CANCELLATION/RESCHEDULING
If the need arises to cancel your appointment please do so over the telephone at least 48 hours prior to your session. If you, or anyone being photographed, are feeling sick we do suggest rescheduling. Sick people generally do not enjoy being photographed and this will show in your portraits.
EXCLUSIVE PHOTOGRAPHER
Please do not bring your own camera, camcorder, cell phone or any other recording devices to your session, or allow any family members to do so. If this situation occurs, the photographer reserves the right to terminate the session. If your session is terminated in this way, there will be no refund given.
ARTISTIC SELECTION
Many images are captured during the session. Afterwards, each image is put through a careful selection process. You will see only the images that meet the high standards of the photographer. Images with eyes closed, unflattering poses and duplicate images are removed permanently after the photographer completes this selection process. The selection process is entirely the right of the photographer and part of the custom portrait process.
PRINT & PRODUCT PRICES
Prices are subject to change at any time. The prices in effect at the time of your session will be valid for 30 days after your session.

We accept cash, check and debit/credit card. A $30 fee will be charged for all returned checks. Payment plans are available. Ask a Monarch team member for details.
ORDERING
Full payment is due at the time of ordering. Orders paid by check will not be placed until the check has cleared. Each image is printed to order and cannot be changed or canceled after payment has been made. All sales are final. Sales tax of 7.75% will be added to your order total. Please allow 2 weeks for delivery of your wall portraits.

Reshoots are offered at the discretion of the photographer only and will not incur an additional session fee. We do not offer to reshoot for unfortunate personal choices such as hair, clothing, etc.
