If your partner or anyone else in your images comes dressed with clothing you do not like, photographer is not responsible to fix their clothing. For example, if your partner wears sweatpants with bright yellow strips down the side, photographer will not be fixing the pants.  An extra fee of $25 per image will be associated with editing out bra straps or any other undergarments showing if you wish to have them removed.

Please note, if you decide to not follow instructions such as how to pose or body placement, photographer is not held responsible if your photos do not come out as expected. I cannot move your body in post editing into the correct position. The photographer reserves the right to decline further edit requests, that the client may feel necessary but goes against the photographer’s style, is deemed unnecessary or was the result of the client. For example, if client asks for a boho theme shoot but then later decides client wants all the decor edited out, the photographer has the right to decline such request. If client comes in with unkept hair, your photos will reflect that. I will not be editing hair to make it look straighter or kept.
