No date is reserved until your retainer is received. Your session fee and applicable gallery fees will be deducted out of this retainer, and any remaining balance shall be applied towards the total cost of your order. Jeannie Blinson Photography agrees to show up to the session location on the date and time of your appointment and professionally capture your session. If Jeannie Blinson Photography cannot attend your session for medical reasons or other emergency, all effort shall be made, at no extra cost to the client, to find a convenient reschedule date.
