Policies


To provide the high-quality experience you expect, I’ve outlined a few guidelines here.


These will help us stay on the same page so we can focus entirely on creating beautiful memories.


Payment

At the time of booking, a 50% non-refundable retainer is required to secure your appointment date and time. All invoices include Texas sales tax. Your session deposit must be made in the form of card via the booking site or digital form of payment.

Clients may choose to pay the full balance upfront or pay the retainer to reserve the appointment date and time.

The remaining balance is due on the day of the session and may be paid through the same invoice or in cash.

Images will not be released until the full balance has been received.

Important: Unpaid deposits will result in your requested date and/or time being released.

Note: All sessions start at the base price listed. Final pricing may vary based on selected add-ons. Be sure to review all add-ons before requesting a session.

Grace Period & Late Fee

Please let me know if you are running late, I understand things happen!

  • Grace Period & Late Fee: The Photographer provides a fifteen (15) minute grace period from the scheduled start time. Should the Client arrive after this grace period, a $20 late fee will be automatically added to the final invoice.
Cancellation & Rescheduling

Cancellation: If the Client cancels, the retainer is non-refundable.

Rescheduling: Requests must be made 48 hours in advance. You CANNOT reschedule the day of the shoot. Retainer fee can be transferable to any future booking if the session is rescheduled.

Weather: In the event of unsafe weather, the Photographer reserves the right to reschedule at no additional cost.

Retouching

The Photographer will perform standard color correction, exposure adjustment, and minor blemish removal.

Extensive Editing: Requests for "body sculpting," background removal, or advanced digital manipulation are not included in standard packages and will be billed $10 per additional premium edited image.

Selection: The Photographer will give the client the opportunity to choose the best images for the final gallery; unedited "RAW" files will NOT be delivered.


Gallery Review & Delivery

Watermarked proof galleries will be delivered within 48 hours after your session.

Clients are responsible for selecting their favorite images from the proof gallery.

Image selections should be submitted within 7 days of receiving the gallery.

Delays in selections may extend the final delivery timeline.

Final images will be delivered within 5-10 business days after I receive your selections. More complex creative edits or larger galleries may take additional time; you will be notified should this be the case.

Should the Client wish to purchase additional edited images beyond the initial fifteen (15), they may do so at the following rates:

  • Standard Rate: $10 per additional edited image.
  • All additional edit fees must be paid in full before the final images are released.

Rush Service Option: Should the Client require the final images sooner than the standard five-day window, a $50 Rush Fee may be applied. This service guarantees a faster delivery turnaround (to be agreed upon at the time of the request).

Extended Session Time

If the session exceeds the allotted time, additional studio time may be purchased at a rate of $60 per hour (billed in 30-minute increments). Please note that extensions are subject to the studio’s facility availability and the Photographer’s schedule.

Payment for Extras: Fees for additional locations or extended time must be settled via the Client's preferred digital payment method (Cash, Invoice Link, CashApp, Venmo, or Zelle) before the final gallery is released.

 

Booking steps

 

STEP 01

 

Initial Inquiry & Vision

The process begins with your ideas! Reach out via the contact form or text me (806-410-0074) to share what kind of session you’re looking for.

STEP 02

 

Select Your Package

Once we’ve chatted about your vision, you will receive a breakdown of available session packages. These typically include:

  • Specified shooting time and location
  • A set number of high-resolution edited images.
  • Access to an online gallery for viewing and downloading.
STEP 03

 

Contract & Invoice

To officially secure your date on the calendar, two things are required:

  • Sign the Contract: This digital document outlines all the details including location, timing, and image delivery expectations so we are both on the same page.
  • Pay the Retainer: An invoice will be sent along with your contract. A non-refundable retainer is required to lock in your appointment.
STEP 04

 

Session Prep

Now the fun part! In the days leading up to our shoot, we’ll touch base to finalize the location and any last-minute details.

  • Assemble a creative mood board
  • Screenshot a variety of poses for inspiration
  • PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE (You know what you like and don't like!)
STEP 05

 

Picture time

  • Arrive Early: Aim for 5–10 mins prior to settle in and do a final mirror check.
  • Keep Moving: Slow, fluid movements look more natural than stiff, frozen poses.
  • Trust the Direction: I’ll guide you into the best light, even if the angle feels "unusual," it looks great on screen.
  • Connect: Focus on interacting with your partner or family for those "dreamy," candid shots.
STEP 06

 

Gallery Delivery

After the session, the real magic happens in the editing room.

  • Sneak Peeks: You’ll often receive the proof gallery to make selections for final editing.
  • Final Gallery: Your full, edited gallery will be delivered via a secure link within the timeframe specified in your contract.
