Client Agreement
This contract is between the client and the Photographer, Amelia Haggadone of Amelia Margaret Photography. This contract is for families with 8 members and under. For sessions involving more that 8 people, please inquire about extended family session pricing.
A. Session Fees
A $10 non-refundable booking fee is due at the time of booking to reserve your date and time agreed on. Once the client signs this agreement and the booking fee is paid, your session will be scheduled. The photographer will reserve the session time and will not make another reservation for that specific time frame. The $10 booking fee will be applied to your final balance due at the time of your session.
B. Rescheduling
If a situation prevents a photo session from taking place, the client may reschedule their session at least 14 days prior to their original appointment without penalty. The previously paid booking fee will be applied to a single rescheduled session within six months from the original session date. Should the client fail to give 14 days notice, or decide to completely cancel the shoot, this booking fee is forfeited and will not be applied to a new date. A new booking fee will be required to hold a new appointment time. If the client arrives 15 minutes or later than the scheduled appointment time, the booking fee will also be forfeited and a new session must be scheduled.
In the event of an illness or symptoms of fever, difficulty in breathing, or dry cough or exhibiting any other symptoms relating to COVID-19 or other communicable disease, the client agrees to notify the photographer. If notice of 12 hours or more is given, the booking fee will be applied to a single rescheduled session within 6 months from the original session date.
The photographer reserves the right to reschedule due to illness, weather, equipment malfunction, or other circumstances beyond her control.
