Cancellation, Rescheduling, Late Arrival,
and No-Show Policy

Cancellation, Rescheduling, Late Arrival, and No-Show Policy

Photography productions often involve the coordination of multiple parties, including studio rentals, location permits, hair and makeup artists, assistants, models, stylists, and other vendors. Advance notice is required to allow these parties the opportunity to fill cancelled time slots, avoid unnecessary expenses, and accommodate other clients.

Many rental studios and locations also require a minimum of seventy-two (72) hours notice for cancellations, rescheduling, or date changes to avoid rental penalties and forfeited booking fees.

Client Cancellation

More than fourteen (14) days before the scheduled session: Deposit retained; any additional payments made beyond the deposit will be refunded.

Less than seven (7) days before the scheduled session: Deposit forfeited.

Less than seventy-two (72) hours before the scheduled session: Up to one hundred percent (100%) of the total session fee may be retained to cover lost booking opportunities, vendor commitments, rental fees, and production expenses.

Photographer Cancellation

If the Photographer must cancel due to illness, emergency, venue issues, unsafe conditions, travel disruptions, or circumstances beyond reasonable control, all payments received will either be refunded in full or applied to a mutually agreed rescheduled date.

Late Arrival Policy

Clients arriving late may reduce the amount of available shooting time. Sessions will not automatically be extended to accommodate late arrivals.

In addition, where the production schedule, studio booking, crew availability, or rental agreements permit an extension, a late fee of $150 per hour (or portion thereof) may be charged for any additional time required as a result of the Client's delay.

No-Show Policy

Failure to attend a scheduled session without prior notice, communication, or reasonable cause shall be considered a no-show.

In the event of a no-show:

The full session fee shall be immediately due and non-refundable.

All deposits and payments shall be forfeited.

The booking shall not be eligible for rescheduling, credit, or transfer to a future session.

The Photographer reserves the right to invoice any additional production, rental, travel, talent, or vendor costs incurred as a result of the no-show.

The Parties acknowledge that these policies exist to protect the time, resources, and commitments of all individuals involved in the production.
