Terms and Conditions

Last updated: October 12, 2025

Welcome to Michelle Baril Photography. By booking a session, making a purchase, or accessing this website, you agree to the following terms and conditions. Please read them carefully before using this site or engaging in services.

1. General Information

Michelle Baril Photography provides lifestyle portrait photography services for families, high school seniors, and athletes. Sessions take place in outdoor locations within and around Richmond, British Columbia.

All content on this website, including text, images, and designs, is the property of Michelle Baril Photography and is protected by copyright law. No images or materials may be copied, reproduced, or used without written permission.

2. Booking and Payment

A non-refundable retainer is required to secure your session date. The remaining balance is due before or on the session date unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. Session dates are not confirmed until payment of the retainer is received.

Prices and packages are subject to change without notice. Pricing at the time of booking will be honored for that session.

3. Cancellations and Rescheduling

Clients may reschedule a session once, provided at least 48 hours' notice is given. Weather-related reschedules will be determined at the photographer’s discretion.

Cancellations or no-shows result in the forfeiture of the session retainer. Additional reschedules may require a new booking fee.

4. Image Delivery and Editing

Final images are delivered via an online gallery within the time frame stated in your session confirmation. The photographer retains full creative control over image selection and editing style.

Raw or unedited files are not provided under any circumstances. Minor retouching is included, but extensive retouching requests may incur additional fees.

5. Copyright and Usage Rights

Michelle Baril Photography retains the copyright to all images. Clients are granted personal use rights for sharing and printing their purchased images.

Images may not be altered, sold, or used for commercial purposes without written permission. The photographer reserves the right to use images for portfolio display, marketing, social media, and promotional materials unless otherwise agreed in writing.

6. Liability

Every effort is made to provide a safe and professional experience. However, Michelle Baril Photography is not liable for any injury, loss, or damage to persons or property during sessions.

In the unlikely event of equipment failure, data loss, or unforeseen circumstances preventing image delivery, liability is limited to the amount paid for the session.

7. Client Responsibility

Clients are responsible for arriving on time and prepared for their session. Late arrivals may result in a shortened session time. Children must be supervised at all times during sessions.

8. Gallery Access and Orders

Online galleries are available for a limited time. Please download and back up your images promptly. Print and digital orders are final once submitted.

Due to the nature of digital media, no refunds will be issued once files have been delivered.

9. Privacy Policy

Client information is kept confidential and used solely for communication, session coordination, and delivery of products or marketing updates (if subscribed). Personal data is never sold or shared with third parties.

10. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia. Any disputes arising under these terms will be handled in Richmond, BC.
