Policy

Bookings and Payments

  • Consultations are required before all bookings. Please fill out my contact form before proceeding on the booking page.

  • At the time of booking, a 50% non-refundable deposit of the total cost of your shoot is required to secure your appointment date and time. All payments can be made through Zelle or CashApp. The deposit payment means that you have read through and agree with ALL of Joseph Uodh Photography’s policies.

  • The final balance payment is due at the conclusion of the photoshoot, proofs will not be sent out until the remaining balance from the shoot is paid.

Image Files

  • Final edits will be returned to clients in 7-10 business days (up to 2 weeks). Please know that this is only including Monday-Friday. Holidays and weekends are not considered business days

  • Image proofs are low res images used to allow clients to choose which images they would like edited. These images are watermarked to prevent the client from posting.

  • Any client that wants the high-res unedited images (unwatermarked) from their shoot can purchase them for $150, these images will be delivered in the highest quality jpeg format.

  • All final edits will be edited with Joseph Udoh Photography’s signature editing style. The final edit of the images cannot be edited by the client, if there is something you would like changed please let the photographer know and he will try to accommodate. Failure to adhere to this will result in a ban from booking Joseph Udoh Photography for any future photoshoot.

Photoshoot Etiquette

  • ALL clients and Joseph Udoh Photography is expected to arrive at the photoshoot on time.

  • If the photographer is late for your shoot he will communicate this with you ahead of time and will still allow you the full amount of time that you have booked for your shoot.

  • A $20 fee will be added to all sessions where the client is beyond 15 minutes late.

  • After 35 minutes, the photography session will be canceled and the deposit will not be refunded. In order to reschedule or to book a new shoot, a new deposit will need to be paid.

  • All guests and models should come with a professional mindset in order to create the best images possible and not waste any time. Any rude or disrespectful clients or guests will be asked to leave.

Cancellations

  • Any client who does not cancel or reschedule within 7 days of their session will forfeit their deposit, which will act as a cancellation fee. However, the fee can be credited towards a future session if the client reschedules the appointment by email 7 days prior to the date of the session and re-booking at an agreeable date and time.

  • Weather-related rescheduling will be allowed if there is rain in the forecast or if the temperature is below 50 degrees.

  • In the unlikely event of severe medical, natural, or other emergencies, it may be necessary to retain an alternative photographer. Joseph Udoh Photography will make every effort to secure a replacement photographer able and/or willing to provide a similar package as chosen in this contract at the same/similar pricing. If such a situation should occur and a suitable replacement is not found, responsibility and liability is limited to the return of all payments received for the shoot package.
