policies

Please read the following policies before booking a session…

  • I do not take nude, lingerie, or maternity photography.

    Please, no birthday balloon photoshoots

    Ask for photographer referrals for photography under these categories!

  • Use email as our primary source of communication. My Instagram DMs can get crowded, and your messages may get lost! You can email me questions, updates, and any additional ideas for your photoshoot!

    DM me for quick responses only on the day of your shoot. Keep me updated on your ETA.

  • I do not require proof of vaccination to schedule a photoshoot with me.

    If you are feeling sick or experiencing COVID-like symptoms/have not fully recovered before our photoshoot, let’s be safe and reschedule our shoot. Take care of yourself!

  • All bookings require a NON-REFUNDABLE 25% deposit. The deposit goes towards the cost of your session to secure your chosen date & time on the day of inquiry.

    When filling out the booking form, you will enter your card information and pay the deposit amount. The rest of the amount is due the day of, after our shoot.

    The final payment will be made through an invoice sent to your email.

  • Any lateness will cut into your session time. I do not accept time extensions.

    Day-of cancellations & no-shows are charged the rest of the amount after the deposit to compensate for the time loss.

    If you need to cancel or reschedule your session, please notify me at least 3 days - 1 week in advance to avoid fees.

  • The rest of your payment is due the day of, after our shoot. You will pay through an invoice sent to your email or an in-person Square device.

    Tips are appreciated :)

  • After viewing and discussing your preview gallery, please let me know if there are any extra photos you’d like me to finalize!

    I charge $8 per additional photo. I’ll send you a payment invoice to your email for the additional images before sending your final gallery.

  • Please select the $50 studio session add-on if you want to shoot in our studio.

    Respect the following:

    ⋆ No Confetti/No Glitter. No Body Oils. No Smoking.

    ⋆ Our studio is street-level. We have storefront windows and curtains.

    ⋆ We have a changing room & bathrooms for any wardrobe changes + privacy needs.

    ⋆ Respectful of furniture, art pieces, and camera equipment.

    ⋆ Parking can be difficult since the studio is located in a neighborhood. Please arrive at least 5 minutes before your scheduled time slot to give yourself time to park.

    Photo, Video & Content Consent:

    When entering our space, you agree to the documentation of Creative Block Seattle, Maxine Eve Photography & MarkyBoy Productions. Content captured during your time in Creative Block will be used to promote and share the growth of our businesses. This may include interviews, photographs, recordings, and social media tagging. Please notify us if you or anyone in your party prefers not to participate in promotion content.

    Thank you!

  • Start collecting other photos and references you are inspired by for your shoot. You can create a mood board on Pinterest or edit the images into a collage. This will help me bring your vision to life!

    Book 2 WEEKS - 1 MONTH before your desired posting or launch date. Depending on my schedule, the date of receiving your final gallery may fluctuate if your post/launch date is not communicated when booking.

    Arrive at our discussed shoot location at least 5-10 minutes before your scheduled shoot time. If your shoot is on site, be dressed and ready to shoot. If your shoot is in-studio, you can change and touch up in the studio changing room/restrooms. Time overlapping our scheduled start time to wardrobe change, makeup/hair touch up, or other does not result in time extension.

  • I will direct you (and your group) with posing and suggest creative decisions.

    I may request consent to record footage for marketing, Tiktok, IG Reels & YouTube and offer to prop your phone up to capture your behind-the-scenes footage.

    You can bring a friend or two to assist you during your shoot.

  • I will take your final payment through cash, card, or an emailed invoice.

    The photos we capture will be culled based on lighting, photo quality, and pose fruition. These selects will be color graded, then sent to your email through Pixieset, where you will ❤️ your favorite photos depending on your photo package quantity.

    After you ❤️ your favorite photos, Pixieset will notify me that you are finished selecting. I will continue retouching the images, skin touch-ups, removing unwanted objects from the background, smoothing textures, etc.

    Want to ❤️ more? I charge $8/additional photo. Create a new favorites list called ‘additional photos’ to allow you to select more photos! I will send you an invoice to pay before you receive your finalized images.

    The finalized images will be sent to your email through Pixieset.
