Images will be delivered via a digital gallery approximately 2 weeks after your session date (unless specified otherwise). 

You will receive printing rights to print wherever you please. I am happy to help you find print labs if you wish. Please be sure to download and backup your images. Whitney Shaw Photography will keep images on file for SIX months after the session date. If images are lost during that time, you pay for the images to be uploaded to your online gallery again for $30. Your online gallery will be available to for 4 weeks. If your images are not downloaded during that time, there will be a $30 fee to upload them a second time.

Half of the session fee is due upon booking to reserve your date. The remainder is due prior to the start of the session. Acceptable forms of payment are Venmo (@whitney-shaw-3), cash and check. Checks can be made out to Whitney Shaw Photography. Checks/cash can be sent to:

Whitney Shaw will gladly reschedule due to illness or other unforeseen circumstances; please notify Whitney at least 48 hours before your session if you must reschedule. If the weather isn't agreeable on the day of the session, we will reschedule another date. If there is a chance of rain in the forecast, Whitney Shaw will notify you a day or two before the session. If a new session time cannot be agreed on, the session fee will be refunded to the client.

Please arrive on time to your scheduled session. Your scheduled time is largely based on the sunlight and you will receive less images if we don't have enough light in the allotted time.
