It is very important that you do not attempt to book a photoshoot if your are not prepared to complete your booking through the payment of a 50% deposit, signing of a contract and the completion of a questionnaire. Information like prices and the booking schedule are public (here) and don’t require you to start the booking process to access it.
Please note that session pricing and current availability are publicly available and can be reviewed before initiating a booking request. Starting the booking process without completing these steps creates an incomplete reservation within the booking system and may impact availability for yourself and others. Doing this will also send a signal to the website that there is a new lead and automatically send you an invoice.
If you are not ready to pay your deposit and finalize your reservation, please do not select "Propose" at this time.
