The balance must be paid on the day of the session.

Limit of liability
​
In the unlikely event that photographs are lost, stolen or destroyed for reasons beyond our control, liability is limited to the return of all payments received for the session. Limit of liability for a partial loss will be prorated based on the percentage lost.
Printing
​
Print release is provided which permits the client to print the images as they wish, and as many times as they wish. However the photographer cannot be held responsible for poor quality prints or other products, including poor colour, cropping, or any issues that alter image quality due to using a third party printing lab.. To maintain quality it is recommended to avoid supermarket and high street stores for printing. If you prefer, the photographer can provide prints via a professional lab but this will incur additional costs for the products.
It is a condition of booking that the client accepts the above terms and conditions.
