FAQ

Do I need to pay a deposit?

When booking your session, 25% of your package fee or $150 whichever is greater, non-refundable fee is required. This secures your booking and all other enquiries are declined for this date. The remainder of the session fee is payable on the day of your session. Your deposit is non-refundable but can be rescheduled due to illness or unforeseen circumstances. Please contact me at least 2 days prior to the shoot date if you need to reschedule. If we have bad weather on the day of the shoot we can reschedule. Note: In the event of the client not showing up on the day of the shoot, or a last minute cancellation, there will be no refund and the shoot will not be rescheduled.

 

When can I view my images?

If requested, final images will be available to view approximately 2-4 weeks after your session and will be presented to you in a password protected online gallery. Please feel free to share this online gallery with friends and family. The gallery will be posted for 8 weeks and you will be contacted via email when they are uploaded. During this time you will be able to select which portraits you would like to order, either as prints or high resolution digital download. You also have the option of purchasing the digital images at the time of your session, in which case a beautifully packaged DVD containing the final colour corrected high resolution images will be posted to you which allows you to print the images privately. The images on the DVD are high resolution images that have been individually colour corrected and worked on to create the highest quality final images, therefore we strongly recommend that you use a professional lab for your printing.
