Payment. The Client shall make payment in full for session fee in order to retain services for the agreed upon session date.
 

Cancellation. Please arrive at least 10 minutes prior to your session time. Mini Sessions run on a very tight schedule and the allotted time is the only time you have. There will be no refunds or guaranteed reshoots available. If you are more than 10 minutes late your session and session fee will be forfeited. Due to the way mini sessions are scheduled, if you cancel within one week of the session, payment is still due for the reservation of your time slot.
 

Weather and Rain Dates. In the event of rain or extreme winds during your scheduled session time, the Photographer reserves the right to postpone the session for one of the listed rain dates below.

If there is a chance of rain on session day, the hour-by-hour radar and forecast will also be monitored. The Photographer will contact you either the night before or the day of you session via email or text message should sessions need to be postponed. Postponements will be decided no later than 2 hours before the start of that day's mini sessions. Rain date sessions will take place at the originally scheduled location and times. If you cannot make the rain date set by the photographer, a full refund will be issued. Rain Dates: Sunday, October 9, Sunday, October 16) Rain dates will be scheduled for the closest date after your original session date.
