All session fees are non-refundable and are due at the time of booking.  I accept Credit card (Master Card, Visa, and Discover), cash or you can mail me a check.  To hold your session date a 50% non refundable retainer is required.

Please look over the portrait agreement and sign it online (via electronic signature. There’s no need to print it out, sign with a pen, scan it and email it back any more!
