Clare Cassidy Photography

Photographing and capturing a moment to keep forever is a passion of mine. I truly enjoy photography as it is meditating for me and is a meaningful purpose in my life. It is a no brainer, when you see my photos, that children are my favorite subjects. However, my eye in photography is not limited to just kids, I am able to photograph pretty much anything, sans sports.

I am currently based in Livermore, CA. However, I am open to traveling.

All my sessions require a contract. I also offer payment plans.

To secure my services for your wedding, 50% nonrefundable retainer is expected at the contract and full payment 2 weeks prior to the wedding date. 

Policy
Due to my booking constraints and demand I require 50% retainer of the session up front, due at the time of the session booking, the remainder due on the day of the photo session itself. Additional fees for add-ons, etc., are due in a similar manner; 50% at the time of order with the remainder due upon delivery. I have a 24 hours cancellation policy for all Senior, Family and Children sessions and a cancellation policy for all weddings. I do not refund unless the circumstances were dire. In the event of a cancelation fees already paid may be applied toward future sessions. However, these photo sessions must be completed with 6 months of the cancelation or all fees will be forfeited.
