It is one thing to hire a professional photographer to create images, it's another thing to actually do something with them.  As you go through this creative process, it's important to decide how you want to display images from your session.

Model Release:

The release permits the use of the session images in our portfolio, including use on future promotional material (either printed or electronic) and on the Locked In Photography website. It permits us to use your images for national and local print competition through Professional Photographers of America, and allows us to submit your images for fine-art gallery review. It also allows us to post sneak peek previews of your session on the Locked In Photography blog and/or on Facebook or social media. Please note: we protect our clients privacy and never reveal personal information on the blog.

Studio Policies:

Your Session:

The session fee is for the time and talent of the photographer only, and does not include any prints or an USB unless purchased. The session fee is due at the time of booking. Checks returned by the bank for any reason will be charges a $25 service fee and your session will be cancelled if not paid in full within 5 days.

Rescheduling/Re-Shoots: Requests for rescheduling/re-shoots are granted at my discretion. If you have a sick child on the day of the session please call to reschedule. If you try to keep the appointment, we will most likely request that you reschedule if we notice your child is sick. Sick or uncomfortable children do not like to be photographed and we know that you will not love your portraits nearly as much as if he or she was in good health. I reserve the right to reschedule if needed due to inclement weather, illness, emergency, ect.  Failure to show up on the date and time of your session will result int your session fee being forfeited.

Wendy and her staff do capture many images during your session, you will see only those images selected by her, for previewing. We carefully render each image to ensure maximum artistry and technical perfection. Images with eyes closed, heads turned, duplicates, etc. will not be shown and are removed from my archives permanently after the artist rendering is complete. We always strive for excellence!

Once a print order is sent to the lab or a digital order is delivered, it is deemed nonrefundable.
