Package Specific T&C's

Platinum Branding Package 

2 locations or more locations can be included in your shoot, as long as the total travel time does not exceed 30 minutes. The travel time can be longer, but anything above 30 minutes will be taken out of the shooting time.  This is to allow me to keep to a time schedule and allow a fair amount of time on each shoot for each client.
