Travel

TRAVEL CHARGES FOR ALL PHOTOGRAPHY CATEGORIES:
Travel distances start from Hico, TX. Kimberly caters to all of central Texas (DFW to Houston) and beyond. Travel is within the US only. International shoots will be quoted a custom travel cost.

WEDDING Trip Charges are waived for the first 200 miles (one way) when booking a full wedding package.

SENIORS or FAMILIES may lessen or eliminate their trip charges all together if they schedule a shoot on a week that Kimberly is in your area or when multiple students or families in your area schedule shoots on the same week or weekend. Contact Kimberly to inquire optional dates.

MILEAGE:
• Under 65 miles away from Hico, Texas is complimentary (this is up to 130-mile round trip)
• $.59c / per mile for any distances 66-200 miles away (one way), or 132-400 miles round trip (the first 65 miles to and from your location are complimentary).

• Anything above 200 miles away will be $-Custom Bid

HOUSING:

  • Any shoot time, plus the required round-trip driving distance, that equals or exceeds 8 hours in a day would require a hotel stay.

  • If any distance permits a hotel stay, these charges will be invoiced by KDP and paid for by the client by two weeks prior to your scheduled shoot.

  • For safety, four-star hotels or above are booked.

  • If the event where we are shooting is at a hotel, it would be our first choice to stay in that same location.

  • If you’d rather book the hotel for the photographer and their crew yourself, that is fine with us as long as the accommodations meet our hotel requirements, and the booking reservation details are given to KDP by two weeks prior to the scheduled shoot or event. Many clients do this to group us into their multi family room discounts, or to use their hotel points.

Retainer

RETAINER
• A non-refundable retainer of 50% is due upon scheduling any session or event to secure your date. Dates are not reserved until the retainer is made and the contract is signed. Retainers are non-refundable, however, if your shoot falls through and will not be taking place, the retainer maybe used toward another scheduled session within 6 months or be transferred to another local individual to be used within 6 months before it is considered forfeit.

• Remaining balances are due by two days prior to your scheduled shoot date, (or 30 days prior for all weddings & events).

Rescheduling

RESCHEDULING

• Rescheduling is approved for any bad weather days or family emergencies only. We will look at the next available dates as close to our shoot as possible to reschedule to

  • Available reschedule dates are not guaranteed.

  • Only one personal reschedule is permitted.

  • Any cancelled shoots forfeit any, and all, paid retainer, which are non-refundable.

  • Shoots are transferable to another individual if they reside within the same location or closer to the KDP office. The original scheduler is responsible for all payments in full prior to the transfer. All funding must be worked out between the initial scheduler and the new recipient amongst themselves. All funds to KDP come from the original scheduled client only, not the transferred client. The new transferable shoot recipients must sign all contracts and waivers and the shoot must be used within 6 months. No exceptions.
