Reservation:
Upon your digital agreement and payment of your non-refundable deposit, Katie Sue Photography will reserve the time and date agreed upon, and will not make other reservations for that time and date. The reservation is non-refundable. The reservation is applied towards the contracted photography service. THE CLIENT (you) understands and agrees that the entire amount owed for the photography service is due by the scheduled photo shoot day.
​
​
Location & Suitable Conditions:
I AGREE to be responsible for (or have someone designated for this responsibility) identifying people/objects of whom/which specific photos are desired. Katie Sue Photography will NOT be held accountable for not providing photos of desired scenes or people if there is no one to assist in identifying or gathering people for the photo shoot.
​
I AGREE to designate the agreed upon time as time for Katie Sue Photography to shoot the photos. If the staff’s late arrival (or any other reason outside of the photographer’s control) prevents the shoot from occurring or limits, the session will begin from the predetermined time set by both THE CLIENT and KATIE SUE PHOTOGRAPHY, regardless of if the customer is late or not.
​
If weather conditions, that risk the health and safety of persons or equipment, prevent the session for commencing, Katie Sue Photography or THE CLIENT may request to reschedule the session for an alternate location or another date within 2 weeks of the original scheduled date.
​
​
Shooting Time/Additions:
The shooting schedule and selected methodology are designed to accomplish the goals and wishes of THE CLIENT in a manner enjoyed by all parties involved. THE CLIENT and KATIE SUE PHOTOGRAPHY agree that positive cooperation and punctuality are therefore essential. Shooting commences at the scheduled time. Should the scheduled shooting time start late due to any reason whatsoever, KATIE SUE PHOTOGRAPHY will not be held liable for any photos not taken.
If THE CLIENT is not present by 15 minutes past the agreed upon time, it will result in the immediate departure of the photographer. THE CLIENT understands that in such an event, no refunds will be granted.
​
​
Cooperation:
The parties agree to positive cooperation and communication for the best possible result within the definition of this assignment. Katie Sue Photography is not responsible for key individuals’ failure to be present or to cooperate during the shoot, neither for missed photos due to details not revealed to KATIE SUE PHOTOGRAPHY.
​
I ACKNOWLEDGE that I and other persons participating are responsible for their conduct. THE CLIENT will direct all persons to provide any needed information and cooperation to the photographer. Coordination with all participating persons is necessary to complete all the photography sessions as scheduled. THE CLIENT should share the photography schedule with all parties involved to make sure that there is no conflict in times.
Katie Sue Photography will not tolerate verbal or physically abusive behavior. Unchecked conduct that interferes with the photo shoot may seriously affect the quality of the photos taken and increase the number of times the photos must be retaken. If THE CLIENT is unable to control the conduct of their person(s), resulting in an unacceptable degree of misconduct, or if the conduct of any of their associated parties damages the equipment of the photographer, it will result in the early or immediate departure of the photographer. THE CLIENT understands that in such an event, no refunds will be granted.
