Instructions *

The client must ensure that all their instructions and expectations regarding the booking and session are agreed in writing.

Licence Granted to the Client *

The copyright in all Photographic Works resulting from the Booking or Order remains the property of the Photographer. The Photographer grants the Client a non–exclusive Licence to use those parts of the Photographic Works selected by the Photographer and presented to the Client, however this Licence does not include the right to copy, reproduce or publish the Photographic Works or any part of the Photographic Works.

Conditions of Licence *

This Licence to use, and the right to use, the photos comes into effect from the date of full payment of the Order, except where the Photographer gives express written permission.

Reservation *

The client understands and agrees to pay a reservation fee, to secure the date and time of the appointment, and for the photographer to not make any other reservations or accept any other clients for that time. The fee is refundable if the session is cancelled with more than 24 hours notice. Within 24 hours notice the deposit is not refundable. However, if you have to cancel due to sickness the session will be postponed and another session time booked without placing another deposit. The session may be postponed twice.

Payment *

The client shall pay the photographer the various amount payable in accordance with the booking. The balance is due either 7 days before your session date, or at the time of booking if the booked session date is less than 7 days away.

Cancellation or Postponement of Booking *

Where the Client is a no-show for a booking appointment the deposit of $200 is non-refundable. If a client cancels within the 24 hour time frame the option of rescheduling the session for free will be given to the client or a refund of any money paid minus $100 administration and preparation fee. If client goes into labour before the photoshoot and is unable to attend the photoshoot, the photographer will return any invoice paid minus$100 for administration and preparation for the photoshoot. Alternatively the client can transfer all money paid (including the deposit for the maternity session) towards a newborn photoshoot. In the case of sickness, the client or the photographer, can postpone the session until everyone is well. If the photographer cancels on the client then either a new date for the photoshoot will be arranged or a full refund will be given, including all the desposit.

Covid-19 *

If either the photographer or the client are sick the session will be rescheduled until everyone in your or my household is well. There is no fee to transfer the session date due to illness. I understand that practice guidelines can change at any time due to the nature of Covid-19 and that guidelines provided by the Ministy of Health will be followed regarding safe practice of the photoshoot. These guidelines will be provided before the photosession.

Transfer of Booking *

The Booking appointment and any fees paid prior to cancellation or postponement of the appointment are transferable to another person, as if it were the original person, as long as the Booking is similar and the date and time of the appointment are not changed. This must be agreed with the photographer.

Refunds and Reshoots *

Refunds and re-shoots will not be given for poor choices of clothing, make-up, hair, weather related issues, or by not following the recommendations of the photographer. Refunds and re-shoots will not be given for those who do not co-operate for the session, eg. children who cry or do not smile. Refunds and re-shoots are given entirely at the discretion of the photographer.

Final images *

The client understands that the photographer's decision regarding the images is final. The final images will be digital images, supplied as an online gallery for the client to download. A link to this gallery will be made available via email. The gallery will remain available to the client to download for one month from the date the link to the gallery is emailed to the client. The client understands it is their responsibility to download their images within this time.
