Consent Form

Ethereal Birth Photography - Model Release Terms

By voluntarily participating in a photography session with Jordan Tomkinson D.B.A. Ethereal Birth, and digitally signing this consent form, I am consenting to have my photos taken by Ethereal Birth Photography, and agree with the Payment Policy and Deposit & Refund Policy.
I agree that by digitally signing this consent form, I fully understand the terms of this agreement, any questions or concerns have been addressed verbally or in writing, and I am choosing to proceed with booking this photography session under these terms.
I have a license to use these images for personal use only, unless otherwise negotiated and agreed upon in writing.
I consent to allow photos to be used for her personal, promotional, and commercial purposes on any business websites, portfolios, and/or social media accounts that she operates, for personal and/or professional purposes, without financial compensation for the use of my likeness or the likenesses of other guests invited to attend the session with me, and I agree that Jordan retains full creative control over the production of her images.
I agree that she shall retain full and exclusive ownership and copyright of the images she produces and final authority over stylistic editing choices.
I agree that harassment or disrespect of any kind to any party involved in our photography session may result in the immediate termination of this agreement, termination of the session, and the loss of access to any images I have appeared in, without a refund of any fees I was charged in exchange for her services, or any other compensation, financial or otherwise.
I agree that, should any litigation between parties become necessary to resolve a dispute, it shall be litigated through arbitration in the state of Utah, and Jordan Tomkinson D.B.A. Ethereal Birth is not liable to compensate me for litigation costs.

DEPOSIT & REFUND POLICY

80% of your payment is a non-refundable deposit to book my services, and the remaining 20% is only refundable until you’re 38 weeks pregnant when I’m on call for you. To put it simply: You can’t refund the time and energy I’ve invested in you.

I put in many hours of work to establish a deep connection with you to become a trusted member of your birth team, extensively discuss your birth plan and wishes, educate you through your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, provide on-call support at 38 weeks, and adjust my lifestyle to accommodate you.

To keep my schedule manageable and prevent myself from accruing a significant backlog to edit, I accept up to 3 photography and doula clients per month. This means the sustainability of my business is heavily reliant on clients following through as I turn away other client opportunities - if you’re hesitant about committing to this arrangement, please communicate sooner rather than later.

I stay within an hour of home, and miss out on family reunions out of town, concerts with my husband to see our favorite bands, date nights, and making memories with my husband and kids. I plan out of state vacations around my on-call schedule, and I bring my camera bag with me on longer drives, which puts my gear at greater risk for damage and theft, and necessitates a specialty inland marine insurance policy to cover my camera gear.

If you are able to pay in full before your birth, I highly recommend it. The last thing you need in the fog of postpartum hormones and newborn sleep habits is someone sending you reminder texts to pay for their services. If you need to set up a payment plan, my website offers payments through Klarna, and PayPal offers Pay-it-in-4, and I’m very open minded to the barter and trade system.

Thank you for understanding.

My business username for Venmo and Paypal is @etherealbirth - however, these take out a 5% processing fee.

If you’d prefer to pay through my private account to avoid a 5% fee, our username is @Chris-and-Jordan.

Please include your name & the services you’re booking in the transaction description. Thank you!
