CREATIVE FEES: Your creative fee includes the time and talent of the photographer and access to the studio, props, and our curated wardrobe closet. These fees are NOT deducted from your final order and DO NOT include any digitals or products. We only have a very limited number of sessions available so session fees MUST be paid to confirm your appointment. Session fees are non-refundable.
DEPOSIT: A $300 deposit is due the day of your session. It will be applied toward your final order selections at your ordering appointment.
ORDERING APPOINTMENT: Your in-studio ordering appointment will be scheduled within 1–2 weeks after your session. During this appointment, you will view and choose your favorite images and products and/or digital images you would like to purchase. To make this appointment as smooth and stress-free as possible, we ask that all decision makers plan to be present, as we will be finalizing your order and payment at this time. If an additional ordering appointment is needed, a $100 fee will apply.
PAYMENT: For your convenience, we accept all major credit cards. As a small, independently owned studio, we are grateful for payment by Venmo, check, or cash whenever possible. Final payment is collected at the ordering appointment. A 3% service charge applies to credit card transactions.
PRODUCT DELIVERY: All artwork and albums are custom-crafted just for you, with each image carefully hand-retouched by our professional graphic artist to ensure the highest quality. Most items are completed and delivered within 4–6 weeks after your order is finalized. I will keep you updated throughout the process and notify you as soon as your artwork is ready.
COPYRIGHT & IMAGE CARE: All images created by Daphne’s Portrait Design remain the copyrighted work of the photographer. Your purchase includes a personal-use license for enjoying and sharing your images with family and friends. To preserve the integrity and quality of the artwork, images may not be altered, edited, filtered, or modified without written permission. This includes the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools or apps. Thank you for helping us protect the artistry and consistency of the images we create for you.
CAMERAS: Thank you for your trust in my talent and professionalism as I ask that you please leave the photography to me. Please refrain from taking your own snapshots with your phone during our portrait session.
REFUNDS: Due to the custom nature of photography, all sales are final and no refunds will be issued.
