Becky McEwan Photography: Mini Sessions

Who provides the services

Goldie & Co Limited, trading as Goldie & Co, provides these services. Photography is provided by Becky McEwan, whose legal name is Becky Kiriona.

1. What a Mini Session Is

Mini Sessions are short, pre-scheduled photography sessions offered on specific dates and times.

Each Mini Session includes:

• A fixed session duration
• A fixed number of professionally edited images
• A fixed price

Mini Sessions are not custom shoots and do not include consultation, flexible timing, or extended coverage.

2. Booking & Payment

All Mini Sessions are paid in full at the time of booking.

Bookings are confirmed only once payment has been received.

Unpaid or incomplete bookings may be released without notice.

All prices are in NZD. GST is charged where applicable.

3. Timing & Attendance

Mini Sessions operate on a strict schedule.

Clients must arrive on time. Late arrival will result in reduced session time or forfeiture of the session.

Sessions cannot be extended or delayed to accommodate late arrivals.

4. Cancellations & Rescheduling

Because Mini Sessions use limited, fixed time slots, change-of-mind refunds are not automatically available.

If a Client is unable to attend, the session may be transferred to another person with prior notice.

With at least 48 hours' notice, the Client may transfer the booking once to the next available Mini Session without a rescheduling fee.

With less than 48 hours' notice or for a no-show, Goldie & Co may retain a reasonable amount reflecting non-recoverable costs and loss directly caused by reserving the time slot. Any remaining amount will be refunded.

If Goldie & Co cancels the session, the Client may choose the next available Mini Session or a refund.

5. Discretionary Adjustments

In exceptional circumstances, Goldie & Co may agree to a credit or alternative arrangement.

Any such gesture is made in good faith and:

• does not create an entitlement to future adjustments
• does not waive these Terms of Service

Where a credit is agreed, its use, value, and validity period will be confirmed in writing.

6. Creative Style & Editing

Clients acknowledge that Mini Sessions are delivered in Becky McEwan's signature photographic style.

All delivered images are professionally retouched and finished at the photographer's discretion.

Requests to alter editing style, retouching approach, or overall look of the images are not accommodated.

7. Image Selection & Delivery

The number of final images delivered is fixed and communicated at the time of booking.

Additional images may be available for purchase where offered.

Final photography will normally be delivered within 4–8 weeks of the session and may take the full eight weeks during busy periods. Any materially different timeframe will be agreed in writing.

Images are delivered digitally unless otherwise stated.

8. Revisions

Revisions are not offered for Mini Sessions.

Delivered images represent the final finished work as curated and completed by the photographer.

9. Usage Rights

The Client is granted a non-exclusive licence to use the delivered images for personal, non-commercial use.

Images may not be altered, filtered, or used for commercial purposes without written permission.

Goldie & Co retains copyright. Goldie & Co may use images for its portfolio, website, social media, and promotional purposes unless the Client requests confidentiality in writing. If the Client asks us not to publish images of a child, we will not use those images for those purposes.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Goldie & Co is not liable for:

• Late arrival or missed sessions
• Behaviour of children or participants
• Weather conditions
• Third-party disruptions
• Loss of opportunity arising from missed Mini Sessions

To the maximum extent permitted by law, liability is limited to the amount paid for the affected services. This does not apply to liability or remedies that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

11. Consumer Rights & Governing Law

Nothing in these terms limits any rights or remedies available under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, Fair Trading Act 1986, or other applicable New Zealand law.

These terms are governed by New Zealand law.

12. Acceptance

By booking and paying for a Mini Session, the Client agrees to these Terms of Service.
