A. Session Fees

Client agrees to pay photographer portrait session sitting fee in full 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 client will then pay for session edits after viewing their session.   The total fee for edits paid covers the time and talent of photographer, basic retouching and clean editing of images, as determined by the photographer, and will then be downloaded by client from www.lilrobinpics.com.   Additional editing is available at additional expense to be determined by photographer.  Additional prints or digital images will be available for purchase.

B. Location Costs & Fees

If there are any costs/fees associated with the location the client has chosen for their session, you, the client, will be responsible for those fees. The photographer will not guarantee or arrange payment on any location. The creative fee covers travel within 30 minutes of Cape Coral, FL.   Any location outside of these limits will be subject to an additional charge of $2.00/mile as part of the agreement. There is also a $50 fee for any beach location shoot. There are certain upgrade and travel fees that apply for certain locations outside of the travel time limit to be determined by the photographer. These fees will be added to your total cost upon when payment is due.

C. Rescheduling

If an illness or situation prevents a photo session from taking place, the client may reschedule their session at least 24 hours prior to their shoot without penalty. Should the client fail to give 24 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, or by not following the recommendations of the photographer. Please keep in mind that all verbal agreements given during consultation via phone are to be considered.

E. Archive

After six (6) 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. If client is in need of a reuploading of images, there will be a fee of $50.

F. Payment

All payments are due in full unless payment arrangements have been made. Orders will not be processed until payment in full is received. If client has arranged a payment plan, order will be placed after the final payment has been 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. Sharing of Images

Photographer will provide watermarked images for client to share on any and all social websites or apps. Upon signature of this contract, the client agrees to only share these images without cropping, editing or changing the images in any way. This includes adding filters or colors via social media apps.

I. Model Release

I hereby give to Lil Robin Pics 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.

J. 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.

K. Copyright & Penalty

Lil Robin Pics Photography retains all copyrights to all images created during client’s session. A print release may be purchased 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 Lil Robin Pics 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.

L. 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 15 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.
