Payment Options

The following payment options are available to the Client: bank transfer, cash, or Paypal.

Consultation and Arrangements

During this consultation photoshoot arrangements will be discussed: photoshoot time-frame, photoshoot locations, and photography advice for the Client (posing, wardrobe, hair and make-up).

The details of the photoshoot arrangements are to be agreed on beforehand. The Client shall notify the Photographer of any changes to these details in writing.
