Privacy Policy

A photography session booking with Paula Owen Photography indicates the acceptance of the terms and conditions stated herein.
- Paula Owen photography will endeavor to capture all photographs previously agreed, starting with the highest priority portrait. Experience confirms that children often set the pace and the tone of a portrait session and therefore, it may not be possible to capture all on a client’s wish-list of images.
- The session fee covers the time and talent of Paula Owen Photography and the subsequent creation of a private online proof gallery. All photographs taken during the session will not be included in the online proof gallery; the final selection of photograph proofs will be at the discretion of the photographer.
- A non-refundable deposit of 50% of the session fee secures the date, time and services of Paula Owen Photography. Sessions that are postponed to a later date will retain the fee as long as the photographer can re- schedule for the new date and time. The remaining balance is required at the time of the photography session.
- In all cases Paula Owen Photography takes care to ensure a pleasing colour balance for final prints endeavoring to match the image seen on screen at the proofing stage. However, it is impossible to guarantee colour accuracy 100% due to the different colour spaces that occur in digital imaging and different printers, media, screens and software settings.
- All orders for prints and/or albums must be paid for at the time of order.
- All requested photo retouching or digital manipulation, other than basic colour correction and cropping, will be subject to a $25 fee per image.
- It is understood that copyright of all photographs remain the property of Paula Owen Photography and may be used to promote Paula Owen Photography.
- An online gallery will be uploaded and available for 2 weeks. If a choice is not made after the gallery has been taken down a $50 reupload fee will be charged.
