Schedule: Due to the nature of the business, we try to create a strict timeline that will be enforced to ensure that all schedules run smoothly. The session will start at the scheduled start time, even if the client is late. The session end time will remain the same.

Cooperation: Sweet Baby Photography is not held responsible for the behaviour of any parties involved with the session. If the desired outcome of your session is jeopardised by the behaviours of parties involved, then we cannot be held responsible. The client also understands that special requests are not binding instructions, although every effort is made to comply with the client’s wishes, cooperation from all parties is a must. In the event of uncooperative children at a session, Sweet Baby Photography may not be able to capture any of the images the client may have requested or expected. The Client is responsible for all children at all sessions.

Reshoot Policy: In the event that the weather conditions are not desirable for location shoots based on Sweet Baby Photography recommendations, the session will need to be rescheduled and the fee to rebook will be waived. Due to liability and equipment damages this decision will be at Sweet Baby Photography’s discretion. In the event that a reshoot has been scheduled due to the nature of the clients appearance in the previous session, the client is held responsible for paying an additional shoot fee. In the event that a reshoot has been scheduled due to the non client cooperation in the previous session, the client is held responsible for paying an additional shoot fee.

Limit of Liability: In the unlikely event that photographs have been lost, stolen, or destroyed for reasons within or beyond studio control, studio liability is limited to the return of all payments received for the portrait session. The limit of liability for a partial loss of originals will be a prorated amount of the exposures lost based on the percentage of total number of originals.
Proofs/ Images: No set minimum number of proofs will be guaranteed from any shoot. This will depend on cooperation from the clients. We aim to provide 15-25 proofs from each shoot, Sweet Baby Photography will do its best to produce more proofs than discussed with the Client. Proofs provided in the viewing session/online proofing gallery, are the final images. Images that do not meet the standards of Sweet Baby Photography are deleted in the first part of the editing process and are non-recoverable. Whilst every effort is made to ensure images presented are edited to the highest standards Sweet Baby Photography makes no commitment to the extent by which images will be ‘fixed’ for the avoidance of doubt you can be assured that the photographer will endeavour to correct any non-permanent blemishes and make changes to the image that improve the finished result. On viewing your images, the Client is responsible for pointing out any additional editing that you may feel is necessary BEFORE placing your order. As photographic prints are bespoke products we are unable to accept responsibility for issues with images that are noticed after the products have been ordered unless it can be proven that they were not visible at the time of ordering.
Completion Schedule: Due to the nature of our sessions, completion and product delivery time may vary depending on the time of year. We aim to have all sessions edited within 14 working days. Prints and Products take 3-5 weeks for completion upon ordering, and payment is due in full at this time.
Receipt of Pictures: The Pictures are presumed to have been received in good condition unless the Client notifies Sweet Baby Photography in writing of any discrepancy or error within 3 days of receipt.  Because the supply of the photographs have been made to the Client’s personal specification, the client does not have the right to a cooling off period. By placing an order with Sweet Baby Photography you are committing to buy the ordered products.
Archive: Images are kept for a 12 month period at the discretion of Sweet Baby Photography
