Booking & Payments

When you book a session with Hector Pachas Photography, your invoice and online booking confirmation serve as a contract.

  • Once you receive an invoice, your session date and time are officially reserved.
  • Retainer fees and sitting fees are non-refundable because your booking prevents other clients from reserving that time slot.

  • You can reschedule once for free if you notify us at least 24 hours in advance.
  • Additional reschedules come with a $100 rescheduling fee.
  • Cancellations are non-refundable. If you don’t reschedule within 15 days, your session will be considered canceled.

  • The photographer may reschedule your session or choose an alternate location.
  • If the photographer is unavailable due to illness or an emergency, a qualified substitute photographer will be assigned.

Liability & Image Quality

  • In rare cases where images are lost or damaged due to technical issues, natural disasters, or unforeseen circumstances, Hector Pachas Photography is not responsible beyond refunding any deposits.
  • Over time, photographic colors may naturally fade due to the inherent qualities of dyes. By booking a session, you acknowledge this possibility.
