Rescheduling

We understand that life happens! If you need to change your date:

    • Booking Grace Window: Within 48 hours of booking, you may reschedule once at no fee, provided your session is scheduled 14 or more days in advance.

    • After the Grace Window: Please provide at least 48 hours’ notice to reschedule.

    • First reschedule (Mon–Fri): $75 fee.

    • Additional reschedules: $150 per change.

    • Credits must be used within 30 days of the original booking date.

Session Fees & Payments

Your session fee reserves our studio, hair & makeup team, and preparation time just for you. Because of this, all session fees and payments toward packages are non-refundable.

If you’re on a payment plan, you agree to complete all scheduled payments in full. Payments can always be applied as a credit toward a new date if you need to reschedule within 30 days of your original booking (see reschedule details below).

If you choose to cancel, payments made may be applied as a credit toward a future session within 30 days, subject to reschedule terms. Clients on payment plans remain responsible for completing all scheduled payments in full.

Punctuality

  • Please arrive on time. A 15-minute grace period is provided.

  • After 15 minutes, your appointment may be considered a no-show and forfeited without refund.

Studio Newport Retouching Policy

At Studio Newport, we use professional discretion to ensure each image is refined, flattering, and natural in appearance. Retouching enhances your portrait—it is not intended to create perfection or alter your natural features.

Requests for pixel-level or magazine-grade refinements beyond this standard are considered advanced retouching and billed at $75 per hour.

Included Retouching (Standard)

All purchased portraits include professional, natural retouching such as:

  • Light skin softening and smoothing
  • Temporary blemish reduction
  • Teeth whitening
  • Minor under-eye brightening
  • Color correction and tonal balance
  • Overall image refinement for a clean, editorial finish
  • Scar or stretch mark reduction

 

This level of retouching is intended for normal viewing and printing at the selected image size and crop.

Advanced Retouching (Optional)

More detailed, time-intensive retouching is available at $75 per hour, billed in 30-minute increments. This includes:

  • Tattoo removal or fading
  • Hair fill-in or reshaping
  • Body contouring or clothing adjustments
  • Magazine-level, precision retouching
  • Detailed, zoomed-in refinements beyond standard viewing

If you would like additional refinements for close inspection or specific details, advanced retouching can be added upon request.
