Studio Policies & Terms
1. The session fee pays for the time and talent of the photographer, for the online gallery of proofs and a specific number of digital photos as indicated by the package you choose. Additional digital photos, prints and other products are available for purchase separately from the session fee.
2. The session fee and any applicable sales tax is due when you book your portrait session. Since we turn away any other requests for the date and time you have scheduled, session fees are non-refundable; however, with 48 hours notice your session can be rescheduled in case of an emergency.
3. Rescheduling Exception - If you have a sick child on the day of the session please call to reschedule. If you try to keep the appointment, we will most likely request that you reschedule if we notice your child is sick. Sick or uncomfortable children do not like to be photographed and we know that you will not love your portraits nearly as much as if he or she was in good health. COVID update: If anyone in your family or anyone you have seen recently is experiencing symptoms, please call to reschedule. It's better to be safe than sorry and we are happy to accommodate you and get you rescheduled.
4. Please bring only the people to be photographed to the session. This is especially important with pets and kids, as Crystal will need their full attention on her rather than looking at other members of the family. Of course parents are always welcome!
5. You agree to hold harmless, Crystal Jones, her representatives, employees and Crystal Jones Photography, from any dispute in the event you become injured during your session or while on the studio premises. Crystal Jones Photography and its representatives will not be held liable for any injury incurred by you or your family, or any damage to your property during the photo session or while on studio premises.
7. While Crystal does capture many images during your session, you will see only those images selected by her, the artist, for previewing. She carefully renders each image to ensure maximum artistry and technical perfection. Images with eyes closed, heads turned, duplicates, etc. will not be shown and are removed from our archives permanently after the artist rendering is complete.
8. For additional purchases such as prints, albums, extra digital photos and other products - due to the custom nature of the work, payment for your order must be given when it is placed and is subject to a 50% cancellation fee should you change your mind about an order after it is placed. Once an order is sent to the lab, it is deemed non-refundable.
9. Payment plans are available. Please let Crystal know if you are interested and you'll be given all the details. If a payment plan has been set up, you will not receive any digital photos, prints or other products until the final payment has been made.
10. All ordered images are fully retouched. Retouching includes: Lessening the appearance of wrinkles and under eye circles, removing blemishes and marks, brightening of eyes and teeth, removing noticeable fly aways and smoothing skin. Slimming of arms, face and midsection upon request. Any retouching requests that go above and beyond what is included will be quoted to you at an hourly rate.
11. An online gallery of your proofs will be created within 5 days of your shoot unless otherwise stated. Your gallery will be up for 7 days. You will be notified as soon as it is up and will be reminded of it's upcoming expiration if you haven't placed your order. Please order all your photos during this time as there is $50 fee to renew the gallery once it expires. If the gallery is put up at an inconvenient time, please let Crystal know right away so that a new date can be arranged.
12. Any digital photos you order will be fully retouched and then placed in an online gallery where you'll be able to download them. You can easily share these images with family and friends and on social media. Due to the nature of digital photos, once they have been downloaded, they cannot be "returned" or exchanged for another image. Please go over your order before you place it to make sure you're choosing the correct photos and the ones you love the most.

You will be notified by phone or email when your order is ready for pickup. If you are unable to pick up your order, we can ship your order to you for an additional charge.
15. Un-ordered images are removed from our archives 30 days after your gallery expires. All ordered images are kept on file for a period of 1 year. Re-orders placed more than 60 days after the gallery expires require a minimum $150 purchase.
