Section 4 — Editing & Retouching Standards
- Every delivered image is colour-corrected, exposure-balanced, straightened and cropped.
- Standard retouching removes temporary blemishes, stray hairs and small distractions.
- We do not reshape bodies or faces as a matter of course. Ask if you want it and we will discuss it honestly.
- Advanced work — head swaps, background replacement, composites — is quoted separately.
- Unedited or RAW files are not released; the edit is part of the work you are commissioning.
Section 5 — Turnaround
- Sneak-peek images: 2–3 working days after the session.
- Full gallery: 10–15 working days for portrait and family, 3 weeks for events and branding.
- Album design proof: 2 weeks after your image selection is final.
- Prints and wall art: 7–14 days from the lab once the order is approved.
Section 6 — Prints, Albums & Wall Art
- All printing goes through a professional lab — not a consumer print service.
- Fine-art paper and archival inks rated for 75+ years without noticeable fading.
- Albums are lay-flat with thick pages and a linen or leather cover, 20 to 60 sides.
- Wall art in framed print, canvas, acrylic and metal, from 8×10 up to 40×60 inches.
- Every print is colour-proofed against our calibrated screens so what you see is what arrives.
Section 7 — Booking, Deposits & Rescheduling
- A date is held only once the booking agreement is signed and the deposit has cleared.
- Deposit is 30% of the session fee and is non-refundable; the balance is due on the session day.
- Reschedule free of charge with more than 7 days’ notice; inside 7 days the deposit is forfeited.
- Illness and family emergencies are handled humanely — tell us and we will move the date.
- Bad weather on an outdoor shoot: we decide together the morning of, and reschedule at no cost.
Section 8 — Galleries, Archives & Backups
- Your online gallery stays open for 90 days from delivery — download everything within that window.
- Gallery reactivation after it closes: a small fee covers re-hosting.
- We keep finished images archived for 12 months across two separate backups, one of them off-site.
- After 12 months files may be deleted. Please keep your own copy in at least two places.
Section 9 — Copyright & Image Use
- The studio retains copyright in all images, as is standard in photography.
- You receive a personal-use licence: print, share, and post freely for non-commercial purposes.
- Please do not apply filters or crops that materially alter an image before posting it.
- Commercial and advertising use requires a separate licence, quoted on request.
- We only use your images in our portfolio if your signed release permits it — and you can withdraw that at any time.
Section 10 — Travel & Location Fees
- No travel charge within 30 km of the studio.
- 30–100 km: a flat travel fee per session.
- Beyond 100 km, or anything needing an overnight stay: quoted individually before booking.
- Venue permits, park fees and paid parking are passed on at cost with the receipt attached.
