disclaimers & policies
hi! I just wanted you to know…
if at any time during or before our shoot, you feel uncomfortable with hair, dress, makeup, concept, or anything pertaining physically or mentally to your overall wellbeing as it relates to the process, please be vocal and let me know. I will not be upset and will do everything in my power to make you feel excellent. My top mission is comfort and confidence.
if at any time during or before a shoot
you feel uncomfortable or unsafe with a chosen location and/or requested poses PLEASE be vocal and let me know. I will not be upset. We’ll work together to switch to something/somewhere you’re comfortable with, but as hard as I try to read models during the shoot, I am not psychic and need you to let me know.
when agreeing to a shoot, or hiring me to photograph you
you are agreeing to work together with me for a mutually beneficial creative endeavor. I inquire about model content release on a case by case basis. However in the case that you have volunteered to model for a shoot of my own creative design, you are agreeing that all photographs, after being seen and approved by you, will be publicly available for viewing on my website, portfolio and possibly other social media tied to my business. If you are not comfortable with our photos being shared, please let me know in advance. As a model, you will always be recognized/tagged in any photos.
*Permission to share photos from hired work will be requested if need be.
when hiring me to take your photo
you are agreeing to a 50% non-negotiable deposit to secure your date which can be submitted via Venmo or Paypal. In the instance of raincheck/reschedule your deposit will be transferred to a new date. I require a full 48 hours notice before cancellation of a shoot, or your deposit cannot be transferred and will be kept. The remainder of your payment can be made upon completion of our shoot via Venmo, Paypal, cash or check.
when we work together it’s beautiful
and it’s mutually beneficial, which is one of my favorite things about what I do. I ask that you tag me in any photograph of mine that you post to social media post-shoot. On Instagram I can be found as @celesticos and on Facebook, you can tag @jillianbenhamphoto and find my page. This is how you can help me be recognized and help my small business grow.
Thank you, I seriously appreciate it.
*This applies to both voluntary and hired work
You will receive maximum amount of photos possible
I like to give to you as much as I possibly can. If I shot what I conclude to be ten (10) gorgeous photos of you in an hour, you’ll get all ten. I guarantee six (6) digital high quality photos per hour.
What I send to you post-editing will always meet the minimum. The photos you receive meet what I deem suitable for release, and even if you want more “for your eyes only”, I cannot accommodate that while still meeting my own standard.
Etc!
Please try your best to be timely and I will as well. I am not bothered by limited lateness, but depending on the nature of our shoot, we may start missing out on crucial daylight. Please communicate and let me know.
I can be busy. Photography (for now) is not my only line of work. Depending on the time of year and content of our shoot it may be 2-3 weeks before you receive your edited photos. If something is time sensitive let’s discuss it during booking!
You can alwaysS bring along one friend or family member to our shoots if it makes you feel more comfortable!
Lastly, theft or reproduction of my images without permission is illegal. If this happens you will be persecuted for unlawful infringement.
