By booking a photography session with the Company and receiving images, the Client agrees to all terms specified below and confirms acceptance of this agreement.

2.) Print Release

This license grants the Client the right to print and display the images for personal use and small business use as defined below in ‘Usage Rights’. The Client may reproduce the images solely for personal enjoyment or small business purposes. Printing may be done through a professional lab or a consumer printer.

3.) Usage Rights

This license grants the right to share digital images for personal and small business use, defined as businesses with fewer than 20 employees or businesses that do not engage in significant commercial advertising.

• Share digital images (e.g., social media, company website) for promotional purposes directly tied to the Client. Restrictions: Any commercial distribution, sub-licensing, or sale of the images is strictly prohibited unless explicitly agreed upon in writing by the Company. The Client is prohibited from using images for larger-scale commercial purposes unless an additional licensing agreement is established.

4.) Additional Restrictions

The Client agrees not to:

• Resell, license, sub-license, or transfer the images or any print products to any third party.
• Edit, alter, or modify the images with the intent to resell in digital or print formats. (Minor edits, such as resizing, applying filters, or making fine art alterations, are acceptable for personal use only.)
• Use the images in any unlawful, defamatory, or otherwise injurious manner.
• Use the images in a way that infringes on the intellectual property rights of the Company or any third party.

 5.) Model Release

The Client agrees that the Company may use images from the session for marketing, portfolio, or promotional purposes unless the Client provides written notice to opt-out prior to the session.

6.) Client Conduct During Sessions

The Client agrees to maintain a respectful and cooperative attitude during the photography session. Any disruptive, unsafe, or inappropriate behavior by the Client, Client’s guests, or subjects may result in immediate termination of the session without refund.

7.) Client Responsibility for Photo Download and File Retention

The Client is solely responsible for downloading and securely storing the digital photo package upon receipt. The Company is not liable for re-sending, reproducing, or restoring the photo package should it be lost, deleted, or become otherwise inaccessible by the Client at any time following initial delivery. Note: The Company strongly recommends that the Client back up all digital files to prevent loss or inaccessibility.

8.) Professional Edits and Special Requests

The images provided by the Company include standard editing. Standard editing encompasses adjustments to lighting, color balance, and basic retouching. Special requests, such as airbrushing, head-swapping, custom edits, color changes, or similar advanced modifications, are available at an additional cost. These requests must be agreed upon in writing before any work begins. Rush edits may be available for an additional fee.

9.) Delivered Package and Session Yield

The delivered photo package is not guaranteed to include the advertised number of images if the session does not yield enough suitable material. The Company strives to deliver the highest quality images; however, variables such as tardiness, cooperation of subjects, weather, or other unforeseen factors may affect the final count.

10.) Rescheduling (Weather/Illness)

Clients may reschedule due to weather or illness with a minimum of 72 hours’ notice. The session must be rebooked within 30 days of the original date, subject to photographer availability. If rescheduling does not occur within this window, a new retainer fee will be required to secure a future date.

11.) Payment Terms

All session fees and additional charges (e.g., for travel, special edits, or rush) must be paid in full at the time of the session. Failure to provide full payment at the session may result in delays or withholding of the final images.

12.) No Refunds Policy

All payments are final and non-refundable, including deposits/retainers, session fees, travel expenses, and any additional costs. Refunds will not be provided for no-shows, cancellations, or rescheduling, except as outlined in Section 10. Dissatisfaction with the final product or services does not warrant a refund under any circumstance.

15.) Force Majeure

The Company shall not be held liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under this agreement due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, government restrictions, pandemics, equipment failure, or unforeseen circumstances that make the session or delivery of images impossible or impractical.

16.) Indemnification
