Retainer Fee & Payment

Portrait Sessions:

At the time of booking, a $100 non-refundable retainer fee is required to reserve your session date and time, in addition to the signed contract which will be sent to you digitally. This will come out of the overall balance and the remainder is due either before or at the session. Please visit the F.A.Q page for information regarding rescheduling and cancellations.

Credit Card Payments:

Because we are a small business, we are not required to accept credit cards. However to fit the needs of all clients, we have chosen to include them as a payment option. A 3% “convenience fee” will be added and charged for each credit card transaction. These fees are charged by the service providers we use to handle credit card transactions. A settlement was recently reached between retailers and credit card companies allowing small businesses to apply this fee.
