studio POLICIES
  • Signature--We're proud of our work and treat each image as a true piece of artwork, hence, all prints and most files will be signed &/or marked with a copyright signature.  
  • Canceled or Missed Sessions--When a session is scheduled, that block of time is set aside just for you.  Cancellations within 48 hours, or no-shows, are still responsible for session fees. We will do our absolute best to accommodate any rescheduling changes needed.
  • Digital file policy--Our reputation, our commitment to you, and frankly, our livelihood, comes from the delivery of the finest quality portrait images possible.  We understand how important these images are to you. That said, we attempt to keep archived versions of the images you purchase for at least 3 years. We realize many of you want to show off your children and family so we make WebFiles available.  WebFiles are digital files formatted for social media uses. They will contain the studio logo &/or copyright.  These are not printable-sized files.  WebFiles will be complimentary from images ordered in Wall-size prints, and $45 from printed images purchased in smaller versions.
  • Deposit--We require 50% of the total order to start production.  Balance due upon notification that your order is ready for pickup.
  • Non-payment Late Fees--30 days after notifying you that your work is ready, a $30/month storage fee will be added to your balance unless a Payment Plan has been established and is still current.  After 60 days, delinquent orders will go to collections.  The client is responsible for all Collection, legal fees and other charges reasonable due because of non-payment.
  • Copyright--By federal law, it is illegal to copy or scan images; or, to duplicate or use digital files other than for the purposes for which they were purchased, without the consent of the studio.  We do not release the rights to our images if the studio can produce a requested product, otherwise, there will be an appropriate fee charged for the intended use.  
  • Group Retouching Fee--Portraits containing 6 or more people will incur a $10 per person retouching fee, with a maximum charge of $50, unless other arrangements are made.
