I don't use filters, I use professional programs for video and photo editing, where I give unique colors that make my style of photography unique.
-
Katherine Monge is not responsible for accidents that happen during the session. She is also not responsible if the amount of photos is not fulfilled due to natural reasons such as bad weather, people, or children that are not photographed. If there is any problem or a sick person it is better to reschedule your session.
-
A retainer of €50 & signed contract are required to reserve your date and is non refundable. However, the above stated retainer will be applied to the total cost of your package.
The non refundable retainer is a fee that retains the photographer’s services for your scheduled session date that the photographer has turned down other work for.

You can make a change two weeks in advance for regular sessions and one month in advance for Weddings and Births. If it is due to illness you can cancel and hopefully reschedule within 3 weeks. If you do not show up for our appointment or do not respond on time, the booking fee will be compensation for lost time as I could have had another session in your place.
-
Deliveries have priority, that's why I only accept one per month. If you have a session and call me for a delivery we will postpone our appointment.
If this situation occurs, the photographer will send another qualified professional.

Due to the lack of information about how long flash drives can hold information, Monge Photography recommends that clients back up images to media formats are other than flash drives, such as an external hard drive or the cloud.
