Privacy & Confidentiality

All client data, contracts, and session files are confidential and will not be shared externally.

If marketing permission is granted, clients may revoke consent within 90 days’ written notice of the session.

The studio is not responsible for use of images once permission has been granted and the images are published.

Session Fees & Payments

A non-refundable session retainer of $599 is required to reserve your session date.

This fee does not include any images or products. All images and products are purchased separately at the Reveal & Ordering Appointment.

A minimum purchase requirement of $1,500 (in addition to the session retainer) applies to all bookings, including sessions secured through giveaways or VIP promotions.

A valid credit card must be kept on file for cancellations, reschedules, no-shows, and outstanding balances. Two valid credit cards are required on file. Maranda Marie Photography may process a nominal test charge (e.g., $5) to confirm validity.

Payment plans are available prior to the session only. These are non-refundable, non-transferable, and not redeemable for cash. Payment frequency may be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Defaulted payments (3 failed attempts) will result in cancellation of the plan and cancellation of the boudoir session.

Giveaway or VIP session offers: While the session retainer may be waived or discounted, standard product minimums and pre-session payment plans apply once a session is booked.

Refunds

All sales are final. No refunds will be issued for session retainers, products, or payment plans.
