D. Wilson Photography Policies
----------------- IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING --------------
I appreciate your interest in working with D. Wilson Photography and Media Productions, LLC. Please note that after your date is scheduled on the calendar, if you need to reschedule your session, there will be a $50 rescheduling fee; rescheduling notification should be no later than 48 hours before your session. The session must be scheduled within 6 months after the deposit is paid. Otherwise, the deposit will be forfeited.
All sessions require a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit before your date can be reserved on our calendar. The remaining balance will be due in cash or via Zelle transfer on the day of the session. If D. Wilson Photography and Media Productions, LLC. cannot provide the service due to health or personal issues, a new date will be offered; if the new date is not an option, the deposit will be refunded.
Clients are given a 15-minute grace period for lateness; after 15 minutes, a $40 late fee will apply. If the client is late more than 30 minutes, the session will be canceled and the deposit forfeited; clients will have to reschedule with a new deposit made.
I will travel to the photo shoot location (outdoor sessions only) up to 30 minutes from my location (zip code 30058)
A travel fee will be applied if travel time is more than 30 minutes.
TURNAROUND TIME: 3 Business days after your session, you will receive a proofing gallery to select the final images that are included in your package. There will be a $35.00 fee per additional image if you choose other photos. Proof galleries are for viewing purposes only. They cannot be printed or shared on social media. The proofing gallery is taken down from your gallery once your final gallery is delivered; final photos will be delivered in full resolution and without any watermarks.
It takes 15 business days after you select your photos for your final gallery to be ready.
Expedite turnaround time 2-4 is available at an extra fee of $250.00.
EDITING
All final images include basic retouching, which consists of the removal of minor blemishes, small spots or scratches, slight bruises, or single stray hairs. Anything beyond that is considered extensive retouching and is subject to an additional artwork fee of $50 per image.
Extensive retouching can be discussed to determine your best options.
