1. SATISFACTION POLICY: There are no refunds for SOUL LIGHT PORTRAIT sessions but all portrait work is satisfaction guaranteed. If customers are unhappy with the portraits in any way, we encourage that they talk to photographer Tracy Wright Corvo about a possible re-shoot or re-working of the retouched file(s). Tracy Wright Corvo Photography is not at fault for Clients being dissatisfied with their photos because they do not like the hair, makeup, or clothing, but in such cases Clients are still encouraged to talk to the Photographer to determine whether a resolution can possibly be reached.
2. RETOUCHING POLICY: All digital images need processing to produce a polished professional look. All portraits without exception require retouching. Retouching is done after the session, by Tracy Wright Corvo’s retouching team using professional editing software to alter and improve photos resulting in a more desirable final image, thereby enhancing the subject’s overall appearance. Tracy Wright Corvo has full creative and artistic license to process and retouch the portraits. Special retouching requests that go beyond the regular portrait retouching, such as composite work, object removal, major alternations to skin, neck or body, major alternations to hair or wrinkles in clothing, detailed somatic alterations to body (slimming), or alternations to colors of clothing or background, are subject to additional fees. Tracy Wright Corvo Photography only delivers retouched photos to Clients. Retouched digital photo files are delivered in both high resolution and low resolution in jpg format. No raw files are ever provided unless Client agrees to pay for a full buyout of the images files.
3. RESCHEDULING: If Client cancels or asks to reschedule a scheduled photo sessions seven (7) or more calendar days before the scheduled session date or if Tracy Wright Corvo cancels or reschedules the booked session, the full deposit is refunded or, at the Client’s choice, applied to a mutually agreed upon rescheduled session date. If the Client cancels the booked session less than 7 calendar days before the scheduled session or fails to show at the scheduled session, the deposit amount will be be forfeited and will not be refunded to Client. If Client arrives late to the scheduled session, the amount of time late will be deducted from the time allotted for the session without any monetary refund to Client.
