Terms & Conditions

 

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 cost in its entirety covers a pre-session consult if desired, the time and talent of photographer and basic retouching and creative editing of images as determined by the photographer. Printed products and digital files purchased require a 50% deposit the day they are ordered, with the remaining 50% due the day of delivery. Retainers can be transferred but not refunded.

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.

Should client fail to give 24 hours notice (minus illness occuring withint that 24 hour time frame), 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. If you, anyone you have been in contact with or anyone who will be at the session has been ill (fever, cold, flu, stomach bug, etc), you must be fever or symptom free for at least 48 hours PRIOR to your session.

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

Ivory Lamb 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. 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 Ivory Lamb 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 strive 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 (please see session info/tips here as well)

*Please bring a pacifier, if you are comfortable even if the baby will not take one. This sometimes gives me precious seconds during posing to get the final image I need.

*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.

*Please arrange for childcare for any children that must attend for any times they are not being photographed.

*For older children and adults, 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.
