POLICY

IMPORTANT. PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY.

1. SESSION FEE. 50% of session fee is due at the time of booking in order to secure your date. Session fees must be paid on or before the scheduled session. Paying your deposit as soon as possible ensures that you receive your desired date.

Payments accepted via PayPal. Once the session deposit is paid, no additional client can be booked for that time, as a result session deposit is non-refundable. 

2. CANCELLATION. If you must cancel your session please let me know as soon as possible (no later than 48 hours prior) so we can reschedule your session to the next available date and provide this time for another client. You are however limited to one rescheduled date, otherwise your session is subject to cancellation and will result in a forfeiture of your session fee.*

*This is applicable only in the case of non-weather related, non-emergency postponements.

3. INCLEMENT WEATHER. We will simply reschedule your session to the next available date! 

4. TIME. Please arrive on time to your session dressed and ready to begin. There is a window of time allotted for your photo session that begins at your specified time so additional time for preparation will reduce the time we can spend taking photos. If you are more than 30 minutes late, your session is subject to cancellation. 

5. PHOTO SESSION. Cameras and camera phones of any kind are not permitted at our photo session.

6. ATTENDANCE. Attendance at photo sessions is limited to those being photographed. Having additional people present can be distracting to both the photographer and to those being photographed.

7. PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP. Professional makeup is required for all female subjects. If you do not have a professional makeup artist, one will be suggested for you. 

8. COPYRIGHT. All images provided by Capturing Memories with Elena Photography, whether digital or print, may not be reproduced by any means. Doing so constitutes copyright infringement and is punishable by law. If you are posting any of the digital files to social media (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram etc.) or if you share or use any digital files from either Facebook or my website, you may not alter the image in any way and you must give credit to Capturing Memories with Elena, CMWE Photography.

Instagram – you may not alter the image(s) in any way by adding filters.
