The full list, published here rather than buried in an agreement. Anything you add is priced in writing before you book.
What you may do with the images
Professional Use — included with every session. You may use your finished images, in perpetuity and worldwide, on your own LinkedIn and social profiles, your employer's website and biography page, speaker and press materials, book jackets, and your own website and marketing. Copyright remains with the photographer.
Personal Use, with print permission — your family's own prints, albums, cards and personal social accounts. Copyright remains with the photographer.
Commercial Advertising — quoted separately. Paid media, third-party campaigns, product advertising, resale, and exclusivity.
Terms, the same for every session
- A 50% retainer on signing reserves your date. The balance is due before the session.
- The retainer is non-refundable, but it moves with a rescheduled date.
- Delivery is 7–10 business days from your selections.
- Travel within 20 miles of Overland Park is included. Beyond that, travel is quoted per trip before booking.
- Sessions are on location — your office, your home, or a setting we scout together across the Kansas City metro.
