Photoshoot Terms and conditions

1. Booking & Payment

  • A £49 non-refundable session booking fee is required to confirm your session. This covers the time and talent of the photographer and secures your slot.

  • Your final payment is due when you choose and order your image package following the session.

  • No images will be delivered until full payment has been received.

2. Rescheduling & Cancellations

  • You may reschedule your session with at least 48 hours’ notice. Reschedules due to illness are permitted once — further changes may require a new booking fee.

  • For the health of all clients, especially newborns, please inform me as soon as possible if anyone attending is unwell.

  • Cancellations made 7 or more days in advance will not incur any additional fees, but the session fee remains non-refundable. Cancellations made within 7 days will result in the loss of the session fee.

  • No-shows will forfeit the session fee and must pay a new session fee to rebook.

3. Lateness

  • If you are late, your session time will be reduced accordingly. This may result in fewer final images.

  • If you arrive more than 45 minutes late, the session will be considered a cancellation, your booking fee will be retained, and a new session fee will be required to reschedule.

4. Image Delivery

  • Preview images will be available within 3–5 working days, watermarked for proofing only.

  • Any screenshots or attempts to remove watermarks are considered a breach of copyright and may result in legal action and full image fees being charged.

  • Once your final image selection is made and full payment is received, fully edited images will be delivered digitally within 3 weeks.

  • Galleries will remain online for 5 days for selection. Late selections may incur a re-upload fee of £10 if your gallery needs to be reinstated.

  • It is the client’s responsibility to download and back up their images. Ongoing access is not guaranteed.

5. Copyright & Image Use

  • Cara Mia Photography retains full copyright to all images, in accordance with UK copyright law.

  • Clients are granted a personal-use license to print and share images for private, non-commercial purposes.

  • You may not:

    • Sell or profit from the images

    • Enter them into competitions

    • Alter or edit them beyond basic cropping

  • You may:

    • Share them online (please credit/tag: @caramiaphotouk)

    • Print for personal use (you’re also welcome to order prints through me)

6. Public Image Sharing (Model Release)

  • No images will be shared publicly by Cara Mia Photography (e.g. website, social media, portfolio) without your explicit written consent via a signed Model Release Form.

7. Gift Vouchers

  • Vouchers:

    • Are non-refundable

    • Cannot be exchanged for cash or used toward products not covered in the voucher

8. Session Information

  • Newborn sessions take place in my studio only to maintain a safe and controlled environment.

  • Family sessions may be arranged at an outdoor or agreed-upon location, weather and travel permitting.

  • Any changes to session location must be discussed and agreed in advance.

9. Client Responsibility

  • Please arrive on time, prepared, and with all members of your party ready to participate.

  • Ensure children are well-rested and fed where appropriate.

  • You are responsible for securing any permissions required at a chosen location.

10. Legal & General
