Spouse, Partner, Guest and Caregiver Attendance Policy
All participants must register and pay the full workshop fee. We maintain strict group size limits to ensure quality instruction and comply with regulations.
In special circumstances, we may accommodate essential caregivers or assistants for participants with disabilities or serious health conditions. These arrangements must be discussed with us and approved by us before your registration and are subject to space availability and any applicable permits or regulations. In areas with strict group size limits, caregivers or assistants must pay the full fee and fit within the stated workshop size.
We cannot accommodate additional guests, including spouses or partners, beyond the set workshop group size. However, if there is an open space in the workshop, these individuals are welcome to register and pay the full fee to attend. We appreciate your understanding as we strive to create the best possible experience for all participants.
Alcohol, Tobacco/Vaping, Firearms, and Recreational Drugs
Due to permits, federal regulations, and state park regulations, alcohol, recreational drugs, and firearms are prohibited. Illegal substances are also prohibited.
If you are going to use tobacco or vaping products or other types of inhalers, step far enough away from the group so that no one can smell it. Dispose of your cigarette butts properly. Before offering to drive in a carpool state that you are a smoker or vaper, so people can sort themselves accordingly.
Waivers, Model Releases, and Health Information Forms
All attendees must sign waivers and model releases. They must also supply emergency contacts. For attendees with any relevant medical conditions that may impact the photo workshop or that you may experience during a photo workshop, you may request a health information form.
We will email you waivers and model releases before the workshop. You must print this, fill it out, and bring it with you to the first meetup of the workshop. You will fill out an emergency contact sheet at the workshop. Turn in completed and printed health information forms at the workshop.
