other very IMPORTANT information
There will be a $35 fee for sessions that will require the paper to be cut. (Examples: cake-smash sessions, bubbles, excessive use of water, etc.)
If a paper roll gets crumpled, the fee is $50. Please take care of the rolls and follow our studio guidelines to ensure this doesn't happen.
If the backdrop mount gets broken because rolls of paper fall down from the ceiling and are left hanging, the fee is $400 to replace the mount and motor. Please do not leave things broken in the studio. Give us a call so we can fix it or walk you through how to fix it.
If you cause damage in the studio that results in guests after you being unable to use it, you will be responsible for refunding their studio fee if they cancel. ($75 per hour they had rented.)
The paper backdrops are not single-use. They can be used multiple times, for multiple clients and photographers. A little dirt on the paper is fine! In most cases, it won't show up in photographs. Paper should only be cut when absolutely necessary. Cutting the paper unnecessarily could result in additional fees.
