Terms of Service

 A. Session Fees

Client agrees to pay photographer a retainer at the time of booking to secure their appointment date and time. This is a non-refundable retainer fee that goes toward your session. The balance is due at the time of the session. The session fee covers the time and talent of photographer, basic retouching and creative editing of images, as determined by the photographer, and images (amount depending on session) to be stored through PASS. Additional editing is available at additional expense to be determined by photographer. Additional prints or digital images may be available for purchase.

B. Location Costs & Fees

If there are any costs/fees associated with the location the client has chosen for their session, you, the client, will be responsible for those fees. The photographer will not guarantee or arrange payment on any location. Creative fee covers travel within 30 minutes of Milwaukee,WI.   Any location outside of these limits will be subject to an additional charge of $.52/mile as part of the agreement.

C. Rescheduling

If an illness or situation prevents a photo/Video session from taking place, client may reschedule their session at least 24 hours prior to their shoot without penalty.

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