“We all know that contract agreements can be intimidating and loaded with a bunch of legal jargon we often don’t read.
Although they’re boring, they exist to protect both you and myself should anything happen. I’ve narrowed it down to the essentials that matter, and is easily digestible.
I’m excited to capture your special moments. Here’s a quick overview to ensure everything goes smoothly.”
Things to Know Before Your Session
Photo Rights: All final images and sample prints are yours to enjoy personally. They remain the property of SNDFRD PHOTO.
Unforeseen Issues: If something unexpected prevents us from fulfilling the agreement, I’ll refund all your fees with no further obligations. I just ask that you protect SNDFRD PHOTO and myself (Shaakir Sandiford) from any claims except those due to intentional or illegal acts.
Booking Your Date: A 50% non-refundable deposit is required when you sign the contract to secure your date. If your preferred date is unavailable, I’ll work with you to choose another convenient date. Please note this deposit doesn’t cover extra fees that may arise.
Your Session Day
Payment and Cooperation: Full payment is needed before I release any photos. The remaining payment is due within 7 business days of your session date. Your punctuality and cooperation are essential for a successful session. If you’re late by more than 30 minutes, it may reduce your session time or incur extra charges. Friends and family are welcome as long as they don't interfere, but please avoid bringing professional photographers unless pre-approved.
Preparation: Please arrive on time, dressed in your first outfit, and ensure you’re happy with your look. I won’t be responsible for wardrobe malfunctions, makeup flaws, or overall appearance mishaps.
Rescheduling and Locations: Sessions can be rescheduled due to weather or personal reasons if it fits my schedule. Locations within 30 minutes (30km) of New Westminster are included, but further distances or additional locations might have extra charges. Any required permits are your responsibility.
After Your Photoshoot
Receiving Your Photos: Expect your final edited photos within 14 days, depending on the number and complexity of the edits. Basic retouching includes minor fixes but not major alterations. Additional editing is $40 per hour. Unedited photos won’t be shared.
Digital Deliverables: Digital files are delivered via Google Drive™. Additional edited photos are non-refundable. If you're unhappy with your photos due to fault of the photographer (SNDFRD PHOTO/Shaakir Sandiford), you may be eligible for a 50% refund, subject to our agreement.
Creating Prints: You can print your photos for personal use, but they can’t be sold or used commercially unless we agree otherwise. Photos are deleted 120 days (4 months) after your session, so save them securely. I’ll notify you when your photos are ready via email, so please keep an eye on your inbox.
