Booking Policy
Please make sure to read all policies before booking. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me by filling out an inquiry form!
Booking and Payments:
Consultations are required before all bookings. Please fill out my inquiry form before proceeding to book a session.
At the time of booking, a 50% non-refundable deposit of the total cost of your shoot is required to secure your appointment date and time. All payments can be made through Zelle. By paying the deposit, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to ALL of my policies.
The final balance is due at the conclusion of the session. Proofs will not be sent until the remaining balance is paid.
Please make sure to book at least 2 weeks in advance of your desired shoot date.
Final retouches will be returned to clients within 10–14 business days from the day you make your selections. This timeframe does not include weekends or holidays.
Clients who wish to purchase unedited, unwatermarked images can do so for $150. These images will be delivered in the highest quality JPEG format.
Additional edited images are available for $20 each.
All final retouches will be edited with GolderBaahStudios' signature editing style. Please remember that you are booking me based on my unique editing and shooting style. If there are specific changes you would like, please let me know, and I will do my best to accommodate.
A rush fee is available for expedited processing:
$100 for a 2–3 day turnaround
$150 for next-day turnaround
Image Files
If you are unable to attend your photo session, the deposit will act as a cancellation fee. However, if you reschedule your appointment at least 72 hours before the original session date and book a new date and time, the deposit can be credited towards the future session. If a mutually agreeable date and time cannot be found, the deposit will be retained as a cancellation fee.
GolderBaahStudios takes the utmost care in handling exposure, transportation, and processing of photographs, using both professional-grade and backup equipment. However, in the unlikely event that the client’s photographs are lost, stolen, or destroyed, whether due to reasons within or beyond GolderBaahStudios' control, we will refund the full amount paid for the photoshoot.
Cancellations
Photoshoot Etiquette
All clients and GolderBaahStudios are expected to arrive at the photoshoot on time.
If I am late for your shoot, I will inform you in advance and ensure you receive the full duration of the time you have booked.
Clients are expected to come with a professional mindset to create the best images possible and to make efficient use of the time. Any rude or disrespectful clients or guests will be asked to leave.
If the chosen location is more than 30 minutes away from me, an additional travel fee will be added to the package price. The exact fee will depend on the location. For packages that include multiple locations, they should be no more than 15 minutes apart. If the locations are more than 15 minutes apart, an extra travel fee of $15 will apply.
Time is valuable, and I aim to respect that. There is a 10-minute grace period before a late fee is applied to the session.
After 10 minutes, a $20 late fee will be added.
If you are more than 20 minutes late and have not contacted me via text message, phone call, or direct message on Instagram, the session will be canceled, and the deposit will not be refunded. To reschedule or book a new session, a new deposit will be required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if the weather is bad?
I understand that weather conditions can affect plans, so rescheduling due to bad weather is allowed. We can arrange to reschedule the photoshoot for another day with the same deposit. If we cannot find a new session date, I can refund the deposit.
Do you send the raw files?
I do not provide raw or unedited photos from the session. You will receive only the number of photos included in your package, fully edited by me.
Do you travel outside of the DMV area?
Yes, I do travel outside of the DMV area; however, an additional travel fee will be added to the package price.
