This document is a contractual agreement made between: Chanel Pariseau (referred to hereafter as “Photographer”) and Client.

AGREEMENT TERMS

 

PORTRAIT SESSION: Client is guaranteed up to 30-60 minutes of shoot time. Their exact time is listed in their booking. Boudoir Sessions are time constrained therefore it is the responsibility of the client to arrive on time.

Client understands that by entering into this agreement, Photographer is foregoing other photographic jobs. In the event of a cancellation or postponement of the portrait session/agreement by Client, the amounts paid are non-refundable. Forty-eight hours notice of postponements or cancellations is appreciated. Said notice does not result in refund nor transfer of funds.

WEATHER + LIGHTING:

Be aware of the time of your session -- Boudoir generally takes place indoors. However; if we host outdoor sessions the weather will play a role. If the sessions are rescheduled due to weather - all parties will be informed. We do not take boudoir session after two hours before sunset - this is due to the lack of natural light. If a client insists on an evening session they are aware this results in artificial lighting, flash and grainy images.

All clients must by 18 years or older to participate in a boudoir session. Proper ID may be required. Falsely providing information will result in immediate action; including but not limited to deletion of all materials and galleries.

Photographer is not responsible if Client and/or key individuals fail to appear or cooperate during portrait sessions. If the photo session must be rescheduled due to clients cooperation where the photographer has traveled to reach the destination, additional travel fees will apply.Clients will arrive 15 minutes early to change and be ready to go.
