PRICING - Angela Brumley Photography LLC

policy agreement

Due to the nature of photography and the time put into each session Angela Brumley Photography LLC has a strict NO REFUND policy. The photographer will show the clients images on the camera during the shoot (if requested), which is done for approval of backgrounds and posing. Payment is due before shooting begins. Re-shoots are available depending on the circumstances but not always granted and MUST be in the same attire as the original session!

First and foremost, here are a few rules for ALL clients to follow:

1: Know that outfit changes DO count toward your session time, and each session has a limited time that

we may not always be able to exceed.

2: Please DO NOT rush the photographer at any time!

3: Be respectful to ALL staff members and/or clients!

4: All print credits expire 6 months after the date of your session.

Warning: We have the right to refuse service for ANY reason, at ANY point of our service, and there will be NO REFUNDS due to breaking the easy rules above. Thank you!
