What is My Experience as a Photographer

Been in business since 2007. I have used both studio set ups and natural outdoors. I prefer outdoors as that is where you look your best.

Unwatermarked, digital files. Photographer chooses which image(s) are included in the lifestyle package. Commercial & Product packages are different.

The parties agree to cheerful cooperation & communication for the best possible result within the definition of this assignment, the photographer is not responsible if key individuals fail to appear or cooperate during photography sessions or for missed images due to details not revealed to photographer.  The photographer cannot be responsible for unusable images due to distractions from other parties, eyes being closed and other circumstances beyond the photographers control.

I will not show, distribute or sell any unedited, raw images that do not make the cut for your package. I, the photographer, decide which images taken will be printed or emailed to you.  All images, electronic or prints are owned by Capture & Design, Photography by Heather Palmer and may not be edited or altered in any way by anyone else other than Capture & Design Photography by Heather Palmer.  In regard to any digital images that you may receive or purchase: Client is licensed to print copies up to the allotted size for personal use only, that includes sharing a printed image to family and/or friends. You may share the digital file on social media sites as well. Business or commercial use prohibited. Any unauthorized display, reproduction, sale, entrance in competitions, distribution, alteration ( includes no cropping, color adjustment, text overlays etc), or defamatory, malicious other misuse in digital or print format is strictly prohibited and can be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. For permission to use these images in digital or print format for other than personal use, please contact Capture & Design, Photography by Heather Palmer

You hereby consent to and authorize the use and reproduction in print and electronic format by Capture & Design, Photography by Heather Palmer of any and all photographs taken on this day for any purpose without any monetary compensation.

Please note I do respect people’s privacy and I have a lot of work that I don’t share as per clients requests.

I do not want to pressure a child into cooperation or smiles, I take my cues from them. A child’s innocence of smiles & the odd frown are what make lifestyle photography so unique that I cannot guarantee smiles or cooperation on the child’s part. What we capture will be your photos. Please ensure that you the parent are present during the entire shoot and to encourage & discipline your child if need be.
