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.
Professional Hair and Makeup Included
Professional hair and makeup services are included as part of the Schofield's Sirens experience. We believe every client deserves to look and feel their absolute best when stepping in front of the camera, whether working in a controlled studio environment or outdoor locations.
To ensure a consistent level of quality across all productions, Schofield's Sirens partners with experienced professional hair and makeup artists who help bring creative concepts to life while enhancing confidence and overall presentation.
Hair and makeup services are arranged and paid for by Schofield's Sirens and may be provided either at the client's residence, a designated preparation location, or on set, depending on the requirements of the production. Where applicable, hair and makeup artists may remain available during the session for touch-ups, styling adjustments, and maintenance throughout the shoot.
To help ensure the best results, clients are requested to arrive with clean, dry hair that has been washed the evening prior to the shoot. Please note that hair washing and blow-dry services are not included within the package unless otherwise specified in writing.
Our goal is to remove the stress of preparation and allow clients to focus on enjoying the creative experience while our team handles the details necessary to create exceptional results.
Closed Set and Privacy Protection Policy
Schofield's Sirens is committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and private environment for all nude, topless, implied nude, boudoir, and artistic nude productions.
For any session involving topless or nude content, the production shall operate as a closed set. All non-essential personnel shall be required to leave the shooting area prior to the commencement of nude content. Studio doors shall remain closed and, where possible, windows shall be covered or blacked out to protect the Model's privacy and comfort.
Only the Model and Photographer shall be present during the capture of nude or topless content unless the Model specifically approves the presence of an essential crew member in advance.
To further protect privacy and reduce the risk of unauthorized distribution, behind-the-scenes photographers, videographers, content creators, guests, observers, and third-party media personnel are not permitted during nude or topless portions of a production unless expressly approved in writing by both the Photographer and Model prior to the session.
No unauthorized photographs, videos, screen recordings, phone captures, or behind-the-scenes content may be created during closed-set portions of the production.
This policy exists to protect the Model's privacy, prevent the release of unapproved content, minimize the risk of leaks, and ensure that only images intentionally selected and delivered through the agreed proofing and approval process may be published, distributed, or otherwise used.
Comfort, Safety, and Client Experience
Schofield's Sirens is committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment for every client.
Clients may bring one trusted companion to the session for support, subject to approval by the Photographer and any applicable studio, venue, or location policies. The companion must conduct themselves professionally and may be asked to leave if they interfere with the production process or the comfort of those involved.
Reasonable accommodations regarding temperature, music preferences, privacy considerations, and overall shooting environment will be made whenever possible to ensure the Client feels comfortable throughout the experience.
Clients are encouraged to communicate any concerns or requests during the session and may request the use of mirrors, camera playback, or image reviews at reasonable intervals to help build confidence and ensure the creative direction aligns with their expectations.
The Photographer's goal is to provide an enjoyable, collaborative, and empowering experience while maintaining a professional production environment.
Kill Fee & Revocation Clause
In the event that a scheduled photoshoot is canceled, or if a collaborator (including but not limited to models, partners, or event organizers) revokes permission to post, share, or use the collaboratively created content, the following kill fee shall apply:
1. Kill Fee Amount: $700 CAD
A kill fee equivalent to 50% of the total agreed-upon session fee shall be payable to the Photographer. This compensates for time, resources, and opportunity costs.
2. Timing of Revocation
• If revocation occurs prior to the shoot date, the kill fee shall be 50% or deposit will be forfeited if revocation occurs within 48 hours of shoot date.
• If revocation occurs after the shoot has taken place and content has been created, the kill fee shall be the remaining balance of the total session fee.
3. Scope of Kill Fee
The kill fee is due regardless of whether the content is ultimately published or not, and is intended to cover the Photographer’s time and expenses invested in the collaborative event.
4. Revocation Procedure
Revocation of posting or usage rights must be provided in writing and acknowledged by all parties. The kill fee becomes payable within 5 days of such written notice.
Proof Gallery, Image Selection, and Final Delivery
Following receipt of final payment, the Photographer shall provide the Model with a curated proof gallery for image selection. The proof gallery is intended solely for the purpose of selecting final images and may contain watermarks, reduced resolution files, or other protective measures.
The Model may select their preferred images from the proof gallery up to the number included within their purchased package. Proof images are not licensed for publication, distribution, printing, sale, posting, or any other use.
Upon completion of the selection process, the Photographer will perform final retouching and deliver the selected images without watermarks. Only fully edited final images are approved for release, publication, printing, licensing, or commercial use.
Final edited images shall be delivered within fourteen (14) days of the Model submitting their completed image selections, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
The Photographer may also identify a reasonable number of favorite images from the session for portfolio, publication, website, marketing, and social media purposes. Any images selected by the Photographer for public release shall remain subject to the Model's approval where approval rights have been granted under this Agreement.
If image selections are not submitted within ninety (90) days of proof gallery delivery, the Photographer reserves the right to make final image selections on the Model's behalf and complete delivery accordingly.
Professional Conduct and Respectful Working Relationship
The Photographer is committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, professional, and comfortable working environment before, during, and after the production process. The Model/Client agrees to conduct themselves in a professional and courteous manner throughout all stages of the relationship, including pre-production communications, the photography session, image selection, editing, delivery, publication, and any subsequent business interactions.
Both parties agree to communicate concerns, disputes, revision requests, or misunderstandings in good faith and through direct communication before pursuing public criticism or third-party intervention.
Harassment, intimidation, threats, abusive language, discriminatory conduct, coercion, extortion, blackmail, or other unprofessional behavior directed toward the Photographer, Model, crew members, assistants, vendors, or affiliated parties shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
Neither party shall knowingly make false, misleading, defamatory, or malicious statements regarding the other party, their business, employees, contractors, reputation, services, or professional conduct. This provision shall not prohibit truthful statements, honest reviews, or disclosures required by law.
In the event of a material breach of this clause, the non-breaching party reserves the right to immediately terminate the working relationship, suspend future services, revoke any unpaid collaboration benefits or licenses granted under this Agreement, and pursue any remedies available under applicable law.
The parties acknowledge that maintaining mutual respect, professionalism, and good-faith communication is essential to a successful creative collaboration and agree to make reasonable efforts to resolve disputes privately and professionally whenever possible.
Proof Gallery, Image Selection, and Final Delivery
Following receipt of final payment, the Photographer shall provide the Model with a curated proof gallery for image selection. The proof gallery is intended solely for the purpose of selecting final images and may contain watermarks, reduced resolution files, or other protective measures.
The Model may select their preferred images from the proof gallery up to the number included within their purchased package. Proof images are not licensed for publication, distribution, printing, sale, posting, or any other use.
Upon completion of the selection process, the Photographer will perform final retouching and deliver the selected images without watermarks. Only fully edited final images are approved for release, publication, printing, licensing, or commercial use.
Final edited images shall be delivered within fourteen (14) days of the Model submitting their completed image selections, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
The Photographer may also identify a reasonable number of favorite images from the session for portfolio, publication, website, marketing, and social media purposes. Any images selected by the Photographer for public release shall remain subject to the Model's approval where approval rights have been granted under this Agreement.
If image selections are not submitted within ninety (90) days of proof gallery delivery, the Photographer reserves the right to make final image selections on the Model's behalf and complete delivery accordingly.
Content Usage License
Upon receipt of full and final payment, the Photographer grants the Model a non-exclusive, worldwide license to use the final delivered images for personal, promotional, and commercial purposes.
Permitted uses include:
Social media and personal websites.
Portfolio and self-promotion.
Magazine and editorial submissions.
Brand collaborations and sponsorship opportunities.
Print sales and approved merchandise (Through Schofield's Sirens)
Subscription and creator platforms, including OnlyFans, Fansly, Tempted, Patreon (where permitted), and similar content platforms.
This license applies only to the final edited images delivered by the Photographer. Proof images, watermarked previews, raw files, screenshots, and unedited content are not included within this license and may not be published, distributed, sold, or otherwise used.
Copyright ownership of all images remains solely with the Photographer. The Model may not claim ownership of the images, resell the original files, distribute them as stock media, or grant exclusive rights to any third party without the Photographer's prior written consent.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Model may monetize and commercially exploit the final delivered images through their personal brand, publications, memberships, subscriptions, promotional activities, and creator platforms without owing additional royalties to the Photographer.
Patreon Feature Policy
The Photographer may feature select final images on the Schofield's Sirens Patreon platform as part of a paywall-protected portfolio, gallery, or member-supported showcase.
The Parties acknowledge that content featured on Patreon is intended for portfolio, promotional, artistic, and community-building purposes only. The Photographer does not utilize pay-per-view (PPV) messaging, individual image sales, content licensing, or direct distribution of a Model's final images through Patreon unless otherwise agreed in writing.
To support the Model's personal brand growth and maximize engagement on their own platforms, the Photographer agrees to observe a thirty (30) day release delay following final image delivery before publishing approved content on Patreon. This exclusivity period allows the Model the first opportunity to publish, promote, and monetize their content across their own websites, social media channels, subscription platforms, and creator accounts.
For Models who prefer additional privacy, the Photographer may, upon request, omit the Model's name, stage name, social media handles, website links, and identifying information from Patreon posts. In such cases, content may be presented solely as part of the Schofield's Sirens portfolio collection without identifying the featured Model.
Where approved by the Model, Patreon may feature artistic nude, topless, boudoir, glamour, and fine art imagery that would otherwise be restricted on traditional social media platforms. All content published shall remain subject to the Model's selected permissions, visibility preferences, content restrictions, and approval rights under this Agreement.
The Photographer believes that supporting the success of participating Models benefits the entire Sirens community and intends for this release window and privacy option to help drive traffic, engagement, and audience growth toward the Model's own platforms while still allowing the Sirens brand to showcase its best creative work in a secure, member-supported environment.
Privacy and Attribution
Opt-Out
The Schofield’s Sirens standard business practice includes featuring completed work within portfolios, websites, social media platforms, publications, promotional materials, and marketing campaigns. Standard agreements also require reasonable social media attribution and tagging when images are shared by the Client/Model.
Clients and Models who prefer not to be tagged, credited, featured, promoted, or publicly associated with the Photographer may elect a Privacy and Attribution Opt-Out for an additional fee of $500 CAD.
By selecting this option:
The Client/Model shall not be required to tag, mention, collaborate with, or credit the Photographer on social media posts featuring the final images.
The Photographer shall refrain from identifying, tagging, or publicly crediting the Client/Model on social media, websites, or promotional content.
The Photographer may still retain copyright ownership of the images and may continue to use the images in accordance with any separate publication permissions granted under this Agreement unless a separate privacy or non-publication agreement is executed.
The Parties acknowledge that the opt-out fee compensates for the loss of promotional, referral, networking, and marketing value typically generated through social media collaborations, tags, credits, and public association with the completed work.
