6. CANCELLATION POLICY

a) When you make a booking with MMP, you are paying for a date in the diary or a provisional space agreed around that time and all session fees are unfortunately non refundable. Often I will prepare 48 hours in advance for your personal requirements, it is difficult to fill that space if you cancel. Items such as accessories, props, decor and backdrops may have been ordered specifically for your shoot therefore in most cases the session fee will not even cover these costs.
b) In the case of your child's illness, please contact MMP within 48 hours of the shoot date and it may be possible to transfer your date to the following week, however due to other commitments this may not be guaranteed.
c) Sittings cancelled for Cake Smash within 72 hours will incur a rebook fee for the cake cost if it won't last.

7. WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR OUTDOOR SHOOTS

a) If, in the opinion of the photographer, inclement weather or other conditions are not suitable for the shoot, MMP may elect to use an alternative location or reschedule the time of the session. Adverse weather includes anything more than a showers lasting over an hour, snow or high winds. The ideal weather for location shoots is partly sunny, hazy or a little overcast. MMP can not be held responsible for poor weather and no guarantee can be made for future dates although every effort will be made to to so.
b) MMP will not be held responsible for climate change, sessions for outdoor shoots amongst certain crop, flower or trees will be planned in for the dates they were around for the two previous years....taken as an average. Should early crop or late crop arise - an alternative date may be offered and in which case if you are unable to attend a full refund will be offered.

8. GIFT VOUCHERS

a) Gift vouchers have an expiry date of 12 months from purchase and are to redeemed against products or towards session fees. Gift vouchers are non-refundable, non transferable and have no cash value.

a) Mini-Me Photography does not offer price match or discounts on sessions or products.

10. OWN CAMERA USE

This includes location shoots, mini shoots, whether they be paid shoots or promotional shoots. If you would like to take some behind the scenes photos containing the photographer at work with the subject, please let MMP know as these type of snaps are sometimes useful to show other clients what happens during a session. But as babies attention span is so small, it would be very distracting if everyone pulled out a camera and to the detriment of gaining pictures of the baby looking at MMPs camera. Should people continue to take photographs of the subject, then MMP reserves the right to end the session.
