AGREEMENT TERMS
PORTRAIT SESSION: Client is guaranteed up to 90 minutes of shoot time per session and at least 50 edited high resolution digital images.

WEATHER: If it is not possible for a session to take place on a scheduled day due to weather, Photographer will reschedule at the earliest date possible, with no additional charge.
