Portrait Agreement Terms & Conditions
Session, Fees and Charges
A Session Fee (the fee you pay to book your session) is due in order to secure the session date and time. Jessica Jane Photography has the right to give the session date and time to another client if the session fee has not been received one week prior to the session.
Session Types and Inclusions
Current inclusions and current fees are available here: https://www.jessicajanephotography.com.au/contact/
Time and travel greater than 10 minutes will be charged at $50 per hour each way. Travel fees will be invoiced prior to the session date.
I would never want to photograph someone who wasn’t feeling 100%. If someone becomes ill, please call as soon as possible to reschedule. Requests for rescheduling or re-shoots require 24 hours notice and are available at my discretion.
Sessions may be rescheduled if weather conditions will hinder the shoot (such as heavy rain).
If the Photographer cannot perform this Agreement in whole or in part due to causes beyond the control of the parties (e.g. fire, casualty, acts of nature) or due to Photographer’s illness or injury, then all fees will be returned to the Client(s), but the Photographer shall have no further liability with respect to this Agreement.
This limitation on liability shall also apply in the event that photographic materials are damaged in processing, lost through camera malfunction, or otherwise lost or damaged without fault on the part of the Photographer. All precautionary measures in relation to equipment will be taken, e.g. the photographer will provide a backup camera, lenses, spare batteries and memory cards.
The Client will not hold the Photographer, or the owner of the property where the session is held, liable for any injury that may occur during the session.
The Photographer will not be held responsible for the behaviour of children on the day, e.g. behaviour resulting in it being impossible to photograph. A re-shoot will be offered with the payment of another session fee.
The Photographer cannot guarantee a certain pose, look, or recreated image.
Delivery
All sessions include full digital delivery — no printed products or physical items are included.
Digital images will be delivered via an online gallery within [4 weeks] of the session date. Special care and time are taken to beautifully edit each image for the client gallery.
Additional editing and Photoshop work: images provided include basic retouching (removal of blemishes, skin smoothing, reduction of dark lines under eyes). Further custom or client-directed retouching is available for an additional $20 per image.
With your permission, as indicated on your intake form, a small selection of favourite images from your session may be shared on our website and/or social media.
Digital galleries will remain available for download for [3 months] from the date of delivery. Please download and back up your images within this time, as galleries will be removed after this period and images cannot be recovered.
Purchased digital files are provided in high resolution. You can print in high quality up to 20×30″. Your files are provided at 300 dpi — ensure you use a high-quality printer requiring 300dpi for the best results.
Payment plans are available with administrative fees applied.
Copyright and Reproductions
Photographer’s Rights
The Photographer retains full copyright to all images created. Reproductions may be made for the Client, and — in accordance with the sharing preference selected by the Client on their intake form — for the Photographer’s portfolio, marketing materials, website, social media, competition entries, art exhibitions, and editorial use.
Client’s Usage
The Client may use the images for personal use only, which includes sharing with family and friends. Images may not be sold or used commercially. The Client may use images for newspaper announcements, editorial purposes, or on personal websites, provided the Photographer is credited alongside the image.
Office Hours / Availability
Office hours are generally Monday–Friday, 8.30am–5.00pm. Any queries received over the weekend or after hours will be responded to during the times mentioned above, usually within 48 hours.
During school holidays my availability is limited as I spend time with my family. Usual business hours will resume when school returns.
Other
Inherent Qualities. The Client is aware that digital files stored on USB or other media may deteriorate over time due to inherent qualities such as delamination and oxidation. The Client releases the Photographer from any liability for claims based on deterioration due to such inherent qualities, and acknowledges responsibility for backing up their own digital files after delivery.
