Jen van der Vecht Photography

Details:

Thank you so much for your interest in my work! Offering a complimentary Family Portrait* photo shoot is a great way for me to introduce my work to new clients and for your family to enjoy the "photo shoot experience" with little commitment and no risk.

Your Groupon includes a 1 hour photo shoot (regularly $300.) and 1 - 11 x 17 custom print (regularly $95.).

I shoot outdoors, on location, at a quiet, natural Conservation Area in NE Richmond Hill. I use natural light and nature as my "studio". I will photograph your family in various compositions... individual portraits of each child, the children as a group and the family as a whole. My goal is to create a collection of portraits for your family, not just one family group shot. My shooting style is very casual (and fun!). While I shoot, I will encourage your family to be silly and goof around. I believe that the best portraits are those that capture a family laughing together and having a great time! My goal is to create a beautiful Collection of portraits of your family.

Within 10 days, you will be able to view your portraits online as digital proofs**. Your proofs will be viewed within a password protected gallery, which also functions as a shopping cart.

In addition to the 11 x 17 custom print provided with your Groupon, you will have the option of purchasing additional portraits in high res. digital file*** (jpeg). I offer digital files within 3 Collections (packages) to suit every budget. Collections start at $295..

Terms and Conditions:

Booking a shoot is an agreement to my terms & conditions. If you do not agree with my terms and conditions, you are welcome to request a refund from Groupon.

* Groupons are for Family Portrait shoots only (up to 10 family members). See restrictions below.

• This Groupon is a one time introductory offer. One per family. You may purchase additional Groupons as gifts.
• Digital files are not included with the Groupon.
• Sitting fees are separate from product fees. Your Groupon covers your sitting fee (photo shoot), then after you've viewed your edited proofs online, you may chose and purchase a Collection (package of digital files).  Purchase is optional.
• You may include extended family and pets. Grandparents, Aunts / Uncles / cousins are welcome! Additional family members are $25. each to a max of 15 people.
• Shoots can be rescheduled only once, due to illness. Repeated cancellations / requests for rescheduling will result in the forfeiture (or for rescheduling fee of $65.) of your Groupon. If you or your child are feeling unwell (illness / teething, etc...) please reschedule your shoot. Unfortunately, photographing an unwell subject is unproductive for all. Sorry!
• I shoot outdoors if the weather is sunny and mild (+0). I do not shoot in studio.
• I will be collecting the HST (13%) on your Groupon after your shoot.
• A shipping and handling fee of $20. + hst. is charged on all print orders. Your print is shipped directly from the lab to you (no pick up option). This is paid when you place your order.
