Photographer will perform post-processing or digital image editing services on these images where necessary.
 

2. Fees 

For the photography services provided by Photographer, Client must pay 50% (fifty percent) via PayPal upon booking a studio session, totalling at ________. The outstanding amount of ________ is to be paid in full upon signing this contract. The initial payment reserves the Photographer’s time and is not a retainer or deposit. If Client cancels this shoot for any reason, the initial payment will not be returned to Client. This shoot can be rearranged for another time slot no more than twice after the initial booking. Photographer retains the right to deny service beyond a second rescheduling and the initial payment will not be returned to Client.
 

Client is required to purchase a minimum of 3 (three) images from the studio session. These will be viewable during a later session with Photographer. Every digital copy of the images given to the Client will be digitally enhanced to a high standard. These finished images will be £10.00 each. This fee must be paid in full during the follow up session, either by cash or PayPal.

Past 60 (sixty) days after the shoot, if Client would like Photographer to retain images from the shoot, an additional archiving fee of £20.00 can be made at any point during or up to the end of the 60 (sixty) days.

All images delivered to Client are licensed for Client’s personal use only. No “RAW” or unedited images will be made available to Client. Client will receive their selected images as high-resolution, digitally enhanced digital copies, which will be made available to download at their convenience. Under no circumstance is Client permitted to edit or affect images once received from Photographer. Legal action will be taken to remove these from public forum.
