Policies

Please make sure to read through my policy carefully and let me know if you have any questions!

General Policies

1. A nonrefundable deposit of 50% of the total cost is due at the time of booking. This must be paid before I add you to my calendar! The deposit is applied towards the total session cost. The remaining 50% must be paid the day of the shoot for all shoots except for weddings (weddings will have a written contract and the remaining 50% must be paid the day before the wedding.) Accepted payment methods include cash, cashapp, or apple pay.   
2. If a session is cancelled by the client, the deposit is still nonrefundable.
3. Rescheduling is allowed if I am given 48 hour notice. If an emergency comes up, please let me know asap and I will also work around that for rescheduling.
4. Outdoor sessions are weather-dependent.  In the event of unsafe or unfavorable weather, sessions may be rescheduled at no additional cost. Final weather decisions are made by the photographer.
5. Please arrive on time for your session! Late arrivals will result in reduced shooting time and cannot be extended. Arrivals more than 15 minutes late may be considered a no-show. Please text/call me if you are running late!
6. Each photography session is designed for the specific type of shoot that was booked. For example, a family session includes family portraits only, while engagement, couples, maternity, branding, or other specialty sessions must be booked separately. If you would like photos for multiple session types, they must be booked as separate sessions. For instance, engagement photos cannot be taken within a family session, and branding photos cannot be included within a couples session. If you are interested in multiple types of photos, please reach out before booking so we can schedule the sessions accordingly.
7. Failure to arrive for a scheduled session without notice will be considered a no-show and will result in forfeiture of all payments and a ban for booking any other shoots with me.
8. Gallery delivery time is typically 1 week from the session date. During peak seasons, turnaround times may be extended. Expedited delivery may be available for an additional fee, contact me for more information if you need expedited delivery.
9. By booking, clients acknowledge familiarity with my editing style. If there is a certain editing style you are looking for that does not match my normal editing, please send me an inspo photo and I will work with you on it and be sure I can match your vision.
10. RAW, unedited images will not be provided.
11. Image selection and final edits are at the photographer’s discretion. Delivered images will be provided via an online gallery for download.
12. By booking with me, Kristyn Rowe Photography retains full copyright to all images and the images may be used for my portfolio or social media. If there is a circumstance where you or a child cannot be posted online, please let me know so I do not post. Clients are granted personal usage rights.
13. Sessions may be terminated if unsafe, inappropriate, or uncooperative behavior occurs. No refunds will be issued in such cases.
14. Outfit changes and personal props are welcome within the session time. Excessive outfit changes may reduce shooting time.
15. While posing guidance is provided, client participation and cooperation are essential to achieve desired results, please come prepared!
