1.1. All images and copyrights are the property of NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART.

1.2. Any attempts to download, copy, screenshot, or remove watermarks from images are strictly prohibited without prior permission from NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART.

1.3. Clients are granted a non-exclusive, limited, perpetual license to:

• Display the images;
• Print the images;
• Upload, email, or electronically transfer the images; and,
• Publish the images on personal websites or social media, provided that NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART is credited appropriately (e.g., tagging on social media).

2.1. All images are edited on calibrated screens. NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART is not responsible for variations in colors caused by non-calibrated monitors or print services.

2.2. If images are printed through third-party services, the quality of the final product is not guaranteed by NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART.

3.1. By booking with NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART, you agree to the terms outlined here. All session fees are due at the time of booking.

3.2. A non-refundable booking fee is required to secure your session date. This fee is necessary to:

• Confirm your commitment to the session and reserve the date and time exclusively for you. Once the booking fee is paid, that slot will no longer be available for other clients.
• Cover initial administrative and preparation work that begins as soon as the booking is confirmed, including but not limited to consultations, session planning, and any other pre-session preparations.
• Ensure compensation for time lost due to cancellations or last-minute changes. By securing the session, NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART may turn down other bookings for the same date, and this fee helps mitigate losses in the event of cancellation.

3.3. In the event that the client needs to reschedule the session, the booking fee may be transferred to a new date, provided that the client gives at least 24 hours’ notice and the new date is mutually agreed upon. However, repeated rescheduling may result in the forfeiture of the booking fee.

3.4. If NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART must cancel the session due to unforeseen circumstances such as illness or equipment failure, the booking fee will be fully refunded, or the client will be given the option to transfer it to a new session date at no additional charge.

3.5. The booking fee is applied toward the total session cost. The remaining balance is due on or before the day of the session, as outlined in the session agreement.

4.1. Every session is unique, and specific poses or setups may not be possible, depending on the client's requests or subject's cooperation.

4.2. The photographer has full discretion to end the session once enough quality images have been captured.

5.1. Following the session, NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART will provide the client with a full gallery of watermarked images, including file names, for review and selection. Clients may choose the number of images included in their package for professional editing. Additional images can be purchased for editing at the rates outlined in the session agreement.

5.2. NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART offers two distinct editing styles to suit client preferences:

• Standard Editing: This includes basic colour correction, removal of minor unwanted elements, and general enhancements to achieve a clean and polished result. One revision per image is included as part of the package.
• Enhanced Editing: This style employs advanced techniques such as overlays, creative compositions, and complex editing methods to achieve a highly customised and artistic outcome. Revisions for enhanced edits are available at £150 per image per revision, as each revision involves significant time investment and results in a unique edit.

5.3. Unless expressly requested by the client prior to the session, NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART reserves the right to apply its professional discretion in determining the most suitable editing style for the selected images.

5.4. RAW (unedited) images remain the sole property of NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART and will not be provided to clients under any circumstances.

5.5. Clients may, however, opt to purchase the entire library of unedited images. These will be provided in JPEG format at their original resolution and without any retouching, cropping, or other modifications.

6.1. In the event of illness, the client must reschedule 24 hours before the session. NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART reserves the right to reschedule as necessary.

7.1. NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART is not liable for issues or delays caused by circumstances beyond its control. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to:

• Technical malfunctions or equipment failure (e.g., camera, lighting, memory cards, etc.). Every effort will be made to rectify such issues promptly, but if irreparable damage or failure occurs, NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART will attempt to reschedule the session or offer alternative solutions.
• Personal illness or injury of the photographer, which may require rescheduling the session. In such cases, NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART will notify the client as soon as possible and work to find a mutually convenient date for the rescheduled session.
• Unforeseen natural events (force majeure) such as severe weather conditions, natural disasters, or any other events (e.g., pandemics, governmental restrictions, etc.) that make it impossible to conduct the session on the agreed-upon date.
• Acts of third parties that hinder the performance of the service, such as accidents or interruptions caused by venue management or other service providers on location.

7.2. In the event of such circumstances, NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART will do its best to minimize delays or disruptions. However, the photographer will not be held responsible for any direct or indirect loss, damage, or injury suffered by the client or third parties due to the inability to fulfill the service as agreed.

7.3. In cases where the session cannot be rescheduled due to these uncontrollable events, a full or partial refund may be offered at the discretion of NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART, based on the time and resources already invested in the preparation of the session.

8.1. To ensure the quality and professionalism of the session, no personal cameras, camera phones, camcorders, or any other recording devices are allowed during the photoshoot.

8.2. The restriction on recording devices is necessary to:

• Prevent distractions and interruptions during the session, allowing the photographer to work efficiently and maintain focus on capturing the best possible images.
• Protect the creative process and intellectual property of the photographer. Unauthorized images or recordings may result in unapproved use, distribution, or sharing, which could undermine the exclusivity and quality of the final product delivered to the client.
• Ensure that the lighting, angles, and settings are consistent throughout the session, which may be disrupted by the use of personal devices.
• Comply with legal and safety regulations at specific venues or locations that may prohibit the use of external recording devices.

8.3. Any violation of this policy may result in the immediate termination of the session without a refund, as the unauthorized use of recording devices could compromise the quality of the session or infringe upon the intellectual property rights of NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART.

8.4. Exceptions to this policy may only be made with the express written consent of NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART prior to the session. Any agreed-upon use of personal recording devices must not interfere with the photographer’s work or the agreed-upon deliverables.

9.1. Digital files are stored for six months following the session. After this period, NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART is not responsible for maintaining the files unless otherwise arranged.

10.1. NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART collects personal data (such as names and contact details) to manage bookings and deliver services. This data is stored securely and never shared with third parties without explicit consent.

10.2. Clients have the right to access, modify, or request deletion of their data at any time. To make a request, clients can contact NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY ART via email.

10.3. All personal data is stored securely and only used for the purpose of delivering photography services. If data is to be used for marketing purposes, explicit consent will be sought.

10.4. Clients will be notified of any updates to the privacy policy.
