| T H I N G S T O K N O W Contract Agreement Required For the practical purpose of clear communication, MartyTribble Photography requires a signed agreement for each photo shoot. MartyTribble Photography accepts cash or personal check. Checks must be cleared prior to shoot. A non-refundable $100 minimum deposit is required to book your photo shoot (300-500 for weddings depending upon package). This deposit is non-refundable and is applied directly to the balance of the total sitting fee.
(after deposit) must be received at least 1 week prior to shoot (2 weeks for events and weddings). All print orders must be paid in full prior to order fulfillment. Rush orders (when available) will incur additional convenience fees. Portrait packages are "as is", no substitutions. Additional prints may be ordered with any package at any time. It takes time and attention to detail to produced quality prints. Please allow up to 2 weeks for print orders to be processed. Additional time may be required for special requests, touch-ups and framing orders. If you are planning to use your photos for an event or mail announcements by a given date, be sure to schedule your session with Marty far enough in advance to allow adequate time for photos to be processed. All print orders are final and non-refundable. BE PREPARED! It is important that you be prepared for your shoot. Hair, makeup, and wardrobe is to be ready before the shoot start time. Please focus scheduling your shoot on a day you can take your time and pamper yourself while preparing for your shoot. This is so that you can be as relaxed as possible for you portrait... in other words, coming to your portrait after a stressful day at work or an argument with your partner is not a good idea. Your face has hundreds of tiny little muscles, and whether they are tense or relaxed makes all the difference in how your portrait turns out. Everyone gets nervous before a portrait. Remember, it is just a camera! Smile, have fun, let your personality shine through...you'll be happy you did! Families...please, dress naturally. You wouldn't go out dressed alike, why do it for you photographs? It's unnatural! Instead, choose a theme and dress individually based on that theme. For example, wearing sweaters and jeans...each person can choose their own sweater color and style and add a scarf or hat to add flavor. If you aren't sure, ASK! Poor outfit choices can be very distracting in your photos. Wearing your favorite clothing is a good start...solid colors can help bring the focus to your face and background choice. Bold patterns can either make or break a portrait, choose wisely. Choose your wardrobe with care...it can help to take a few shots with your point and shoot camera at home to inspect your wardrobe choices. Wardrobe changes are permitted keeping in mind the time limit of the shoot. Be on time for your appointment to ensure you receive all booked shooting time. Multiple locations will incur a travel fee. Keep in mind the time limit of the shoot. Bring any props you wish to use to bring out your personality in your portrait (your favorite chair, costume clothing, etc.). Great ideas for seasonal photos include bringing pumpkins and raking a big pile of leaves for Autumn photos, colorful scarves and hats for Winter photos, pushing family members about in wheelbarrows, etc. BE CREATIVE. The more creative and unique, the more likely it is to be an amazing photo. Props are available from your photographer, please inquire when scheduling your session. Plan to get close! Family portraits are at their best with genuine, heart-felt physical contact. Plan on hugs, holding hands, etc. Plan to have fun! The more laughter we can create together, the better your portraits will turn out. Should you need to reschedule your appointment with Marty, please do so at least 7 days in advance (1 month for events). With the 7 days notice, Marty will be happy to reschedule your shoot, but just this once. Cancellations that with less than the minimum notice, cancellations that do not reschedule, and second-time cancellations will forfeit any deposit fee therefore requiring a new deposit prior to scheduling a new shoot. Keep in mind that Marty's schedule fills quickly and cancellations may find a month or longer wait for rescheduling a shoot. Weather has the final word on shoots as Marty uses only available natural light. Low light does not render sharp photographs and photography equipment cannot be exposed to moisture or severe temperatures. It is a good idea to plan an indoor location or a "rain date" in case of weather issues. Weather cancellations will be made at Marty's discretion and rescheduled at no additional charge at the earliest available appointment time. Print orders are final and cannot be cancelled or altered for any reason. I N V E S T M E N T Contact Marty for pricing details. S A M P L E S E T S & T H E M E S Creativity is encouraged!
