This document is a contractual agreement made between: MK Photography and Client.

By booking a session with me you're automatically signing this photography agreement.

AGREEMENT TERMS

SESSION: Client is guaranteed up to shoot time per session. Photographer is not responsible if client and/or key individuals fail to appear or cooperate during portrait sessions. Photographer’s camera is the only camera allowed at the photo session because of the distraction.

CANCELLATION/POSTPONEMENT: Client understands that by entering into this agreement, Photographer is foregoing other photographic jobs. In the event of a cancellation or postponement of the session/agreement by Client, the amounts paid are non-refundable. Twenty-four hours' notice of postponements or cancellations is required.

WEATHER: If it is not possible for a session to take place on a scheduled day due to weather, Photographer and Client will reschedule on an agreed date at the earliest date possible, with no additional charge.

COOPERATION/NO SHOWS: 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 client’s cooperation where the photographer has traveled to reach the destination, additional travel fees will apply.

COPYRIGHT: All images are copyrighted to and remain the property of MKPhotography.

CLIENT’S USAGE: Client is obtaining digital files and a print release. Client understands that Photographer is not responsible for color and print quality for prints obtained through vendors outside of MK Photography. Prints obtained through MK Photography are for personal use only. Client shall not sell said prints or authorize any reproductions by parties other than Photographer. Prints for publication (such as editorial, public relations or advertising use) require prior written consent from Photographer. Images received from MK Photography may not be altered from their original version in any way.

LIMIT OF LIABILITY: MK Photography takes the utmost care with respect to the exposure, retouching, and transportation of digital captures, proofs and prints. However, in the unlikely event that all the originals are lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed within or beyond Photographer’s control, Photographer’s liability is limited to the refund of all payments received, or a reshoot can be scheduled at no additional cost. The limit of liability for partial loss or damage of originals shall be a prorated amount of the total amount, based on the percentage of originals lost or damaged. In the unlikely event that Photographer is injured or becomes too ill to attend the session, Photographer will make every effort to reschedule to the earliest possible date.

PRINT LIFE: Client is aware that color dyes and inks in non-archival prints may fade or discolor over time due to the inherent qualities of dyes and inks, and Client releases Photographer from any liability for claims whatsoever based upon the fading or discoloration due to the inherent qualities when prints are not purchased from photographer. 

SESSION FEES: There are a variety of sessions.   A 20% deposit retainer fee is due for each session after booking a session an invoice will be sent &/or text or emailed with payment due using either credit or debit only. The remaining balance of the session booked is due at the time of the client's session; an invoice will be sent, and a payment will be requested before shooting begins by either credit, debt or cash during the session; receipts will be provided.

PRINT FEES: Prints through the photographer must be inquired. All prints include standard retouching and shipping through the U.S. Postal Service. Prints generally ship via Priority Mail two to four weeks after Client’s print order has been paid in full.  A 50% rush fee is applied to the cost of each rush print. 

ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This agreement contains the entire understanding between Photographer and Client. It supersedes all prior agreements between the parties.
