Policies
Last updated November 14, 2026. These Policies form a binding agreement between you (the "Client") and Itebara Studios, operated by Nathaniel Saint Rose of Old Bridge, New Jersey (the "Photographer"). Booking a session, paying a deposit or signing a Photo Release means you have read, understood and accepted these Policies.
BOOKING AND DEPOSIT
A session is reserved only when the Photographer confirms it in writing and receives a 25% deposit. The deposit is credited toward the total fee, and the balance is due on or before the session date. The first-time consultation is free and creates no obligation to book.
GRAND OPENING OFFER
20% off package prices and travel fees applies to the first ten paid bookings, through December 31, 2026. The offer cannot be combined with other offers, has no cash value, and ends when the tenth booking is paid or on December 31, 2026, whichever occurs first.
RESCHEDULING AND CANCELLATION
The Client may reschedule once at no cost with at least 48 hours' written notice. The deposit transfers to the new date, which must fall within 60 days of the original session. If the Client cancels, the deposit is non-refundable because it holds the date. Cancellation with less than 48 hours' notice, or a failure to attend, forfeits the deposit. If the Photographer cancels, the Client receives a full refund of all amounts paid.
LATE ARRIVAL, NO-SHOW AND WEATHER
Session time begins at the scheduled time. A Client who arrives more than 20 minutes late without notice is treated as a no-show, and the session fee is non-refundable. The session will still end on schedule. Outdoor sessions affected by rain, lightning, extreme heat or cold, high wind or other unsafe conditions will be rescheduled at no cost.
TRAVEL
No travel fee applies to locations reachable by bus or train. For all other locations, a travel fee is quoted and agreed in writing before the booking is confirmed.
DELIVERY
Edited photographs are delivered through a private online gallery within 7 days of the session, in the number stated for each package. Unedited and RAW files are not provided. The Client must download the gallery within 60 days. The Photographer keeps backups for a reasonable period but does not guarantee that files remain available after 60 days.
REFUNDS AND SATISFACTION
Photography is a custom service, and payments are not refunded after the session takes place. If the Client reasonably believes an edited image is defective, the Client must notify the Photographer in writing within 7 days of delivery. The Photographer will re-edit or otherwise correct the issue at no charge. Nothing in these Policies limits any right the Client has under New Jersey law.
COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE
The Photographer owns the copyright in all photographs under the U.S. Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 201). The Client receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable license for personal, non-commercial use, including printing and sharing on personal social media with credit to Itebara Studios. Resale, sublicensing, entry in contests, or alteration of images with filters or edits requires written permission. Commercial, business or brand use requires a separate written release.
PHOTO USE, RELEASE AND CONSENT
The Photographer uses images of identifiable people for portfolio, website, social media or advertising only where the subject has given written consent through a signed Photo Release. By booking, the Client agrees to be photographed and to the storage of the photographs as described in these Policies. Consent to promotional use is separate from consent to be photographed. It may be declined or limited without affecting the booking.
Consent is given voluntarily and may be withdrawn in writing at any time. Withdrawal applies to future use. It does not reach materials already lawfully published, although the Photographer will remove such materials from the Photographer's own website and social accounts on request where reasonably possible.
MINORS
A person under 18 may be photographed only if a parent or legal guardian books the session, signs the Photo Release on the minor's behalf, and remains present for the entire session. By booking, the parent or guardian: (a) confirms they have legal authority to consent for the minor; (b) accepts responsibility for supervising the minor at the location, including traffic, water, heights, animals and unfamiliar terrain; (c) consents to the minor being photographed and the photographs being stored; and (d) controls whether any image of the minor is used for promotion, which will not occur without separate written consent. The Photographer will not photograph a minor unsupervised. The Photographer does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and this website is not directed to children.
SAFETY, HAZARDS AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK
Photography sessions can involve physical and environmental hazards, including uneven ground, stairs, wet surfaces, traffic, weather, water, animals, heights, insects, crowds, moving subjects, props, and studio or location equipment such as light stands, umbrellas, cables, tripods and bright strobes. Locations may also present hazards that cannot be foreseen. The Client agrees to: (a) disclose before the session any medical condition, allergy, mobility limit, photosensitivity or other condition that could affect their safety; (b) follow the Photographer's reasonable safety instructions at all times; (c) avoid unsafe positions, equipment and locations; and (d) not bring alcohol, illegal drugs or weapons to a session.
The Photographer may pause, relocate, shorten or end any session that becomes unsafe. A session stopped for safety reasons not caused by the Client will be rescheduled at no cost. A session ended because of the Client's conduct or non-compliance with safety instructions may be ended without refund.
To the extent permitted by law, the Client voluntarily accepts the inherent risks of participating in a photography session, except risks caused by the Photographer's negligence or willful misconduct. The Client is responsible for obtaining any permission needed to use a location, including private property, and for any location, permit or parking fees, unless agreed in writing.
PROPERTY AND WARDROBE
The Client is responsible for their own clothing, props, jewelry and personal belongings. The Photographer is not responsible for loss, theft or damage to Client property unless caused by the Photographer's negligence. The Client is responsible for damage to equipment caused by the Client or their guests.
UNFORESEEABLE EVENTS
Neither party is liable for a delay or failure in performance caused by an event beyond its reasonable control, including illness or injury, severe weather, fire, flood, power or internet outage, equipment failure, transport disruption, government order, public-health restriction or emergency. The Photographer will make reasonable efforts to provide backup equipment and to reschedule at no cost. If a rescheduled session cannot take place within 90 days, the Client will receive a refund of amounts paid, less any non-recoverable travel or third-party costs already incurred.
DATA, PRIVACY AND SECURITY
The Photographer uses reasonable administrative, technical and physical measures to protect files and Client information. No system is completely secure. The Photographer is not liable for unauthorized access that occurs despite those reasonable measures. Memory card or equipment failure is handled under Unforeseeable Events.
CONDUCT
The Client agrees to treat the Photographer and any assistants with respect. The Photographer may end any session immediately, without refund, in the event of harassment, threats, unlawful activity, or conduct that puts anyone at risk.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permitted by New Jersey law, the Photographer's total liability for any claim arising from a booking is limited to the amount the Client paid for that session. The Photographer is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, including lost income, lost opportunities or emotional distress. This limitation does not apply to liability for death or personal injury caused by the Photographer's negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct, or to any liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG
If a dispute arises, the Client agrees to notify the Photographer in writing and allow 14 days to resolve it in good faith before filing any claim. Nothing in these Policies prevents either party from seeking urgent relief from a court.
PRIVACY
The Photographer collects your name, email address, phone number, Instagram handle, the session details you submit through forms, and photographs taken during your session. This information is used to respond to inquiries, schedule and deliver sessions, provide your gallery and maintain business records. Personal information is not sold. It is shared only with service providers that operate the business, including Squarespace (website, forms and payments) and the email provider, who process it under their own privacy terms. Card payments are handled by a third-party payment processor, and the Photographer does not store full card numbers. Newsletter emails include an unsubscribe link. To request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information, contact itebara.fnp@stillrose.studio. Deletion is subject to any records the Photographer must retain by law.
GOVERNING LAW AND CONTACT
These Policies are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey. Any action must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Middlesex County, New Jersey. Questions: itebara.fnp@stillrose.studio or (732) 841-3641.
CONSENT AND ACCEPTANCE
Before booking, the Client must read these Policies in full. By checking the box below, the Client confirms that they have read and understood these Policies and agree to them. The Client consents to being photographed and to the storage of their photographs. If the Client is booking for a minor, they confirm they are the parent or legal guardian with authority to consent for that minor. The Client acknowledges the Safety, Hazards and Assumption of Risk terms. Promotional use of any image requires a separate, signed Photo Release.
