The purpose of the deposit is to lock in your date & time. If you cancel last minute, I most likely would have been able to book someone else during that period.

If the weather is crazy/act of god/I am sick/etc, we will put your deposit toward a re-schedule. However, if you simply don’t show up to the session, the deposit will not be refunded. If you have booked a portrait, family, or content creator session and need to reschedule, your deposit can be put toward a re-schedule as long as I am notified within 14 days of your session. I get it— life happens. However, if you need to cancel and do not want to re-schedule, your deposit is not refunded.

As a photographer, maintaining clear communication and setting mutual expectations is a fundamental part of my process. I encourage you to thoroughly read through my FAQs, review my portfolio, and take time to choose a location and outfit that resonate with you, as these steps will significantly contribute to delivering results you love.
