule fee at my discretion.
v Client agrees to arrive 10 minutes before agreed upon meeting time. If client is late the photoshoot might be shorter than the agreed time.
Control of Subject in attendance –
v Client shall assist and cooperate with Photographer in obtaining desired photographs.
