PHOTO SESSION CONTRACT

The contract is put into place so you know exactly what a session with me entails and to ensure that I am able to deliver on your expectations. Please read all information carefully. If you have any questions, please let me know before the session. Thank you!

SESSION

1) Your Creative fee is due at the time of booking. Creative fees (non-refundable) cover time and talent only and secure your session date and current prices. Credits and pricing expire 30 days after the proofing gallery is posted. Images and products are sold separately.

2) You are responsible for covering additional fees and costs related to location choice (admission fees, parking, etc.). Travel up to 50 km from HRM is included. Time and travel above this will be invoiced (contact me for pricing).

3) Because it can be distracting (especially to small children) and prevents me from being able to do my job effectively, other cameras are not allowed at the photo session (with the understandable exception of births).

4) I would never want to photograph someone who wasn’t feeling 100%. If someone becomes ill, please call as soon as possible to reschedule. I maintain the right to reschedule if needed due to inclement weather, illness, emergency, etc. Requests for rescheduling or re-shoots are granted only at my discretion.

PROOFING & ORDERING

6) Within 3 weeks after the session--usually sooner--I will post your proofs (15-20) in a password protected gallery online. This gallery will be hosted for 5 days, so please be prepared to place your order in that time. There is a $45 charge to upload your gallery for an extra day.

7) On your client website, there are tips to help you calibrate your monitor for effective viewing of your gallery. If the images appear too dark or too light on your screen, I recommend you give this a try.

8) Be sure to inspect your images very carefully in your gallery. Once images and products are ordered, all sales are final.

9) Creative privilege - there are times when an image needs a certain crop or a particular treatment. I will do my best to match your tastes, but I need to have the freedom to decide how to make an image look its absolute best.

10) I cannot begin design work or processing orders until payment is complete.

11) Please be prepared to place your order during the 5-day period when your gallery is posted. This is strictly to maintain a speedy workflow and to help prevent backlogging for other clients. There is a $100 minimum for re-orders & current pricing applies.

12) If you have a request for a small change to an image, please let me know when you place your order. I can address minor changes at no cost (fix blemishes, tighter crop, etc.), but more involved requests are billed at $25/hr. I will let you know if there will be extra charges before work is begun. Once the requested changes are made, charges apply regardless if the final product is purchased.

DESIGN WORK

13) If you purchase items that require design work, I will consult you first to get your input on the images, colors, text, etc. for the design. Try to be as specific as possible. I will then create a design doing my best to incorporate your requests. You can make up to three small changes to that design (change a color, change text, change out a picture). Additional changes will be billed at $25/hr. Again, I will let you know if there are extra charges before work is begun. Once the requested changes are made, charges apply regardless if the final product is purchased.

14) Since the custom flushmount album is a larger design, you can make up to 10 small changes at no charge; additional changes will be billed as previously described.

15) Try to keep in mind that there is a great deal of time and planning that goes into layouts, so adding, deleting, or moving pictures around can be quite complicated and may affect several aspects of the overall design.

OTHER

16) Cheques returned by the bank for any reason will be charged a $25.00 service charge and sessions/orders will be cancelled if they are not paid in full within three days of notification.

17) Tanya Shields Photography retains copyrights on all images and reserves the right to use the images and/or reproductions for display, publication, or other purposes. “All rights” pricing is available. Under no circumstances can a client use these images for profit, commercial endeavors, in competitions, or for professional display.

18) Please do not copy images you have not purchased. Copying or scanning images from your gallery, my website, the blog, or from other printed materials is considered stealing, regardless of the intent for use.

19) Credits and special offers are non-transferable and are not redeemable for cash.

20) A new session cannot be scheduled until ordering is complete on a past session.

21) ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
