Images may not be altered, cropped, filtered, edited, screenshotted, or modified in any way. This includes edits made on social media or by third parties.

LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK & SAFETY

Clients enter the Studio property at their own risk.

Photography sessions may involve standing, movement, posing, furniture, props, studio equipment, uneven surfaces, and other conditions that carry inherent risks. By attending the session, the Client voluntarily assumes all such risks.

Chrissy René Studios is not responsible for personal injury, accidents, or loss or damage to personal belongings that occur on the premises, except in cases of gross negligence as defined by Texas law.
