Book Your Senior Session

Retainer: The retainer is the minimum requirement to book the session. The retainer is $75.00 and applies to the total session fee. In the event of a canceled session this retainer is non-refundable. Payment Arrangements: The retainer of $75.00 is due at the signing of this contract. The remainder of the session fee is due the day of the scheduled session, prior to the start of shooting. The studio reserves the right to refuse services/products if the payment arrangements have not been met unless prior arrangements have been made. Payment Stipulations: There is a $25 fee for any returned checks. In the event of a previous returned check by client, studio reserves the right to refuse payment of checks in the future, in which case cash, money order, cashier’s check, and debit/credit will be accepted. Schedule Arrangements: Due to the nature of the session a strict timeline will be enforced to ensure the session obligations are met. The session will start at the scheduled start time even if the client is tardy or unprepared. The session end time will remain the same. If additional time is needed, client will have the option to purchase based off the a la carte pricing menu for additional time. If you have more than one location for your session, the travel time going from destination A to destination B so forth does count towards the total amount of the session time. The same applies for outfit changes; changing from one outfit to another does count towards the total amount of the session time. The client is responsible for providing any props or outfits that are to be used within the session. Studio will not be held responsible for additional sessions needed due to forgotten items. Additional Fees: In the event that the client specifies a certain location to be used during the shoot, the client is responsible for all location fees involved such as location access fees, parking, etc. Client is also responsible for arranging the location access and any permits/passes related to doing so. There are additional fees for the following: added time, additional outfit changes, any products/prints/services not specified in the session purchased. Reference the a la carte pricing menu for specific pricing amounts. Additional fees may be assessed for the adding of more than one person within this session. Cooperation: Studio is not held responsible for behavior of parties involved with the shoot, with the exception of studio personnel. If the desired outcome of your session is jeopardized by the behaviors of parties involved with the exception of studio personnel, studio cannot be held responsible.
