FAQ & Terms and Conditions

Deposits

All shoots require a down payment equal to 50% of the total listed price. The down payment is part of the total payment, which will be split 50/50—down payment plus the final half. The remaining balance is due on the day of the shoot before any work begins. Deposits should be paid at least a month or a week prior to the shoot date. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of your booking.

When Should I Book?

It is recommended that clients book at least 2-3 weeks in advance, subject to availability.

Do You Travel?

Yes, a travel fee will be applied to any location over a 30-mile radius. For out-of-state travel, additional rates and fees will apply, including flight costs, gas, and mileage compensation at the current IRS mileage rate for the year.

Late to the Shoot?

We understand that things can come up, such as traffic or emergencies. We offer a 15-minute grace period after the booked time slot.

Update or Cancel?

If you need to reschedule due to tardiness, an additional 10% of the original deposit amount will be required to secure a new date. If rescheduling is due to unforeseen weather conditions, there will be no extra cost, but all fees associated with booking a location or studio will be the client’s responsibility. Distance fees will need to be paid again for all rescheduling situations.
