Lexilu Photography Policies
_Deposit: A deposit is required to save your session. If a deposit is not paid your session is not guaranteed and may be given to someone else.
Payments: No client will be given their images unless their balance is paid in full, unless stated in their contract.
Payment Options: Due to the high credit card merchant fees Lexilu Photography does not accept credit card payments. You may pay by check or paypal. Paypal has a 3% fee that will be added to the cost to cover charges. The preferred payment option is check. If you need to mail your check please contact us and we will provide an address to mail it to.
Travel Fees: All sessions are subject to travel fees. Travel fees are based on round trip mileage from Google Maps and rated at .50 per mile. Sessions more that 60 miles from our studio may also incur 2 nights lodging fee at a hotel.
Before Your Session: Please have your children dressed and ready to go for their session. This includes hair combing and having their faces clean. Children are more likely to become grouchy if they are fussed with too much before the session. During the session, please let me interact with the children, trust me...I am nutty enough to get them to smile...or relax. If mom and dad are in the photos, please, just smile for the camera...when the child is also looking we grab the shot.
Time: Being on time is so very important to me and I make every effort to arrive to all my sessions at the time agreed upon. If you will be more than 5 minutes late please contact me at immediately at the number provided in your confirmation email. If your session time has to be extended due to tardiness an additional $75.00 will be added to your session fee. In some cases if you will be more than 30 minutes late your session will be rescheduled.
Under the Weather: If your or a member of the party being photographed is feeling ill, please call to reschedule. We understand that sometimes, this happens. If you must cancel, please try to do so at least 48 hours before your session.
Re-Shoots: Re-shoots are at the discretion of the photographer; and are not given for regretful personal choices such as hair and clothing choices.
Editing: To edit a session takes me between 2-4 weeks, but may take longer depending on the number of photos and complexion editing needed.. Weddings are estimated to take between 6 to 8 weeks, but may take longer depending on the number of photos and complexion editing needed. I personally edit each photo for you. Once the session is edited I post the images on my website under the “Client Galleries ” section. You will receive an email once this has been completed along with an access code. Please allow me to contact you when it is ready.
Need your images sooner? If for some reason you need your images sooner than normal, a $75.00 expedite fee will need to be paid. Please let us know at the time of your session if this is needed.
Retouching: Any retouching beyond the basic retouching, ( we automatically do small facial scars, blemishes) will be charged a fee of $50 per hour.
Usage: Lexilu Photography Studio reserves the right to use the negatives and/or reproductions for display, publication, or other purposes. Negatives and originals remain the property of Lexilu Photography Studio
