2010 Policies | San Diego Photographer

MY STYLE
My style is fun, quirky and full of laughter.  I truly believe that photography is a way of capturing a moment and time that might easily be forgotten. During your session I ask that you be prepared to relax and have fun. I do my best to capture the shot and at times you might, actually, will see me climbing a tree or laying in the sand. My aim is to provide you with images that capture the essence of you and result in portraits that make you smile each time you look at them.

BUSINESS HOURS
Our regular business hours are 9am to Sunset Mondays to Fridays and 10am to Sunset on Sundays. However, if you are unable to schedule during that time we can schedule outside these hours.

YOUR SESSION
Be prepared to spend up to 2 hours at your session. This allows us to relax and not feel rushed. If you are running late please give us a call. If you are more than 15 minutes late without notifying us, we will assume you are not coming and your deposit will be forfeited. Please only bring those people being photographed as too many people can be distracting. We understand if you wish to bring someone along to help care for little ones while they are not being photographed.

We offer on location sessions that can be held inside or outside, in your home or at an alternative location. Please discuss your choice of location with us as the time of day will effect where you can go. If you are unsure we can suggest several locations.

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOGRAPHER
Please do not bring your own camera, camcorder or any other recording devices to your session, or allow any family members to do so. If this situation occurs, the photographer reserves the right to terminate the session. If your session is terminated in this way, there will be no refund given.

CANCELLATION/RESCHEDULLING
If the need arises to cancel your appointment please do so over the telephone at least 48 hours prior to your session. Your deposit is transferrable only if you reschedule your appointment immediately. Sessions should be rescheduled within a 3 month period, dependent on photographer’s availability.

If you, or anyone being photographed, are feeling sick we do suggest rescheduling. Sick people generally do not enjoy being photographed and this will show in your portraits.

RE-SHOOTS
Reshoots are offered at the discretion of the photographer only and will not incur an additional session fee. We do not offer to reshoot for unfortunate personal choices such as hair, clothing, etc.

DISCOUNTS & PROMOTIONS
From time to time we will run special promotions. These sessions are run for a limited time only and session spots fill up fast. If all session slots are full the photographer is under no obligation to extend the promotion or match the offer past the expiration date.

RETOUCHING
All images receive basic retouching. We only retouch temporary things such as stray hairs, spots, acne, etc. If it is permanent, such as a birthmark or scar we will not retouch or remove it unless specifically asked. This is advanced retouching and may incur an additional fee of $50/hour.

GRAPHIC DESIGN SERVICES
We design all additional items ourselves. When ordering greeting cards, etc you will be shown a selection of designs.  You may make up to 3 small changes at no charge. Extra changes will be designed at $50/hour.

For session albums you will be required to indicate whether you would like color or black and white images. For coffee table books, the photographer will make the choice based on artistic selection. The client will have a chance to view the coffee table book design before the photographer sends it off to their printing lab.

COPYRIGHT
Copyright for all images is the sole property of Pasheoni Photography & Design and protected by Federal Copyright Law. It is ILLEGAL to copy, scan, print or reproduce these images in any way without written permission from the photographer. This includes scanning or downloading images for the purposes of emailing or printing them at home. Doing so may result in fines up to $150 000.

USAGE RIGHTS
The photographer has the exclusive right to make reproductions. The photographer shall only make reproductions for the client or for use in the photographer’s portfolio, advertising, samples, website and display within or outside their studio. The photographer also has the right to enter these images into photographic competitions, art exhibitions or publications.

No identifying names will be given in connection with usage of any image. We understand that sometimes there are circumstances where you may wish for your images not to be used for any of these purposes. Please notify the photographer if this is the case.

No fees, royalties, or payment of any kind will be owed in connection with any usage made of any image captured or created by Pasheoni Photography & Design.

WAIVER OF LIABILITY
If the photographer cannot fulfill the terms stated in the portrait agreement, due to causes beyond the control of the parties involved, the client shall have no further liability in respect to the agreement. In the event that photographic materials are lost or damaged, without fault on the part of either party, the limitation will also apply. In such cases, Pasheoni Photography & Design is not liable.

The client releases Pasheoni Photography & Design, and employees of Pasheoni Photography & Design, from all liabilities, claims and damages that may result from any accidents or incidents that may happen during the session, except to the extent that the accident or incident is the direct cause of the photographer’s willful and careless conduct. Please see our reshoot policy.

CREATIVE FEE POLICY
A creative fee is due within 7 days of booking your session. The creative fee is non-refundable but may be transferable to a future session if rescheduling is required. The creative fee reserves your session date and time. If payment is not received in that time, Pasheoni Photography & Design reserves the right to open your date and time to availability.

TRAVEL FEE
A travel fee of $1/mile Applies for locations 40 miles outside of 92139. Additional fees may apply depending on distance. Pasheoni Photography & Design only serves cities in Southern California.

ONLINE GALLERY
Approximately 10 days after your session your proofs will become available for you to view in an online, personal, password protected gallery. You will be able to pass on the gallery information to family and friends, so they may place their own orders. Please remember that it is a violation of Federal Copyright Law to copy, save or print the images within the gallery.

The online gallery will be available for 14 days. Orders placed within 5 days of gallery posting will receive a 10% discount on print and product prices. There will be a $30 reloading fee if you wish to have your gallery available for an additional 14 days.

ARTISTIC SELECTION
Many images are captured during the session. After wards, each image is put through a careful selection process. You will see only the images that meet the high standards of the photographer. Images with eyes closed, unflattering poses and duplicate images are removed permanently after the photographer completes this selection process. The selection process is entirely the right of the photographer and part of the custom portrait process.

ORDERING
Full payment is due at the time of ordering. Orders paid for by check will not be placed until the check has cleared. Each image is printed to order and cannot be changed or canceled after payment has been made. All sales are final.

Orders placed within 10 days of online gallery posting will receive a 10% discount. Sales tax of 8.75% will be added to your order total. Please allow 3 – 4 weeks for delivery of your portraits.
