- The Photographer reserves the right to be the sole editor of the images. Neither the Client nor anyone hired by the Client may retouch or modify the photographs without written permission. This includes applying filters or converting images from color to black and white.
7. Image Delivery and Reproduction
- The final edited images will be delivered in digital format within four to five weeks of the session. Depending on the season and workload, this delivery time can increase to six weeks.
- The Client acknowledges that the Photographer’s services are unique and artistic. The Client understands and agrees that the Photographer has a unique and evolving style, and the photos may be different from past work. The Photographer will use personal artistic judgment to create images based on their vision, which might differ from the Client’s. Therefore, the Client cannot reject the photos based on taste or aesthetics. We believe in delivering a unique and personalized experience for each Client.
- The Client understands that the editing will include basic retouching, color correction, special effects, color adjustments, white balance, and similar processes. The Photographer will make these edits at their discretion, intending to create or enhance an artistic image.
- Due to photochromatic anomalies in certain dyes and materials, exact color reproduction on camera may be impossible. The Photographer will strive for a pleasing overall color balance based on natural flesh tones, but some color inconsistencies may occur.
- Due to the limitations of computer/phone displays, images may appear differently according to the specification of each display and prints will not match images rendered on any monitor.

- In the event of force majeure, the affected party shall promptly notify the other party of the nature and extent of the circumstances giving rise to the force majeure.
- If a session cannot occur on the scheduled date due to a force majeure event, both parties agree to reschedule it at the earliest possible mutually convenient date. The non-refundable booking fee will be applied to the rescheduled session.
