Pre-Session Payment Plan | Pearl Davies Photography

Pre-pay and Pre-Session Payment Plans

The Pearl Davies Pre-Session Payment Plan option is an amazing & interest free way to make payment for your Pearl Davies session and collection products and in a way that doesn’t break the bank. The cost of a photography session and gorgeous products may seem intimidating, so I am eliminating one of the biggest factors that holds some women back from enjoying this experience.

Unlike our payment plans, which is for paying off your product purchases AFTER your session, the Pre-Session Payment Plan is set up for paying for your session and products BEFORE and leading upto your session, and it’s interest free so you can responsibly make payment towards your dream collection with Pearl Davies Photography. Can I hear an amen sister! YASSS!

With the Pre-Session payment plan you don't need to have booked your session date, it could be months down the track. All clients are offered a pre-session payment plan so you can start making payments off of your collection now so that when your session date arrives there's no worries about making payment at your image debut as you've been making payments over time.

After you select your collection, you can contribute minimum $50+ per month to your Pre-Session Payment Plan. You will sign a contract and we will take a method of payment and set up your automated payments towards your collection.

STEP 1: BOOK YOUR SESSION DATE (BUT ONLY IF YOU WANT)
I recommend booking your session far enough in advance so that you have ample time to save for the collection and products you want (see step 2).

STEP 2: CHOOSE YOUR COLLECTION OR SET A WEEKLY, FORTNIGHTLY OR MONTHLY PAYMENT AMOUNT
Choose the collection you plan on purchasing from our Print, Digital and A-La-Cart Collections. After your selection we can calculate your Pre-session Payment Plan. If you're not sure as to what collection you want it's all good girlfriend, just select your preferred payment amount and sequence (either weekly, fortnightly or monthly) and we can go from there. This gives you an open option to select your preferred collection at a later date.

STEP 3: SET UP YOUR PRE-SESSION PAYMENT PLAN WITH PEARL DAVIES
You will receive a contract to read through, understand and sign and I will take a means of payment, usually card details. We will then set up your automated weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments. Once this is complete we will start to chat about your session, your location, your set design and wardrobe - lots of fun to be had. If your session date isn't booked yet that's ok we can still plan, but if you're all booked in, you’ve decided on a collection, now it’s time to prep and get excited for your session! YAY! I will send you session prepping guides filled with handy tips on how to prepare for your shoot. It's whole lotta fun and you are going to love your legacy products at the end of this experience.

Pre-Session Payment Plan Q&A

WHAT ARE THE PAYMENT OPTIONS REGARDING THE PURCHASING OF MY IMAGES?

Every client is offered a Pre-Session Payment Plan that can start as early as the day they book their session and can extend until the week prior to their session. We also provide our clients with Bonuses valued at over $1000 if they Pre-Purchase a Collection. Should you decline to set up a payment plan or pre-purchase a collection, you will simply come to your Image Reveal & Ordering Appointment following your Vintage Pinup and Boudoir Session and pay in full for your purchase, however you will not be able to take advantage of the bonuses.

WHAT IS A PRE-SESSION PAYMENT PLAN?

For clients who wish to discuss setting up a payment plan, we offer a payment plan phone call. Basically, how it works, is we either select a Collection or work within your budget and create a payment plan from that monetary amount. If there are 12 weeks before your session, for instance, you could choose to have your payment plan be automatically drafted weekly, fortnightly, or monthly for a set amount so that when your session date arrives, your order is paid in full. Payment plans are offered on amounts of $1800 or higher only. Pre-Session Payment Plans are not refundable if you cancel your session or if you choose to spend less than the amount you financed. We will send you a separate Payment Plan contract which will outline all of the terms.

WHY WOULD I WANT TO DO A PRE-SESSION PAYMENT PLAN?

Well, for starters, it makes the day of your session less about the money and more about the experience. We strive to give all of our clients an amazing day of pampering, but obviously everyone walks away with a Collection of amazing images from their session - which costs money! This can be a bit stressful at the end of the very, very long and exhausting shoot days. Pre-paying for your album/collection lets us skip the payment step, so you can focus on loving and enjoying every minute of your shoot without the stress of having to swipe your card at the end. Not to mention, the Bonuses we give our clients for doing a Pre-Session Payment Plan are worth it just for the perks!! Free sets, access to our specialty items, additional wardrobe changes, free product, you name it! If you work it right you can get up to $1000 in free goodies. All just for paying for what you were going to get at your ordering appointment anyways.

CAN I GET A PAYMENT PLAN AFTER THE IMAGE REVEAL & ORDERING APPOINTMENT?

No, we do not offer payment plans after the Boudoir Session or after the Image Reveal & Ordering Appointment. Payment plans are only available between the date of booking and the session date.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE IMAGES I DO NOT PURCHASE?

We delete them after your Image Reveal & Ordering Appointment.

WHAT ARE TYPE OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?

We accept cash, credit/debit, PayPal, PayPal Credit. We do NOT accept checks. For Payment Plans, it must be credit/debit or PayPal Credit.

CAN I MAKE ADDITIONAL PURCHASES AT A LATER DATE?

As discussed in the Session Guide and your contract, we do not archive your images after your ordering appointment. Therefore, you will not be able to return and order additional images. However, if you purchase the Digital Collection with the high-resolution files, you can send them to us for printing or you may print them through a third-party.

THERE IS NO OPTION TO HAVE AN ONLINE GALLERY OR SECOND ORDERING APPOINTMENT.
All sales are final. Once your Image Reveal & Ordering Appointment are complete, we will have you fill out a Final Sale agreement, which states that we cannot allow for changes to your order. This is studio policy for all clients and no exceptions will be made. You may not change, alter, add, reduce, or request any other types of changes after the Ordering Appointment.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING THE PRE-SESSION PAYMENT PLAN..?

Setting up your Pearl Davies Pre-Session Payment Plan allows you to have a low upfront cost, which makes it easily affordable for ANYONE! It also allows you to be able to afford the products and images you love the most, without feeling guilty because that money has already been “spent”. You could have a 150 image download waiting for you + some amazing products. Who wants the stress of having to pay for that at the time of your image debut and ordering session. Sure we have post session payment plans but note that no images or products are released until full payment is made, that's including post session payment plans. Afterpay, Payright and Paypal Credit that I offer however will allow you to get your products upfront as they pay us immediately which allows us to release your goodies.

No financial stress, what could be better than that! Also, it's INTEREST FREE! I take away the anxiety of having to save! You know you want an amazing, empowering and beautiful experience, so the Pearl Davies Pre-Session Payment Plan helps make that happen!

Lastly, you will be able to have the session of your dreams without having to narrow down your images to fit into your budget the day of your image debut.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR A PRE-SESSION PAYMENT PLAN?

Well that's easy - E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E! I offer the Pearl Davies Pre-Session Payment Plan to everyone. If you have a specific date you needed your products for then you're needing to have your session and give me at most 8 weeks to do your edits and orders (depending on your collection). We both produce stunning products here in house as well as having amazing vendors both in Australia and abroad. For albums, these can take upto 8 weeks for our amazing vendors to produce as many of them are beautifully hand made so we want them to take their time. This option is absolutely available to anyone who wishes to utilize it, as long as they understand those conditions.

WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL MY PRE-SESSION PAYMENT PLAN..?

You can cancel at any time but we do encourage you to do your session, you deserve this so go get it girl!

ARE PAYMENTS REFUNDABLE?
Wham-bam sorry ma'am. I forecast for all of our sessions, our administration time, our legal obligations, insurances, rent, our cost of doing business and more. My business and studio overheads will still be there if you cancel or do a no-show to your session (to date this is yet to happen, please come to your session) and just like your time, our time is precious too. We also do this to encourage clients to follow through and not let nerves get the best of them before their sessions. The whole point of this is to push yourself and to get you out of your own way and in giving yourself the gift of beautiful imagery right?

If you need to reschedule your session you'll always be able to use it as credit for any session or product order. Yasss girlfriend, yasssss! Let's do this!
