Photo Session Rules

1. Booking, Payment & Cancellation
A session is confirmed only after 50% prepayment.
Remaining 50% is due on the day of the shoot.
Cancellations made less than 120 hours (5 days) before the session — prepayment is non-refundable.
Rescheduling within 72 hours (3 days) is subject to studio availability.

Rescheduled Bookings
If a client reschedules a booking and then cancels the rescheduled date, the prepayment becomes non-refundable.
If a client cancels on the day of the shoot, the client must reimburse 100% of the studio rental fee.

Prepayment Requirements & Blacklist Policy
If a client fails to make the required prepayment, the booking is considered invalid, and the studio may release the time slot to other clients.
Clients who cancel on the day of the shoot or fail to follow payment rules may be blacklisted.
Blacklisted clients can only book future sessions with 100% prepayment.
Without full prepayment, the booking will not be confirmed or reserved.
