**Please continue on to read ALL of the important details below, before booking!
----------------------------
ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
These sunflower sessions are 20-minutes in length and they are booked back-to-back. Multiple families will be seen this evening, so it is important that you are on time to your session as the photographer must remain on schedule to accommodate everyone! There is a specific time frame that has been rented at these fields, and the photographer is not allowed to run over that time. Therefore if you are late to your session we will only be able to shoot for the time that remains before the next session, or the end of the rental period.
Exact details on where to park and meet the photographer will be provided as the session draws near.
Entrance Fees: The photographer has paid a rental fee to reserve this sunflower field and it is not open to the general public during this time frame. There is NO entrance fee for the clients, as that has been covered under the rental fee that the photographer already paid.
------
WEATHER:
Usually August is warm and sunny for the most part, so we shouldn't have any issues. However please note that these sessions will continue as scheduled whether it's rain or shine, as we are not able to reschedule due to weather. This is due to the fact that this sunflower field had to be rented by the hour for a fee, and this rental fee is non-refundable to the photographer in the case of rain. There are only 4 days in August that they allow photographers to rent these fields, and these spots always sell out. So they do not allow any rescheduling due to weather.
----------------------------
TOTAL INVESTMENT:
Special Event Sessions/Minis are divided into TWO payments:
1. The first payment is the $150 retainer/booking fee that is paid today to secure your chosen time slot.
2. The second payment will be made AFTER your session, once you have viewed the proofs from your session and chosen your favorites that you'd like to purchase. YOU are in control of which images you purchase, and how many! This way you are only purchasing the images you love the most!
Below are the Digital Collections that will be available to purchase after your session:
5 DIGITAL COLLECTIONS AVAILABLE:
Petite: 5 digitals = $175
Enhanced: 10 digitals = $285
Deluxe: 15 digitals = $375
Legacy: 20 digitals = $440
Platinum: 30 digitals = $530
------
SINGLE-IMAGE ADD-ONS:
1 hi-res digital = $25
2 hi-res digitals = $45
3 hi-res digitals = $65
----------------------------
BOOKING MULTIPLE TIME SLOTS:
If you add 2 or more time slots into your shopping cart (so that you are booking 2 sessions back to back for a longer overall session), please understand that when booking 2 sessions back to back there is a requirement to purchase 2 separate image packages from each of those sessions. (This means you would need to purchase at the very minimum two of the 5-image packages.)
----
OPTIONAL: INTEREST-FREE PAYMENT PLAN:
You may inquire about splitting the total cost of your chosen Collection into 2 interest-free payments. The second payment will be made 2 weeks after the first. Please note that your final fully-retouched images will not be delivered until the second and final payment has been made.
———————————
WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO RECEIVE MY IMAGES?
PROOFING GALLERIES:
You'll receive a link to your temporary proofing gallery within 1 week of your session date. Your proofing gallery will be active for 3 days so that you have time to narrow down your favorite images that you'd like to purchase.
FINAL PURCHASED IMAGES:
Once you have chosen your favorite images from your proofing gallery and purchased them, the final retouching process will begin on your purchased images. You can expect to receive your final fully-retouched photos within 24-48 hours after your purchase was made. (One extra day may be needed for full-gallery purchases.)
----------------------------
DISCLAIMER:
Because this Booking Fee/Retainer secures a spot on the photographer's schedule, thereby making it unavailable to book by another client, it is NON-refundable upon client cancellation or no-show.

QUESTIONS?
If you have any questions about these Special Event Sessions, or if you have questions about booking your own individual session (to take place on your own chosen day/time/location), please contact the photographer via email: [email protected].
