Do you have a cancellation policy?

Client Cancellation:
The Client acknowledges that scheduling a photography session involves reserving time and resources. To cancel or reschedule a session, the Client must provide at least 24 hours' notice. Failure to do so may result in a cancellation fee.
If the Client cancels or reschedules with less than 24 hours' notice or is a "no-show" for the session, a cancellation fee of $200 will be charged.

Photographer Cancellation:
In the unlikely event that the Photographer needs to cancel or reschedule a confirmed session, every effort will be made to provide advance notice to the Client. The Client's session will be rescheduled at a mutually convenient time.
If a suitable alternative session cannot be arranged, a full refund of any prepaid fees will be provided to the Client.

Do you provide RAW or unedited photos?

I do not. You are hiring me for my talent as a photographer and part of that talent is my editing style which is shown in my work on my site.

Do you have insurance?

Yes! My gear is insured and I also have liability insurance.

What happens if there is bad weather?

For weddings: hopefully you have a backup plan for weather and we go with it. Rain coats and umbrellas are in style and they say a little rain makes for good stories on a wedding day.

For portrait sessions: call me! I understand that no one wants to be cold and wet for photos; we can reschedule for the next available date.
