Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions:-

A digital gallery will be created for you on my secure site where you can view your images and download your selection.

During your photo session I will take as many photos as possible, giving you the opportunity to make your own selection.

Please note that our packages do not include prints. Additional digital images/negatives can be purchased from us @ a cost of R20 per image. Prints and gifts can also be ordered through us once you have viewed your images.

Pricing is listed on our secure online site.

Packages are not set in stone. You are welcome to contact me for a quote that would suit your specific requirements.

Payment:- all packages require a 50% booking fee upon booking of your appointment to secure your date. The balance is payable on the day of the shoot.  Booking Fees are non-refundable upon cancellation.

Please remember, if you have not paid your booking fee and send through your booking form, it’s not considered a booking. We can’t keep the date for you. We have lots of people enquiring on a daily basis and it would not be business savvy for us to keep a date for you in case you still want to come.

All images are colour corrected and digitally enhanced.  Any advanced editing will be subject to an additional charge of R100 per image. All images will be in colour, you can also select some images to be in black and white or with a filter.

Please allow ±two weeks for editing to be completed and photo gallery to be uploaded.

Copyright:- I retain the copyright of all the images and I reserve the right to use the photographs for PR and promotional purposes.

I have a variety of props available, but you are welcome to bring some of your own.

If you are late, this time will be deducted from the shooting time.

Please note that we have a small and intimate studio.  Our studio can accommodate 5 people at the most.  If you would like to include more people, please book a lifestyle/location session.

What to wear:-

Avoid clothes with bright patterns. Rather go for solid colours.

Blue jeans with plain tops work best.

Ladies should avoid baby doll dresses and shirts as these can easily add a few kg’s.

Wear clothes that you are comfortable in. If you feel self-conscious you will not photograph well.

In case of group photos, plan ahead and try to select a colour scheme that does not clash.

Take into account that babies and toddlers do not enjoy getting dressed and undressed.  Try to keep outfit changes to a minimum.

Make-up and hairstyling:-

The studio does not have an in-house make-up artist or hairstylist. Please arrange for your hair and make-up to be done before hand if you feel that you require a more stylish or polished looked.

It is however not necessary to have your hair and make-up done by a professional for your family photos. It is a personal choice and if you are comfortable doing your own, please do so. Especially if you would like to appear more natural.

Babies and Toddles:-

Bring your child’s favourite toys with. This will calm them down and I can use it to personalise the photos.

Make sure your child is well rested and fed before the shoot. Try and book your photo session with your child’s napping time in mind.

In the event that your child is feeling under the weather, please reschedule. Sick children will not feel up for a photo shoot, leaving you disappointed with the end product.

Do not schedule a photo shoot for your baby or toddler within three days after an inoculation. Inoculations can make your baby feel miserable.

Keep in mind, that if your baby/toddler is not used to strangers or leaving the house, your photo session might not be the wonderful experience you envisioned.  Babies/toddlers that stay at home with a single caretaker and never leave the house, find the photography experience challenging and frightening.  Keep your child’s personality and character in mind when booking your photo session.
