Is there anyone you can  recommend?

Q: Can you hold a date for me?

A: Contract and deposit holds your date.

A request for a date places it under "temporary hold" This hold is good for 10 business days to allow time for contract and deposit to be completed and mailed.

Once deposit and contract are received the date is marked as "held" and booking is guaranteed.

Q: what if I pay a deposit and have to cancel my date?

A: As a general rule deposits are non refundable.  Any deposit made can be applied to another date if it is available or another service such as a Gift Caricature.

If a cancellation happens far enough in advance and the date is booked by another client then a refund of deposit can be given.

Q: Can you just come to my event and charge per picture?

A: Yes, if schedule allows and no hourly bookings come in before your event.
A deposit of one hours fee ($160.00) is required to hold the date.
