Client agrees to pay the full amount due ($400) to book Client’s shoot on Photographer’s calendar. Client understands and agrees that Photographer is foregoing other employment by entering into this Agreement to secure the Client’s session date/time on the Photographer’s calendar, and therefore, also agrees and understands that 50% of the paid amount ($200) is nonrefundable. Rescheduling/Canceling. Photographer may reschedule the session due to Photographer’s illness or inclement weather and will work with Client’s schedule to reschedule as soon as possible. If Client needs to reschedule due to illness of anyone involved in the session, Client will do his/her best to notify Photographer at least 48 hours prior to the session, or at least as soon as possible after the issue is identified. The paid session fee can be transferred to another day and time upon the rescheduling of a session, so long as the rescheduled session takes place within 3 months of the original session date, otherwise the retainer fee will be forfeited. If the Client cancels a session for any reason and does not reschedule within the provided three (3) month period, the Client will forfeit the nonrefundable 50% fee. Digital Files.
