ABOUT MINI-SESSIONS:
PORTRAIT SESSION: Mini-Sessions are typically done on one scheduled day at one location. The client is guaranteed up to 30 minutes of shooting time. Due to the limited slots and back to back booking, mini session fees are non-refundable and are due at the time of booking.
MINI-SESSION DETAILS AND POLICIES: Mini-Sessions are scheduled back-to-back, any client that is late to their session, will lose that time from their session. To avoid this, Clients should intend to arrive at least 10 minutes prior to their session start time.
I will use this time wisely and try to capture the best possible images in the allowable time frame. This will include entire family images, images of siblings together, and images of children individually, as long as time allows and children are willing to be photographed. The session schedule will indicate if pets are welcome and again will be contingent on time and if the pet is willing to be photographed. Sorry, there will be no time for clothing changes. As mini-sessions and their inclusions are offered at a discounted rate, no other offers or discounts apply, and re-shoots are not offered.
It is the Client's responsibility that any children involved in the photography session arrive in the following condition:
o Healthy (free of illness)
o Full belly (Hunger = unhappy children)
o Well rested (Fatigue = unhappy children)
o Clean (Face, clothing, etc.)
CANCELLATION/POSTPONEMENT: Please note that your session fee is non-refundable. In the event that you cancel your portrait session after it has been scheduled, no refund of your session will be made to you. However, as we understand that schedules may change, in the event that you need to reschedule your session and you provide at least twenty-four (24) hours advance notice of same, your session fee may be applied to the next mini-session event (date to be determined).

WEATHER: If sessions are canceled due to weather, Photographer and Client will reschedule at the earliest date possible, with no additional charge.
