Session Agreement

This contract has been designed so you know exactly what a session with Serena Gene Photography/ Serena Martineau entails and it helps ensure that I am able to deliver fully to your expectations. Please read all information vigilantly. If you wish, feel free to print a copy for yourself before submitting. If you have any questions, please let me know prior to the session. Thank you so much, I look forward to taking your pictures!

SESSIONS

1) Non-refundable CREATIVE FEE covers my time and talent only. This fee also secures your session date and current prices. Credits and pricing expire 30 days after the proofing gallery is posted.

2) Please note, you are responsible for covering additional fees and costs related to location choice (admission fees, parking, etc.). Travel up to 30 miles from 84737 is included. Time and travel outside of this area will be invoiced. Certain sessions are exempt from fees. (More information is available upon request.)

3) I ask that there please be no other cameras allowed at the photo session due to the distraction of the subject/s (especially to for the younger children). Additional cameras also prevent me from being able to do my job successfully.

4) I would never want to photograph someone who wasn’t feeling there best. If you or your child becomes ill, please contact me as soon as possible to reschedule. I maintain the right to reschedule if needed due to inclement weather, illness, emergency, etc. Requests for rescheduling or re-shoots are granted only at my discretion.

5) Please mindful of you and your child/children’s safety during a session. If I am focusing on one subject I can not be attentive of other subjects that are not in my frame of view. By entering your name below you are confirming that any harm or damage that you or your party may have inflicted/inflict will be at your cost alone and I will not be held responsible. Also please be considerate of the location. I strive to leave each location in the state that it was upon our arrival.

PROOFING AND ORDERING

6) Within 2 weeks after the session—most often sooner--I will post your proofs (25-35) in a password protected gallery online. This gallery will be hosted for 7 days. Please be prepared to place your order in that 7 days allotted time. There is a $25 charge to upload your gallery for an extra day. If you place your order within 72 hours, you will receive a complimentary gift print!

7) If your slideshow appears to be either darker or to lighter than what my images normally appear as, please check the calibration of your monitor. If you have a problem viewing your images please contact me immediately.

8) Be sure to view your images carefully. All images on slideshow will be enhanced. Once you’ve decided on your favorite images to order I will then give that image an additional enactment to rid it of any possible blemishes or flaws. If you have a request for a small change to an image, please let me know when you place your order. I can attend to minor changes at no cost (fix blemishes, tighter crop, etc.), but more involved requests are billed at $25/hr. I will advise you if there will be any extra charges before work is begun. Once the requested changes are made, charges apply regardless if the final product is purchased.

9) Creative privilege - there are times when an image needs a certain crop or a particular treatment. I will do my best to match your tastes and style, but I need to have the freedom to decide how to make an image look its absolute best.

10) Please be mindful that I cannot begin design work or processing orders until payment is complete.

11) Please be prepared to place your order during the 7-day period when your gallery is posted. This is strictly to uphold a speedy workflow and to help prevent backlogging for other clients. There is a $75 minimum for re-orders & current pricing applies.

YOUR IMAGE CD

12) I will provide detailed printing instructions along with your CD and copyright release. Your images will be cropped and colored how I believe they will print the best. Some images (particularly those shot in low light) may have visible film grain when enlarged too much. This is normal, but may not be aesthetic. In addition, if you crop an image in too tightly, you will lose resolution and may cause it to be pixilated when enlarged. To ensure the best print quality, try to avoid altering your images before printing. If in doubt, just ask me. I am not responsible for printing errors or for excellence of prints or products not printed directly by me.

DESIGN WORK

13) If you purchase items that require design work, I will check with you first to get your input on the images, colors, text, etc. for the design. Try to be as precise as possible. I will then create a design doing my best to integrate your requests. You allotted three small changes to that design (change a color, change text, change out a picture). Additional changes will be billed at $25/hr. Again, I will let you know if there are extra charges before work is begun. Once the requested changes are made, charges apply regardless if the final product is purchased.

15) Since a coffee table book is a larger design, you can make up to 10 small changes at no charge; further changes will be billed as previously described.

16) Try to keep in mind that there is a great deal of time and planning that goes into layouts, so adding, deleting, or moving pictures around can be quite complex and may affect several aspects of the overall design.

OTHER

17) Checks returned by the bank for any reason will be charged a $25.00 service charge and sessions/orders will be cancelled if they are not paid in full within three days of notification.

18) Serena Gene Photography retains copyrights on all images (even those purchased on CD) and reserves the right to use the images and/or reproductions for display, publication, or other purposes. (For any major publications or marketing I will contact you first so you are at least aware.) “All rights” pricing is available. Under no circumstances can a client use these images for profit, commercial endeavors, in competitions, or for professional display without my/ Serena Martineau’s consent.

19) Please do not copy images you have not purchased. Copying or scanning images from your gallery, my website, the blog, facebook, or from other printed materials is considered stealing, regardless of the intent for use.

20) Credits and special offers are non-transferable and are not redeemable for cash.

21) A new session cannot be scheduled until ordering is complete on a past session.

23) There is no minimum purchase for each individual session but in order to receive your CD you must have a minimum of a $300 pint order.

23) ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
