POLICIES AND TERMS
Before the Session
A non-refundable session retainer is required to book and hold the date for your session. Sessions can be paid via credit card or by check. (See email for details).

CANCELLATION POLICY: If client cancels session, client forefeits their session retainer. However, the fee can be credited towards a future session.

kml photography will not cancel or reschedule a session due to forecasted weather, including but not limited to predicted rain or snow, excess wind, clouds, etc. We will keep an eye on the weather the day of the session and move the session to a new time or a new location if necessary. In the event that the weather is not cooperative and kml photography deems it necessary to postpone/reschedule because a new time or location is not possible on the scheduled day, then the session will be rescheduled for a mutually agreeable date/time.

kml photography does not cancel or reschedule sessions due to clouds. In fact, cloudy days are great for portrait sessions because of the even light they create and the lack of squinting!

If kml photography cannot perform this Agreement due to fire or other casualty, strike, act of God, or other cause beyond the control of the parties, or due to Photographer’s illness or emergency, then the Photographer shall return the retainer fee to the Client but shall have no further liability with respect to the Agreement. This limitation on liability shall also apply in the event that photographic materials are damaged in processing, lost through camera or other media malfunction, lost in the mail, or otherwise lost or damaged without fault on the part of the Photographer.

I understand and acknowledge that kml photography has no control over wind, bright sunshine, weather, noseeums, other bugs, seaweed etc. and will not refund monies paid or reschedule a session due to these and other nuisances during your session. If there is a concern about these sort of nuisances, then kml photography suggests Client choose an alternative location (ie: inland, shaded) for their session.

It is suggested that beach sessions take place at an hour prior to sundown to avoid bright sun and squinting. Client understands and acknowledges that an sessions taking place in a non-shady location may result in bright sun spots and squinting any time of day, but especially those scheduled prior to sundown.
