Contract/Agreements

Session Fees

Client agrees to pay photographer the couple family session fee of $440. Client agrees to pay photographer a non-refundable retainer of $100 at the time of booking to secure their appointment date and time. The remaining balance will be due the day of your scheduled photoshoot with cash, through Zelle, or check. The check can be written out to Jinely Reyes Photography. The $440 covers the time and talent of photographer, basic retouching and creative editing of images as determined by the photographer, up to 1 outfit change, family of 9 or less, and 25+ images available for download through an online gallery. Client agrees to pay any extra charges a venue may charge if scheduled on their site. Note - photo sessions do not include images on a USB-drive.  Please allow up to 2-3 weeks for delivery of the images through an online gallery. 

Rescheduling

Photographer reserves the right to reschedule due to illness, weather, equipment malfunction, or other circumstances beyond their control.

Re-shoots / Refunds / Cancellation

Re-shoots are determined at the discretion of the photographer. Re-shoots and refunds will not be given for poor choices of clothing, make-up, hair, child behavior, or by not following the recommendations of the photographer. No refunds will be given. Client has 2 months from the date of cancellation to re-schedule a new photo session date. If client fails to re-schedule within that time frame they will forfeit their $100 non-refundable retainer. Client can only re-schedule up to one time. After the first re-schedule, retainer becomes a cancellation fee. In case of inclement weather, Client and Photographer must agree on a re-shoot date. Fourty-eight hours notice of postponement or cancellation is appreciated to ensure the $100 retainer can still be redeemable.

Session Requests

*No cameras/camcorders/any type of recording device (this includes cell phone cameras) are allowed during the session unless prior arrangement has been made between client and photographer.

*Session starts at the agreed upon time. It is strongly encouraged that client arrives 10-15 minutes prior to the start of session. This allows for any last-minute changing and relaxing before session begins. In the event that the client is late to the appointment time, the client’s session will still be for the same scheduled ending time and may result in less images being captured. If client is a no-show or their time of photo session runs out the payment will still be due in full.

*Please make sure hair is combed and face is clean and free of runny noses or eyes.

*Please avoid eating or drinking red, orange, or heavily dyed food or drinks before session, as these tend to leave a stain on the face.

EXTRA INFO:

• Wear neutral/earthy toned colors.    -For example: white, grey, navy or light blue, beige, browns, light pink , etc. These colors allow the images to become more timeless and that is the style that I aim to capture! I always love when accessories are added to the photoshoot. For example, a felt or straw hat, some jewelry, etc.

• You are more than welcome to bring props for your photoshoot! Especially if they're meaningful to you.

For example: balloons, blanket to sit on, chair, or anything else that you feel will go along with your session!
