Studio Policies & Terms

Please enter name and check below. This agreement must be submitted before any session can begin. I have read and received a copy of your studio policies
Covid Studio Policies:
Shoes need to be taken off and left outside. I prefer you keep your distance as much as possible during the session and refrain from touching props. I will not touch older babies and children. Parents will need to assist with posing with the direction of the photographer. Immediate family only in the studio. Sibling and family images will be done first then the sibling must be taken away for the remainder of the session. Mask are required for everyone over the age of 10, but may be removed while being photographed. My sink is available for hand washing and I will also use hand sanitizer.
Covid Outside Policies:
I will keep at least 6 feet of distance during the session.  I will not touch older babies and children. Parents will need to assist with posing with the direction of the photographer. I will wear a mask if asked to.
For full sessions, the creative fee pays for the time and talent of the photographer, pre-session consultation, post-session processing and preparation of your images and a private viewing/ordering appointment at my studio. The creative fee is due to book your portrait session. Creative fees are non-refundable, however with 48 hours notice it can be rescheduled in case of an emergency. For mini sessions the full amount is due to book. It includes the time and talent of the photographer, pre-session consultation, post-session processing and preparation of your images, an online gallery and a set number of digital images. Due to receiving a digital product the mini session fee is non-refundable.
If you have a sick child on the day of the session please call to reschedule. If you try to keep the appointment, we will most likely request that you reschedule if we notice your child is sick. Sick or uncomfortable children do not like to be photographed and we know that you will not love your portraits nearly as much as if he or she was in good health.
You agree to hold harmless, Melissa Dieterich, and Melissa D Photography from any dispute in the event you become injured during your session or while on studio premises. Melissa D Photography will not be held liable for any injury incurred by you or your family, or any damage to your property during the photo session or while on studio premises.
About a week after our session you will get to view your images. Mini sessions will receive an online gallery to view and choose images. Full sessions will schedule an in person ordering appointment with slideshow. You will be asked to order at this time. Please make sure all decision makers are present, as additional ordering appointments incur a $100 fee.
All our clients invest in digital files. You will be able to download your files the day of your ordering appointment. Due to the downloadable nature of this content, once files are released from the studio the sale is final and non-refundable.
While Melissa does capture many images during your session, you will only see those images selected by her, the artist for previewing. She carefully renders each image to ensure maximum artistry and technical perfection. Images with eyes closed, heads turned, duplicates, ect. will not be shown and are removed from my archives permanently after the artist rendering is complete.
Due to the custom nature of the work, payment for your order must be placed in full and is subject to a 50% cancellation fee should you change your mind about an order after it is placed. Once an order is sent to the lab or digital files are submitted to the client either by CD, USB, electronic transfer or email, the order is deemed non-refundable. Payments may be made by cash, check, or credit card. 
Please allow up to 4 weeks for your order to be completed. Some orders may take longer. Your portraits are an investment and an heirloom that should not be rushed. You will be notified by phone or email when your order is ready for pickup. If you are unable to pick up your order, we can ship it to you for an additional charge.
