The Fine Print

 

Photography Fee

Digital Package prices are non-negotiable and are locked in once your Booking Fee/Deposit has been received.

 

Booking Fee/Deposit: $100

This fee is due at the time of booking to reserve your session. This payment guarantees your photo shoot on my calendar and locks in your pricing.

 

The Booking Fee/Deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable.

 

Your remaining Balance is due on or before the day of the photography session, prior to the session taking place. If you have any questions, please email Andriana at dyakova@mail.com.

​

Late Fees

I strongly recommend planning to arrive at least 10-15 minutes early to account for any transportation issues, etc.  If you are running late, please text or call your photographer immediately to let them know!  I respect every single client's time and put an incredible amount of effort into scheduling and planning a session, so please respect mine. 

 

If you are 10+ minutes late:

You will be charged a $30 penalty. Your photographer will work for the remainder of your allotted session timeframe; and subject to their schedule, they can extend if there’s availability, but please note that an extension is not guaranteed. Your 'arrival time' is when you have met up with your photographer and are ready to take the first picture.

 

If you are 20+ minutes late:

You will be charged a $60 penalty. Depending on your photographer’s schedule and availability, you may still have a shoot, but it is not guaranteed. As a no-show, Andriana will require a $100 nonrefundable booking fee for your next session where the fee can be applied towards your package price. Your 'arrival time' is when you have met up with your photographer and are ready to take the first picture.
