Payment and Cancellation
Payment
A non refundable booking fee of 10% of the agreed shoot amount will be necessary in order to reserve a time and date for a photoshoot.
Payment must then be made in full within 7 days of receipt of gallery for the photos to be used by client.
Cancellation
Any cancellations that occur more than 4 days before the scheduled shoot time are able to be rebooked at no additional cost within a 1 month time frame (or next reasonable availability Sophie has). If a confirmed shoot is cancelled less than 4 days from schedule, the booking deposit is forfeited. You may only reschedule a project once. If a booking deposit has not been charged, a fee of 10% the shoot cost will be charged. For notice 24 hours or less, a 25% cancellation fee will be charged.
It is at the discretion of Sophie Tyler to waive cancellation fees in certain (extenuating) circumstances.
Should Sophie Tyler not be available for any reason, Sophie Tyler will notify the client of the change as soon as it is known and make every effort to reschedule the session. If for whatever reason this is not possible, Sophie Tyler's responsibility and liability is limited the return of all payments received.
Wet Weather
For shoots that are intended to be outside, and cannot be relocated to a different location, no fee is charged to postpone the shoot to a new date.
Travel
If more than 30 mins travel from Newcastle CBD is required, a travel fee may be added. This will be agreed before the shoot
