About Your Shoot

Timeliness is imperative for the smooth execution of each session. Additional time will not be added to a session, in the event

of tardiness.

​

For real estate shoots, unless we stage and set the house or venue, it is expected that the house or venue will be staged and set in the exact way that it is to be shot upon our arrival, if we spend time staging, setting, cleaning or otherwise adjusting the house or venue beyond 15-20 minutes of time there will be an additional charge of $50 added per 30 minutes extra time incurred for staging, setting or cleaning. Please check our pre-photoshoot checklist here.

 

If late or tardy to the specified location a grace period of up to 15 minutes will be given for each booked session. After 15 minutes, clients will incur a charge of $15.  After 30 minutes, session will be cancelled and client will forfeit payment for the session.

For weddings and events, if for any reason the Client cancels before the wedding date, the Photographer will keep the the event retainer fee paid to hold the wedding or event date as a cancellation fee. Cancellation must be made in sent in writing, by mail or e-mail. However, if the client requires to change the wedding date, we will do our best to accommodate the change and no fee will be charged as long as the new date is available and within six months of the original event date.  If we are not available for the new date, the original contract will be cancelled and subject to the cancellation policy.
