RESHOOTING

Once we have begun shooting I will make a point to show you the images we are getting as we go along to make sure you are happy with the outcome. I may also ask you to indicate which images you "love" by rating them, this gives me an idea of what your preferences are. If you end off your session with me, happy with your images, but then get home and look over your images once delivered and still aren't happy with them, not because of photographer error, but because of style or look or other factors beyond the photographers control, I will gladly rebook you at 1/2 the price of your original session. If all you need is a ONE shot retake, that will be rebooked for free. 

DEPOSITS

You will be asked at the time of booking to pay a non-refundable* deposit towards the full price of your session. (*non refundable if you cancel within 7 days of your shoot date). Amount depends on the price of the service you are requesting.

For weddings and mitzvahs, a non-refundable reservation fee of 50% of your total package price is due upon booking of session time in order to hold that spot for you and your party.  Payment can be sent via check or PayPal. 

FORMS OF PAYMENT

Forms of payment accepted are Cash, Zelle,Venmo, or Personal checks made to: Shelly Hamalian OR  Venmo (@Shelly-Hamalian).  The remainder of your session fee is due in full on the day your photos are taken.
