Terms & Conditions


Terms & Conditions


1. Scope of Work:

PHOTOGRAPHER and CLIENT are to arrive for the PHOTOSHOOT at the agreed time and location which will be confirmed 7 days prior to the photoshoot via reminder emails. 


2. Retainer and payment:

Upon your signature, PHOTOGRAPHER will reserve the time and date agreed upon, and will not make other reservations for that time and date. The CLIENT shall pay the session fee retainer that is strictly non-refundable, no exceptions. Only once these terms are accepted and the session fee retainer is paid does the shoot become confirmed and the time and date guaranteed. 


Upon payment of the non-refundable session fee retainer, PHOTOGRAPHER will reserve the time and date agreed upon by both parties exclusively for you. The full amount + any agreed upon additional travel fees must be paid prior to the date of PHOTOSHOOT. No services will be made until full payment is made. In the event that payment is dishonoured after payment has been made, no photos shall be released until a substitute full payment is made and clear funds have been received. Albums range from $799-4499, Folios range from $599-699 and digital images are $100/each. Minimum order ($400) can be applied to any of these product types. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. These prices can change at anytime without notice.


3. Work Product:

All photographs will be shot in digital format. The session fee does not include any images or products, and is strictly non-refundable. All images and products are sold separately after the proof images are viewed by the CLIENT with a minimum order of $400, not including the session fee. During the reveal the same day of the PHOTOSHOOT, images will be presented and can then be ordered with desired products at additional fees. Minimum order is due at Reveal. Be advised that RAW files may be destroyed at any time after the online gallery has closed. RAW files will never be delivered to the CLIENT, no exceptions. Alteration of the CLIENT'S body will NEVER be included in session fee or image pricing. Bedhead Creative Corp represents body positivity and to include alteration of the body would go against these values. If requested by the client, images will be sent out to an external editor at a PREMIUM PROCESSING FEE of $29/image which will be billed to the CLIENT. The CLIENT may download (NOT SCREENSHOT) images from the online gallery for personal use only. ONLY contracted client will have access to download images. Downloaded images must not be edited or reproduced in any form including for the purpose of being submitted to contests, publication, reproduced for commercial use or in any other form other than as provided for in this agreement or with the express written license of the PHOTOGRAPHER. Once the balance is fully paid, a turnaround time of 4-6 weeks applies to all printed products. 3-5 weeks for digital products. Please reach out to me before booking if you're hoping to have your images back sooner. Turnaround times are subject to the PHOTOGRAPHER'S availability, seasonal events and/or discretion as well as the PRINT LABORATORY's turnaround times. 


4. Rescheduling/Late Arrivals:

In the event that the CLIENT requests to reschedule its session, the retainer will be applied to a rescheduled session provided that notice is given at least 7 days prior to the scheduled PHOTOSHOOT. Your Session Fee Retainer can be rescheduled ONE TIME with at least 7 days notice. Without 7 days notice, PHOTOGRAPHER will be entitled to retain all amounts paid under this contract and not renew the session. A new session for any no-show or last minute cancellations will require a new non-refundable Session Fee. Rescheduling a session for the second time for any reason will require a rescheduling fee of $200 + a new Session Fee Retainer at its current price point. Any CLIENT that is late arriving to the session will have the remaining amount of time allotted for the session. All additional time beyond the scheduled end time (if available) will be billed to the CLIENT at a last-minute fee of $150/hour. All Session Fee Retainers must be shot within 1 calendar year of purchase or a new Session Fee Retainer will need to be paid. Rescheduling of $99 and mini sessions is not permitted. $99 and/or mini sessions cannot be refunded, rescheduled, combined, transferred or credited in anyway for any reason. Please book accordingly.


5. Cancellation:

If CLIENT cancels this agreement or fails to show, all payments made to PHOTOGRAPHER will be forfeited. If CLIENT does not show for scheduled session without ANY given notice or communication, PHOTOGRAPHER reserves the right to refuse any future bookings. Any new sessions to be scheduled will require a new session retainer/fee.

Spouses, friends and other people not being photographed may not sit in on our session unless express permission has been given by the PHOTOGRAPHER to the CLIENT. This slows down the PHOTOGRAPHER’S work and violates the PHOTOGRAPHER’S intellectual property in the composition of pictures of the PHOTOSHOOT. CLIENT agrees to do all things reasonably requested by PHOTOGRAPHER to ensure that no person(s) get in the way of the PHOTOGRAPHER or take pictures in these situations. Any person(s) with permission to sit in is forbidden from taking any photo or video footage.
