I encourage you to reschedule promptly to lock in the current pricing, as my rates are subject to change. Please remember that deposits would be non-refundable for the above reasons.
If I happen to be unwell on the day of our shoot, I'll let you know as soon as possible. Should rescheduling be inconvenient for you, I will provide a full refund.
