Client must obtain permission from Summerly Photography before submitting any photos for publication.

CREATIVE LICENSE: The photographer’s portfolio is not a guarantee of style. Images are edited at the photographer’s discretion, and flash drives will not include all images shot. The photographer reserves the creative right to edit and release only those deemed creditable as professional in quality and within the photographer’s artistic standards. The Client understands that although Summerly Photography will do their best to recreate requested photos found on Pinterest or other such sites, Summerly Photography is being commissioned for her style of photography and not the styles of others.

ARCHIVAL: Upon receipt of online gallery, the client accepts all responsibility for archiving and protecting the photographs. Summerly Photography cannot guarantee all photos will be permanently archived.

LIMITS OF LIABILITY: It is acknowledged that any requests submitted to Summerly Photography will be used for organizational purposes only and in no way represents photography that will be produced. Summerly Photography will make a best effort attempt to fulfill all requests but can make no guarantees that all images will be delivered. Summerly Photography cannot be held responsible for lost photo opportunities, requested or not, due to schedule complications or unsatisfactory conditions caused by, but not limited to, weather, timeliness of participants or location restrictions. If Summerly Photography cannot perform this agreement due to extreme conditions caused by, but limited to, road closures, severe traffic, fire, casualty, Acts of God, terrorism, or other causes beyond the control of Summerly Photography, any monies paid by the client shall be returned, and Summerly Photography shall have no further liability in the matter. In the event of debilitating illness, injury, or incapacitation, any monies paid by the client shall be returned, and Summerly Photography shall have no further liability in the matter. This limitation of liability shall also apply in the event that photographic materials are damaged in processing or lost through equipment or media malfunction.

All packages include the photographer’s time, a high-resolution gallery of images as an online download, and a print release form.

DEPOSIT: $150 is due at booking. This reserves my services for the above date. Upon signature and receipt of the payment, photographer will reserve the date and time agreed upon and will not make other reservations for that date and time. For this reason, payment is non-refundable.

PAYMENT: The remaining balance is due at the time services are rendered.

RESCHEDULING: The session can be rescheduled at any time for any reason including inclement weather. Please keep in mind that dates are first come first serve, and certain reschedule dates might not be available.

CANCELLATION: If the session is cancelled for any reason, Summerly Photography shall retain all monies paid in order to offset any loss of business. 3 non-weather related reschedules made by the client will result in the session being cancelled.
