Terms & Conditions

Giveaway, Competitions & Project Promotions

PlTerms & Conditions:

Offley Photography is an in-demand, luxury portrait studio that is often booked 1-3 months in advance. 

If you have received a complimentary session with us, your reservation fee helps to prevent no-shows and late cancellations, ensuring that our clients are as serious and committed as we are to their having beautiful portraits created. 

Your reservation retainer fee is fully refunded on the day of your viewing and ordering session as long as you are present for your originally booked appointments. You may choose instead to apply the fee as a credit towards an artwork purchase at that time. There is no obligation to purchase.  Please note that for charity projects where there is a participation fee, this is donated directly to the charity and is non-refundable

What happens if I need to reschedule my portrait session?
Please book your date thoughtfully and with consideration as rescheduling your appointment can often be difficult and is not always possible.

We have a 7 day minimum rescheduling policy for portrait sessions.

If you must reschedule, please provide 7 days or more notice so that another family may be scheduled and we will then be able to rebook you on the Studio’s calendar–usually available weekday dates–and transfer your retainer fee. You must re-book your appointment within 48 hours of cancelling and must select a day within 30 days of your original appointment to receive the project gift certificate, your retainer reservation fee is no longer refundable but is converted into studio credit, valid for purchases in our studio for 6 months.   **Please note, weekends are currently booked out 2 months in advance as of this writing so rescheduling to a weekend date may not be possible

Rescheduling with less than 7 days notice requires an additional reservation retainer fee.

What happens if I need to cancel?
Cancelling your portrait session will result in the loss of your retainer reservation fee. It will be converted to studio credit, valid for artwork purchases in our studio for 6 months.

No shows for any appointments–portraits or meetings–result in total forfeiture of any fees/retainers paid.

What happens if I need to reschedule my viewing & ordering  session?
Rescheduling your viewing and ordering session with less than 72 hours notice results in any retainer paid becoming non refundable, though it may still be applied to a purchase.

Similarly, rescheduling your viewing and ordering session more than once results in any retainer paid becoming non refundable though it may still be applied to a purchase.

No shows for any appointments–portraits or meetings–result in total forfeiture of any fees/retainers paid.

Terms and Conditions:

1. A retainer fee secures portrait session for the date/time agreed upon.

2. The Studio’s reservation retainer fee is 100% refundable for the cancellation of a session within the first 48 hours of payment, no questions asked.  When participating in a charitable fundraising project, the participation fee is always fully nonrefundable.

3. If you decide to fully cancel the portrait session after the 48 hours window, the reservation retainer fee is nonrefundable and is automatically converted into a studio credit, valid for 6 months.

4. If you provide 7 days or more advance notice to reschedule by calling 07957 282 406, your reservation retainer fee is automatically transferred to secure a new date for one occurrence. While we will do our utmost to accommodate your schedule, please note that weekends are typically booked well in advance, making second session dates frequently available only on weekdays. You may be required to join a wait list.

  • you must re-book your appointment within 48 hours of cancelling and must select a day within 30 days of your original appointment to receive the project gift certificate.  Please note, weekends are currently booked out 2 months in advance so rescheduling to a weekend date may not be possible, you may have to have a weekday session.   If a new session date cannot be found within 30 days then the confirmation fee may be forfeited and no studio credit will be given, you will be required to pay an additional reservation fee which can be redeemed off your order.

5. If you cancel fully, your reservation retainer fee is forfeited and is converted into a studio credit valid for purchasing artwork for one year.

6. Rescheduling more than once without paying an additional non-refundable retainer fee is not possible at this time. Additional reservation fees, while non-refundable, may be applied in full to your order.

7.) Any more than a 20 minute appointment “late show” for your portrait session is automatically cancelled as there will not be enough time to create your portraits and no refunds are available.

8.)  If you are 20 minutes late or more to your reveal and ordering session, your meeting will be automatically cancelled and will need to be rescheduled so as not to negatively impact your experience or the experience of the family scheduled after you. Please note that if this happens,  your reservation deposit becomes fully non refundable. You are, however, still able to apply your deposit towards a purchase as long as we are able to reschedule your reveal and ordering session on our calendar within 30 days of your portrait session. 

Thank you for your kind understanding.
