Noora Studio Photography Session Policies
By booking a session with Noora Studio, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to the following policies and terms.
Noora Studio reserves the right to update these policies at any time. The policies in effect at the time of booking will apply to the client’s session.
Booking & Retainer Fee
A non-refundable retainer fee is required to reserve your session date and time. No session date will be held without receipt of the retainer fee.The retainer fee secures the photographer’s time and is applied toward the total session balance.
Payment Policy
The remaining balance must be paid in full prior to the photography session.
Online payments are due no later than 24 hours before the scheduled session.
Cash payments must be made before the start of the session.
The photography session will not begin until all outstanding balances have been paid in full.
Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy
If you need to cancel or reschedule your session, we ask for at least 48 hours’ notice.
The retainer fee is non-refundable.
With at least 48 hours’ notice, the retainer may be transferred to a future session within one (1) year of the original session date.
Failure to provide the required notice may result in forfeiture of the retainer fee.
Weather Policy
Outdoor sessions may be rescheduled due to unsafe weather conditions, including heavy rain, storms, or extreme temperatures. Rescheduling due to weather will be accommodated at no additional charge.
Late Arrival Policy
Please arrive on time for your scheduled session.
Clients arriving late will have their session shortened accordingly to avoid impacting other scheduled appointments. The session will still end at the originally scheduled time.

Reschedule the session at no additional charge, or
