A. Session Fees Client agrees to pay photographer a retainer at the time of booking to secure their appointment date and time. This is a non-refundable retainer fee that goes toward your session. The balance is due at the time of the session. The session fee covers the time and talent of photographer, retouching and creative editing of images, as determined by the photographer, and images (amount depending on session) to be stored through Shootproof. Additional editing is available at additional expense to be determined by photographer. Additional prints or digital images may be available for purchase.
B. Payment: All payments are due in full at the time of the session. Payment is non~refundable once session is shot. Orders will not be processed until payment in full is received. Upon booking a session you are agreeing to purchasing at least the minimum digital package that is offered for your chosen session. Prints from the hosting site (Shootproof) are not required and do not count towards the amount paid for a digital package. Payments for digital images/prints are non~refudable. Single images will not be sold below the minimum package. If a single digital image is desired pricing will be priced at the digital package level. Sessions are very interactive and making sure we capture what you want is top priority. However, sessions are based on model behavior and communication. Once a session is shot, there are no refunds or reshoots given under the used session fee/digital package.
C. Rescheduling If an illness or situation prevents a photo session from taking place, client may reschedule their session at least 48 hours prior to their shoot without penalty. Should client fail to give 48 hours notice, or decide to completely cancel the shoot, this session fee is forfeited and will not be refunded. Photographer reserves the right to reschedule due to illness, weather, equipment malfunction, or other circumstances beyond their control.
D. Re-shoots / Refunds Re-shoots are determined at the discretion of the photographer. Re-shoots and refunds will not be given for poor choices of clothing, make-up, hair or weather related issues, upset children, or by not following the recommendations of the photographer. If a reshoot is desired, there will be a 30.00 session fee and this purchases 30minutes of session time.
E. Archive After three (3) months, all images will be purged from photographer’s hard-drive, except as needed for promotional purposes, to be determined by photographer at photographer’s sole discretion. Photographer is not responsible for loss or damage to the digital files due to circumstances beyond photographer’s control.
F. Payment All payments are due in full. Orders will not be processed until payment in full is received.
G. Damage Photographer is not responsible for the damage of portraits after delivery to client, including damage caused during transit by US mail. Client assumes all responsibility for the safety of all portraits upon receipt.
H. Model Release I hereby give to Jennifer Branham Photography the absolute and irrevocable right and permission with respect to the photographs that he/she has taken of myself and/or my minor child in which he/she may be included with others: a) To copyright the same in the photographer’s name or any other name that he/she may select; b) To use, re-use, publish and re-publish the same in whole or in part, separately or in conjunction with other photographs, in any medium now or hereafter known, and for any purpose whatsoever, including (but not by way of limitation) illustration, promotion, advertising and trade, and; I hereby release and discharge photographer from all and any claims and demands ensuing from or in connection with the use of the photographs, including any and all claims for libel and invasion of privacy.
I. Liability Photographer is not responsible for any injuries inflicted upon any participating parties. Client(s) will be responsible for their children and for themselves and release photographer from any claims against their person or their business.
J. Copyright & Penalty Jennifer Branham Photography retains all copyrights to all images created during client’s session. A print release will be included with digital files to print portraits for personal use up to designated size listed on print release. The print release does not allow publication of your portraits (i.e. entering in contests), selling or altering of your images without the photographer’s written permission. It is illegal to copy, scan, download, print, share, alter, or otherwise steal any image created by Jennifer Branham Photography during client’s photo session. This applies to "sneak peek" images, images posted in an online proofing gallery, blog, Facebook, or hard copy images. If client steals images via any method listed above, or any other method, client will be invoiced for the cost of EACH digital image client has stolen, at photographer’s current price per digital file. Note from photographer: I work very hard to create images that reflect you and your family, while keeping in line with my artistic vision and creativity. I know you will want to share them and include a sneak-peek for that very reason. However, I ask that you simply link back to my blog/website/facebook page instead of right-clicking, saving, and sharing the image via your own page. I hope that you will respect not only my hard work, but the time, money, and dedication that I have put into training and equipment to capture these images for you. Please do not steal them.
K. Session Requests *No cameras/camcorders/any type of recording device (this includes cell phone cameras) are allowed during the session unless prior arrangement has been made between client and photographer, including a written agreement. The photographer will not continue if there are other cameras or video taping during the session. *Session starts at the agreed upon time. It is strongly encouraged that client arrives 5 minutes prior to the start of session. This allows for any last-minute feeding, changing, and relaxing before session begins. *Please do not bring any children not being photographed to the session. *Please make sure hair is combed and face is clean and free of runny noses or eyes. *Please avoid eating or drinking red or orange food or drinks before session, as red and orange tend to leave a stain on the face.
