Studio Policies
Clear terms,
no surprises.
These policies exist to protect both you and us — so we can focus on making great work together.
01
Booking & Payments
Retainer
A non-refundable retainer fee of 25% is required at the time of booking to secure your date and time. Wedding and full-day coverage requires a 50% retainer.
Final Payment
The remaining balance is due on or before the day of your session.
Late Arrival
Your session starts at the scheduled time. Time lost to late arrival is deducted from your session. If you are more than 20 minutes late, the session may be canceled at our discretion and your retainer forfeited.
02
Rescheduling & Cancellations
Client Rescheduling
You may reschedule your session once with at least 48 hours' notice at no extra cost. Reschedules made with less than 48 hours' notice may incur a $50 fee.
Weather
For outdoor shoots, if weather is unsuitable — heavy rain, storms, or unsafe conditions — we will reschedule at the first available mutual date at no extra charge.
Cancellations
If you cancel and do not wish to reschedule, the retainer fee remains non-refundable. If we must cancel due to illness or emergency, you will receive a full refund and priority rebooking.
03
Delivery & Editing
Timeline
Your fully edited digital gallery will be delivered within 15–20 business days of your session. Peak seasons may extend this slightly — you'll be notified in advance.
Editing Style
All photos include standard color correction and lighting adjustments in my signature style. Each image is individually reviewed and refined.
Enhanced Edits
Premium Package clients receive minor blemish removal and advanced skin retouching. Requests for heavy body manipulation or major background changes are not included and may incur an additional fee.
RAW Files
Unedited RAW files are not provided. This ensures the quality and integrity of the work delivered under my name.
04
Usage & Copyright
Ownership
Sandra Patrice retains the legal copyright to all images created during your session.
Personal Use
All clients receive a license to print and share images for personal, non-commercial use.
Commercial Use
Only the Classic and Premium packages include a license for business or promotional use. If you require commercial licensing on another package, please contact us.
Social Media
When sharing on social media, a credit to @PhotoBySandraPatrice is always appreciated — though never required.
