a) Photographer’s Responsibility: The photographer agrees to provide a professional photography session and deliver images consistent with their portfolio. However, the photographer is not responsible for:

Subject Behavior: The photographer is not liable for the cooperation, mood, or behavior of any subjects, including children. The outcome of the images depends on the subject’s engagement and willingness to participate.

This includes, but is not limited to, cropping, retouching, color alterations, or applying social media filters. Usage Restrictions & Additional Fees:

J. Session Requests

session unless prior arrangement has been made between client and photographer, including a written

agreement. The photographer will not continue if there are other cameras or video taping during the session.

*Session starts at the agreed upon time. It is strongly encouraged that client arrives 15 minutes prior to the start of session. This allows for any last-minute feeding, changing, and relaxing before session begins.

*Please do not bring any children not being photographed to the session.
