Additional Costs

These are some of the billable items associated with various shoots and are based upon the type of shoot and will not appear on all sessions.

Additional retouching is available at $45/hour of editing time and an estimate of retouching cost will be given before starting.

Hair & Makeup: You are more than welcome to arrange your own hair and makeup for our session, but I have specific people that I prefer to work with as we have developed working relationships and methods to ensure the best outcome. Prices for Hair and makeup will typically run $80+ for just makeup and $150+ for both hair and makeup. These costs vary on the desired looks.
Location: Many locations will allow us to have our session with no issue, but some locations require permits and deposits. These costs will be discussed before the shoot date.
Props/Supplies: This covers all kinds of items from exotic animal rentals to wardrobe rentals and will vary by project.
Specialty Equipment: Although I have a fully equipped studio, on occasion there will be an item that is not kept in house and will be needed for the session. This is typically associated with Product Photography.
Rush Service: Typically images are processed within two weeks to ensure proper care is given to processing to allow for the best possible final image. Rush Service is available at $100 to have the images delivered more quickly to fit tight timelines.

Payment Options

Refunds and Satisfaction

Agreements between Brian Vogel Photography and Clients shall not become effective until the initial amount due has been paid. At the time the contract takes effect, Brian Vogel Photography shall reserve the date and time agreed upon, and not make any other reservations or accept any other clients for said date and time. For this reason, in the event that a Client cancels the contract for any reason, all monies paid shall be retained by Brian Vogel Photography in order to offset its loss of business.

Unfortunately, since this is a service I am providing and I am charging for my time, I am not able to provide a standard refund. However, in the event that a client is not pleased with the images created during a session, a re-shoot can be scheduled at no additional charge to fix the issues and capture the desired images.

Rescheduling

I understand that Life Gets in the Way sometimes. If you need to reschedule your session for whatever reason that is perfectly fine as long as it is addressed at least 7 days before the scheduled session.
If an emergency or unforeseen incident occurs you will be able to reschedule your session for free 1 time as long as I am given notice at least 1 hour before your session time.
