In general, a 30% retainer is due at booking, required to hold your date and get us committed, fully thinking, and preparing for the shoot. For portraiture sessions, all concept development and research start after the retainer is received.
The balance is due on the day of the shoot (both portraits and events) or upon the image delivery (commercial only). Sorry, we do not offer balance payment contingent on the delivery of images or album. Our more than 17-year stellar reputation is more important than cutting a few corners so there is no ground for worries of under-delivery. :)
