In the unlikely event Client(s) is unhappy with photographs it will be at the discretion of Jennifer Suntych Photography to offer a one time reshoot at half price of the original session fee to Client(s).

It is ILLEGAL to copy, scan, download, print, share, alter, screen shot or otherwise steal any image created by Jennifer Suntych Photography during Client(s) photo session. This applies to "sneak peek" images, images posted in an online proofing gallery, blog, Facebook, or hard copy images. If client steals images via any method listed above, or any other method, client will be invoiced for the cost of EACH digital image client has stolen, at photographer’s current price per digital file.

Note from photographer: I work very hard to create images that reflect you and your family, while keeping in line with my artistic vision and creativity. I know you will want to share them and include a sneak-peek for that very reason. However, I ask that you simply link back to my blog/website/facebook page instead of right-clicking, saving, and sharing the image via your own page. I hope that you will respect not only my hard work, but the time, money, and dedication that I have put into training and equipment to capture these images for you. Please do not steal them.
