We understand that things happen and you may have to reschedule. Make sure to book out the day of your photoshoot with your agency/ manager. Please give a 72 hour notification if something comes up. A 72 hour rescheduling is only allowed one time. Trying to reschedule more than once will result in a holding fee loss. Your holding fee must be used with in 60 days if canceled before 72 hours.
