TERMS & CONDITIONS
1. RESERVATION/RETAINER FEE: The reservation/retainer fee of $200 is due at the time of agreeing to a session. There will be a 24 hour holding period. Should the fee not be paid within 24 hours of agreeing to a session, your scheduled day and time will be released to other potential clients and a $50 service fee will be added to re-book your session. Reservation fees are deducted from the final order total at the ordering session. Reservation fees are non-refundable, and are applied to work rendered by the photographer for booking, setting up, styling, and planning your session as well as any session loss due to your booked date. Reservation/retainer fees can however be applied to another session within 6 months of the originally schedule session.
2. SESSION FEE: All clients must pay a non-refundable session fee ($195+ depending on the session type) that is due the day of your session. Session fees only cover the time and talent of the photographer and do not include any products, packages, or digital files. Session fees are non-refundable, and are applied to work rendered by the photographer during the actual session as well as any session loss due to your booked date.
Please note that mini/milestone session are all inclusive and do not have a session fee.
3. ORDERS/PACKAGES: ALL FULL sessions are REQUIRED to purchase one of four packages. Clients will pre-choose the package of their choice prior to their session. Packages start at $1,000. The $200 reservation/retainer fee is deducted from the grand total of your order. Prices are subject to change at any time; however the prices in effect at the time your reservation fee was paid will remain as such for your scheduled shoot. If you are grandfathered in for any year previous to those stated, then you agree to the pricing guidelines that were in place at the time of paying your reservation fee.
4. PHOTO INTEGRITY: Any image that may contain closed eyes, motion blur, or does not meet the standards of A Moment 2 Remember Photography will not be available for viewing or purchase.
5. UNCONTROLLABLES: While I use my years of knowledge and expertise to give you the best possible session I can, there will be times when I am unable to control certain portions of your session. When working with babies and small children there are never guarantees. You can trust that I will come armed to your session with all the tricks needed to keep a baby sleeping or a toddler smiling, but sometimes tiny people just refuse to cooperate in the way that we hope and even armed with our best tricks things may not go as planned. Rest assured, if the little's decide to throw a curve ball, I can still take wonderful pictures of an awake newborn, and even though some older babies or toddler sessions won't produces frame after frame of grins and giggles, I can still capture their more serious side and that can be just as cute as a smiling picture. While we all show up to the session hoping for the perfect case scenario and prepared with the skill to try and attain that goal, ultimately I cannot force a baby or a child to smile or sleep on command and I make no guarantees that either of those two things will happen. I use my years of experience and try my hardest to deliver the perfect 'text book' session, but sometimes I have to work with what I have in front of me to create the best possible pictures I can. Ultimately, on the day of your session, I will capture your child's mood on that particular day and in the time frame we have to work with. Sessions will not be re-shot due to lack of smiles or a more serious personality then commonly exhibited at home. Order/payment requirements stand in situations beyond my control as long as the picture is technically correct and children are not emotionally hysterical. Furthermore, refunds will not be issued in these types of situations.
6. PRINTING RELEASE: The printing release grants you permission to print your selected photos. You are free to print these photos for any lawful purpose; however, you are prohibited from altering the image in any way, shape, or form whether it be in Photoshop, Instagram, Picasa, or any other editing programs, etc. Print release does NOT grant you copyright benefits, but only printing rights.
