These Studio Policies apply to all clients of Tara Arseven LLC, including but not limited to Tara Arseven Photography, Stellaris Studios, and Aurora Lust. By booking any photography or videography services, the client agrees to the following terms and conditions.
1.1. Weddings and Events:
A non-refundable booking fee of $1,000 is required to secure the date. The remaining balance is due in two equal payments: one halfway through the planning timeline, and the final payment is due no later than thirty (30) calendar days before the event date.
1.2. Portraits, Proposals, Boudoir, Branding, and Other Sessions:
The full session fee must be paid in order to reserve the date. This fee is non-refundable and will be credited toward the contracted service.
1.3. Proposals:
All proposals issued are valid for seventy-two (72) hours. After this time, the date may be released without further notice. Soft holds do not guarantee availability.
2.1. All prices are subject to applicable sales tax (currently 8.25% for Texas).
2.2. Accepted payment methods include credit card, debit card, Zelle, Affirm, and bank transfer (where applicable).
2.3. Payment plans are available and must follow the agreed-upon schedule. Failure to adhere to the payment plan may result in the cancellation of services or the delay in deliverables.
2.4. Returned Payments:
A $50 fee will be assessed for any returned payment, declined credit card, or chargeback attempt not authorized by Tara Arseven LLC.
3.1. Client-Initiated Rescheduling:
Clients may request to reschedule their session once, with at least seven (7) days' notice. Rescheduling is subject to availability and must be completed within six (6) months of the original date. Additional rescheduling requests may incur a fee.
3.2. Client-Initiated Cancellation:
All payments made are non-refundable. Cancellations result in forfeiture of the retainer and any payments made.
3.3. Photographer-Initiated Cancellation:
In the rare event that Tara Arseven LLC is unable to perform the services due to illness, emergency, or force majeure, all efforts will be made to reschedule or find a suitable replacement. If rescheduling is not possible, all monies paid will be refunded in full, and this shall constitute the client's sole remedy.
4.1. Clients must arrive on time and be prepared for the session. Tardiness may reduce shooting time without a refund or reschedule.
4.2. Tara Arseven LLC maintains a professional and inclusive working environment. Discriminatory, abusive, or inappropriate behavior toward staff or collaborators will result in immediate termination of services without refund.
4.3. Minors are not permitted at adult-only sessions (such as boudoir) under any circumstances.
5.1. Tara Arseven LLC retains the copyright to all images. Clients receive a personal-use license unless otherwise specified in writing.

5.3. Commercial use, resale, or third-party distribution requires a separate written agreement and usage license.
5.4. Tara Arseven LLC reserves the right to use any images created for portfolio, marketing, website, publication, or promotional use unless the client has submitted a written request to opt out prior to the session.
6.1. Standard turnaround time for portrait galleries is 2–4 weeks unless otherwise specified in the contract. The turnaround time for weddings/elopements is 6-8 weeks unless otherwise specified in the contract.
6.2. Final images are delivered via online gallery platforms. Products such as albums, prints, or physical deliverables are processed after client approval.

7.2. Additional retouching requests may be subject to an additional fee and are not guaranteed.
7.3. No unedited or RAW files will be delivered, and clients may not request editing changes to the photographic style.
8.1. In the unlikely event of technical failure, data loss, equipment malfunction, or unforeseen circumstances that prevent fulfillment of the contract, liability is limited to the return of all monies paid.
8.2. Tara Arseven LLC is not liable for missed images caused by interference from other parties, late arrivals, or noncompliance with session guidelines.
9.1. The studio is a private, by-appointment-only location. Entry is limited to scheduled clients and pre-approved individuals.
9.2. Clients agree to abide by location guidelines, including cleanliness, respect for studio property, and no unauthorized use of props or gear.
9.3. For on-location sessions, clients are responsible for securing all necessary permits, permissions, and access rights. Any fees incurred (e.g., parking, entry, location rental) are the client’s responsibility unless otherwise specified.
Tara Arseven LLC is not responsible for failure to perform services due to circumstances beyond control, including but not limited to acts of God, weather, pandemic, fire, governmental orders, or interruption of transportation. In such cases, best efforts will be made to reschedule.
Tara Arseven LLC reserves the right to revise these Studio Policies at any time without prior notice. The most current version will always be available on the website. Continued use of services after policy changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
