You will not be named or tagged and Boudoir sessions are not displayed. Due to the nature of the work, being able to display portfolio images is essential to my business.

    Model Release
    I hereby give to Natashia Roberts Photography the absolute and irrevocable right and permission with respect to the photographs that he/she has taken of myself and/or my minor child in which he/she may be included with others:
    a) To copyright the same in the photographer’s name or any other name that he/she may select;
    b) To use, re-use, publish and re-publish the same in whole or in part, separately or in conjunction with other photographs, in any medium now or hereafter known, and for any purpose whatsoever, including (but not by way of limitation) illustration, promotion, advertising and trade, and;

    I hereby release and discharge photographer from all and any claims and demands ensuing from or in connection with the use of the photographs.
     The photographs taken and presented by Natashia Roberts Photography may be used by Natashia Roberts Photography for the purpose of display, portfolio, advertising, website, or publication to promote the business without compensation to the undersigned. You may request that specific images not be made public if they are of a personal nature by submitting written notification to Natashia Roberts Photography. I do not identify subjects by name on my website or printed materials.
    Retainer + Session Fee
    The Session Retainer Fee is non-refundable and reserves your appointment. Payment is due upon receipt of booking up to 3 days. Should payment not be received in this timeframe, Natashia Roberts Photography reserves the right to offer the date and time to another client. The total session fee amount is due 3 days prior to your session or session may be cancelled. 
    Retouching, Prints, and Products
    Additional retouching or changes in the crop, coloring, etc. are billed at $50/hr. Once the requested changes are made, charges apply regardless if the final product is purchased. I provide detailed printing instructions with your digital files. Your images will be cropped and colored how I believe they will print the best. Some images (particularly those shot in low light) may have visible digital noise when enlarged too much. This is normal, but may not be aesthetic. In addition, if you crop an image in too tightly, you will lose resolution and may cause it to be pixilated when enlarged. To ensure the best print quality, try to avoid altering your images before printing. If in doubt, just ask me. I am not responsible for printing errors or for quality of prints or products not printed directly through my professional lab. Handle your portraits with extreme care. Damage incurred as a result of improper handling, framing, or hanging is the responsibility of the client.
    Rescheduling and Refund Policy Terms: Requests for rescheduling and/or refunds are granted at Photographers discretion. Please contact me *as soon as possible* if you or another session participate becomes ill. I reserve the right to reschedule due to weather, illness, etc. If the session is not held within 60 days of the original session date, the booking fee is forfeited and current pricing will apply to a new session unless otherwise agreed upon. Refunds will not be disbursed for children not looking at the camera/non-cooperation during session. *Downloading of images and/or gallery signifies clients complete satisfaction and acceptance of final product by Natashia Roberts Photography. Once downloaded, no refunds will be given. If you have any concerns, please contact Natashia prior to download of images. 
    If you need clarification on any terms or contract policies, please let me know and I can assist you! By submitting this contract form you are signifying that you agree and accept these terms.

I. Copyright & Penalty
Natashia Roberts Photography retains all copyrights to all images created during client’s session. A print release may be included or purchased with digital files to print portraits for personal use up to designated size listed on print release. The print release does not allow publication of your portraits (i.e. entering in contests), selling or altering of your images without the photographer’s written permission. It is illegal to copy, scan, download, print, share, alter, or otherwise steal any image created by Natashia Roberts Photography during client’s photo session. This applies to "sneak peek" images, images posted in an online proofing gallery, blog, Facebook, or hard copy images. 
Note from photographer: I work very hard to create images that reflect you and your family, while keeping in line with my artistic vision and creativity. I know you will want to share them and include a sneak-peek for that very reason. However, I ask that you only share purchased images online. Please do not use filters and crop images as I have spent countless hours perfecting your images and distortion of images may occur.
J. Session Requests
*No cameras/camcorders/any type of recording device (this includes cell phone cameras) are allowed during the session unless prior arrangement has been made between client and photographer.
*Session starts at the agreed upon time. It is strongly encouraged that client arrives 5-10 minutes prior to the start of session. This allows for any last-minute feeding, changing, and relaxing before session begins.
*Please do not bring any children not being photographed to the session.
*Please make sure hair is combed and face is clean and free of runny noses or eyes. If using dry shampoo, please be sure it blends with natural hair.
*Please avoid eating or drinking red, orange, or heavily dyed food or drinks before session, as these tend to leave a stain on the face.
