Each of our clients are very valuable to us and because we want to make each photography experience as wonderful and easy as possible and out of fairness to both our clients and ourselves we enforce the following studio policies for all sessions.

Please understand , the photographer wishes to maintain control over the presentation of the images. Social Media is the must comun way to share photos and the images can be easily modify. Our reputation could be compromised with the modification of the images.

You will also be asked to sign an agreement that states you have seen your hair and makeup and are satisfied with it and have had several opportunities to make any changes. After this agreement is signed and photos begin, we will not be responsible if the client doesn't like their hair or makeup for any reason. No refunds or re-takes will be made if the agreement is signed. If the client is unhappy with their hair or makeup and expresses that to the Hair & Makeup artist and/or Miguelangel Photo Studio, we will do everything in our power to change it so they do like it, within a reasonable time. If that is unable to happen we will have to reschedule the photo shoot and Hair & Makeup session, at the additional cost of to the client.
