Terms of Service
These are the plain-English terms for booking a photo session with Zachary Routsong Photography. Booking a session means you agree to them. If anything here is unclear, just ask before you book.
Booking and payment
- Submitting a request on this site does not lock in a session — it's a request. Once I accept it, I'll contact you to agree on the details. I can send you a private form link or enter those details for you.
- A 50% deposit secures your date once your booking is confirmed. The remaining balance is due on the day of the session.
- The estimate shown when you request a session includes your selected package, add-ons, and any valid promo code. Travel is quoted separately before we agree on the final price.
Rescheduling and cancellations
- Need to move or cancel? Give at least 48 hours' notice and your deposit transfers to the new date, or gets refunded if you cancel outright.
- Cancellations with less than 48 hours' notice (or no-shows) may forfeit the deposit — that time was reserved for you.
- Weather or genuine emergencies: we'll reschedule at no cost. Life happens.
- If Zachary has to cancel for any reason, you get a full refund of anything paid, or priority rebooking — your choice.
Photo delivery
- Edited photos are delivered through a private online gallery, typically within 5–7 days of your session.
- Galleries stay online until you ask me to remove them. Download a copy of your photos for your own records.
Copyright and how photos can be used
- Zachary retains the copyright to all images, as is standard for photographers.
- You receive a personal-use license: print your photos, share them, post them — freely and forever. Selling them or using them commercially requires separate written permission.
- Your photos appear in Zachary's portfolio or social media only if you said it's OK (there's an optional checkbox at booking). You can change your mind either way, anytime — just reach out.
If something goes wrong
- In the unlikely event of equipment failure, illness, or lost images, liability is limited to a reshoot or a refund of what you've paid — whichever you prefer.
