All session bookings are subject to availability. To book a session, you must complete the booking process through our website or by contacting us directly at (305) 555-PHOT (7468) or [email protected]. A non-refundable deposit, typically 25% of the total session fee, is required to secure your booking. This deposit will be applied to the final balance.
Upon booking, you will receive a confirmation email detailing the date, time, location, and services booked. It is your responsibility to review this confirmation and notify us immediately of any discrepancies. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any booking at our discretion.
2.2. Studio Rentals
Studio rentals are available on an hourly or daily basis. Rental rates are outlined on our Services page. Bookings for studio rentals require a signed rental agreement outlining the specific terms of use, including equipment usage, studio rules, and liability waivers. A security deposit may be required to cover potential damages to the studio or equipment.
Rental clients are responsible for setting up and dismantling their own equipment. The studio must be left in the same condition as it was found. Any damages or excessive cleaning required will be billed to the rental client.

In the event of a no-show without prior notice, the full session fee will be charged.
3.2. Session Cancellations by Lumiere Studios
In the unlikely event that Lumiere Studios needs to cancel your session due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g., photographer illness, studio maintenance, inclement weather), we will make every effort to reschedule your session at a mutually convenient time. If rescheduling is not possible, we will refund your deposit in full.
3.3. Studio Rental Cancellations
Cancellations for studio rentals must be made at least one week prior to the rental date to receive a full refund of the rental fee (excluding any security deposit).
