A non-refundable retainer is due when booking to secure your date.  Your date will not be reserved until the retainer is paid. The remaining session fee balance must be paid on or before your session date. If you pay the remaining balance on your session date, it must be paid upon your arrival. No shooting, styling, makeup application, etc., will occur if your full session fee is not paid.  Once the retainer is paid no other client can reserve your date or time slot, therefore retainers are non-refundable if a client pays the retainer and needs to reschedule. The retainer is valid for one year from the original booking date. All retainers not redeemed within one year will be null and void.
