J. Copyright & Penalty
'Short Life Studios'
retains all copyrights to all images created during client’s session. A print
release will be included with digital files to print portraits for
personal use up to designated size listed on print release. The print release
does not allow publication of your portraits (i.e. entering in contests),
selling or altering of your images without the photographer’s written
permission. It is illegal to copy, scan, download, print, share, alter, or
otherwise steal any image created by 'Short Life Studios' during
client’s photo session. This applies to "sneak peek" images, images
posted in an online proofing gallery, blog, Facebook, or hard copy images. If
client steals images via any method listed above, or any other method, client will
be invoiced for the cost of EACH digital image client has stolen, at
photographer’s current price per digital file.
Note from Photographer:
We work very hard to
create images that reflect you and your family, while keeping in line with my
artistic vision and creativity. I know you will want to share them and include
a sneak-peek for that very reason. However, I ask that you simply link back to
my blog/website/facebook page instead of right-clicking, saving, and sharing
the image via your own page. I hope that you will respect not only my hard
work, but the time, money, and dedication that I have put into training and
equipment to capture these images for you. Please do not steal them.
K. Session Requests
*No
cameras/camcorders/any type of recording device (this includes cell phone
cameras) is allowed during the session unless prior arrangement has been made
between client and photographer, including a written agreement. The
photographer will not continue if there are other cameras or video taping during
the session.
*Session starts at the
agreed upon time. It is strongly encouraged that client arrives 15 minutes
prior to the start of session. This allows for any last-minute feeding,
changing, and relaxing before session begins.
*Please do not bring any
children not being photographed to the session.
*Please make sure hair is
combed and face is clean and free of runny noses or eyes.
*Please avoid eating
or drinking red or orange food or drinks before session, as red and orange tend
to leave a stain on the face.
