📸 Delivery, Copyright, and Usage:

  • All edited images will be delivered via a Picflow link, which will remain active for 2 months.

    • Re-uploads after expiration may incur a $10 fee.

  • All images taken by the photographer are copyrighted and legally owned by the photographer. They may be shared on the photographer’s website and social media pages for promotional purposes.

  • Clients may display delivered images on personal social media, websites, or printed portfolios, but only in the final, edited version agreed upon with the photographer.

  • Any commercial use (e.g., promotional ads, business use, merchandise, etc.) without written permission from the photographer may result in legal action.

📍 Location, Weather, Travel & Scheduling:

  • The client is responsible for securing all necessary permissions for photography at any venue or location.
    The photographer is not liable for lack of access, denied entry, or fines due to unapproved shooting locations.

  • In the case of bad weather, sessions may be rescheduled free of charge.

    • If the client chooses to proceed with the shoot during inclement weather, no makeup date will be provided.

    • Deposits remain non-refundable. You may apply your deposit toward a rescheduled session in case of weather-related delays.

  • Travel outside the state of New York will incur a $50/hour travel fee, unless I am already in the area.

  • Editing is not done over the weekend unless a rush fee is paid. Please do not expect deliveries on weekends unless the $50 rush fee is applied.

📌 Additional Information:

  • I aim to deliver images that meet both your vision and my creative standards. Revisions are available upon request, but significant changes outside the original agreement may include additional fees.

  • By booking a session, you acknowledge and accept all the terms listed in this policy.
