Before booking a photo shoot... read the fine details.

Scheduling & Cancellations

You may schedule your photo shoot as far in advance as you would like. I prefer 1 to 2 weeks prior booking and deposit in order to square away details and ideas. Short notice scheduling is welcomed but surely not preferred. I would rather work out the details of my clients photo shoot needs and prepare accordingly. It really does make a difference in the outcome of your photos.

Arriving late to your photo shoot is your business and frowned upon. The session will start at the time booked. If you arrive late and still want more time on set, a minimum hourly fee of $125 will apply, if I can accommodate and do not have any other obligations after your original scheduled time.

Deposit Payment Re-Shoots

A %50 non-refundable deposit is due upon booking in order to reserve your shoot date. The remaining fee is due at the time of service, on your shoot date. Your time and date is not reserved until the deposit is received full and clear. Once your deposit is made, I will not schedule any other business or photo shoot on that time frame agreed upon for the specific date. Therefore, the deposit is non-refundable upon cancellation with less than 48 hour notice. If you cancel with less than 48 notice, you forfeit your deposit and may not reschedule without a new deposit. Re-scheduling may occur to save your deposit if you give at least 48 hours notice and the date is rescheduled within 2 weeks of the original reserved date or if there is a family emergency or serious illness. I cannot always guarantee an available date two weeks out but will try my best to accommodate. Re-scheduling of the date due to bad weather may occur at my discretion only.

Cash, money order, Pay-Pal and checks are accepted forms of payment. Payments by check will have a 7 day hold on the printed images regardless of a rush status. Please make checks payable to Adrian Adel.

Re-Shoots will only occur if there is a lighting or equipment malfunction at my discretion.

Locations and Studio Options

I offer on location photo shoots as well as photo shoots in your home or location of choice. I have scouted local key locations so if you are stumped for ideas, just let me know! You are more than welcome to choose more than one location for your portraits. Studio sessions are available with advance booking.

Model Release Signature and Agreement

All clients must sign a model release form that will ensure and protect the copyright to my work as well enforce the guidelines listed in this document. Signing the agreement means that you understand all of the information given to you here . If you are under the age of 18, your parent or guardian must sign for you. Agreement must be signed at the time of booking/deposit payment.

Reviewing Your Images

You will receive an online gallery link to review your images within 7 business days of your shoot date. It is forbidden to take any kind of snapshot of the proofs. The proofs are for review only and are not to be used in any other manner other than review. Taking pictures of and or uploading snapshots of the proofs to the internet or social websites will result in a copyright usage fee of $50 per image that will have to be paid in full before package/session prints are delivered.
