low key policies and procedures

Due to limited session days and times, your retainer fee is non-refundable and only allowed to be transferred to another date ONCE. If you cannot make it to the scheduled session, please let us know within 24 hours so we can schedule the session for another open day/time.  

While our goal is for you to be absolutely in love with your photos and we will work with you to make sure you’re 100% satisfied, please keep in mind that due to the custom nature of the products, all sales are final. If a reshoot is warranted it must be scheduled within 4 weeks of your original session or else session will be forfeited.

All images will be purged (deleted) 6 months after your session. You are required to backup and store your images. We do not sell our digital negatives and we choose all images given to clients based on our artistic opinion. All images given to client will be hand edited and may not be re-edited, including Instagram filters.
