Cancelation and Reschedule Policy
Reschedule policy
In the event that you find yourself unable to make it to your scheduled session, we kindly request a minimum of 7days advance notice. This ensures that you won’t incur a cancellation fee of $100.
As a small, family-owned business, our portrait session slots are limited. Your cooperation in providing us with a 7 day period enables us to potentially fill that time with another booking. Otherwise, we regretfully lose the opportunity. Your understanding and consideration are greatly appreciated.
Rescheduling due to an emergency/illness
We understand that unforeseen situations like children falling ill or emergencies can arise. In such cases, we’re committed to collaborating with you to identify an alternative date that suits your schedule. Should you need to reschedule due to illness or emergencies, your initial confirmation fee will be transferred to the newly selected date.
It’s important to keep in mind: If additional rescheduling is necessary, a fresh confirmation fee will be required.
