PHOTO SESSION AGREEMENT
1. The payment in full is due at time of booking. The session date and time is reserved only once the payment is received and the photo session agreement is signed.
2. If the client cancels their session for any reason at any time, the client will receive a reimbursement minus $75 (retainer / cancellation fee). The client may reschedule their session in the event of an emergency or illness. In that case, 100% of the session fee will be applied to a future mini session spot within 12 months of the original booking.
3. If the client arrives late to their session, the photographer cannot guarantee that any or all of the planned photos will be taken for the client. Late arrivals could result in the photo session being cut short or cancelled, and no refunds or discounts will be issued.
4. A sneak peek will be posted on Gabrielle Touchette Photography social media and approximately 50 unedited watermarked images will be posted in an online proofing gallery 7 days after the session. The client will have 1 month to order their favourite images from the proofing gallery. After the gallery expires, a $25 fee will be required to re-activate the gallery. Final high-res edited jpg photos will be delivered via online download link.
5. The photographer will edit the selected images and deliver the high-res jpgs via online download to the client within 3 weeks of the order being placed. All photos will receive colour correction & sharpening as well as basic editing. Basic editing does not include photoshop work to fix skin, clothing or facial features.
6. The client is responsible for the appearance and cooperation of all participants in the photos. This includes the look of clothing, hair, kids' runny noses or dirty faces, cooperation of participants affecting appearances or other unwanted visual elements.
7. If the client requests additional photoshopping beyond the standard included editing, the work will be billed at the rate of $100/hour.
8. The photographer owns the copyright to all images created and has exclusive right to use the images for marketing materials, public advertisement, contests, sample products, educational purposes and for display on the photographer’s website, blog and social media. The client may use the images for personal use only and may not crop, edit or alter the photos.
9. The photographer is not responsible for any injuries incurred by any of the members of the party being photographed or anyone else who may be attending a session as a guest. Clients will be responsible for their children, their guests and themselves, and release the photographer from any claims.
