Additional Terms For residential and commercial services
In addition to the terms listing under All Bookings at the top of this page, the terms below will also apply for residential and commercial photography services.
Residential and Commercial Portfolio Usage Rights: Our advertised Residential and Commercial packages afford our client permanent usage rights without expiration. Spaces & Faces Photography grants permanent usage rights only to the client listed on the booking agreement and invoice. This permanent usage license provides our client with the right to reproduce, publicly display, unlimited print, and distribute the images for portfolio or marketing purposes directly related to their business. All images are copyrighted and ownership rights remain the sole and exclusive intellectual property of Spaces & Faces Photography. As owners, Spaces & Faces is allowed to use images for stock photos and sell usage rights to parties other the original client without written permission or notification. Images cannot be altered, transferred, shared, given away, or sold to other individuals. We provide extensive editing under our portfolio packages and under no circumstance are portfolio images to be used for listing photography, unless otherwise agreed to in writing. Please note Spaces & Faces is not an ABOR Verified vendor and we have removed all real estate photography packages effective 2/6/18. We still offer residential service but there is a different booking process and delivery schedule.
Session Deposit/Fees: The client agrees to pay the photographer a nonrefundable session deposit of $100 at the time of booking to secure their appointment date and time. The client understands by entering an agreement, the photographer is foregoing other photographic jobs and the session deposit is nonrefundable. This session fee will be applied to the final invoice and full payment of the session is due by the start of the session. The photographer will not start the session until the balance of the payment is received. If payment is not received by the start of the session, the session will be cancelled and the session deposit forfeited. Please be sure to review all pricing, appointment time, shoot location details, and terms before paying the session deposit. If during image selection, you wish to purchase extra images all payments are due prior to the photographer editing the additional images. All invoices will be charged 8% sales tax, as required by Driftwood (Hays County).
Rescheduling/Canceling/Refund Policy/Access/Package Changes: All payments must be received by the start of the session or the shoot will be cancelled and the session deposit forfeited. However, if a client needs to reschedule for any reason including weather the session deposit can be transferred to a different date/time as long as a 24-hour notice is provided to the photographer via email (up to two times). If rescheduling more than twice, the deposit is forfeited and a new deposit is required. When rescheduling a session or placing a session on hold, the session must be completed within 60 days of the original appointment or the booking is cancelled and the deposit forfeited. If the client cancels; does not show up for the shoot; reschedules more than twice; loses the session time due to tardiness; provided the wrong address; we are not able to get in for any reason; we were not provided gate or call box instructions; or the property is not ready, the session will be cancelled and only the session deposit is forfeited (if a session deposit was not required then a $100 fee will be charged). For shoots on location, any changes to the appointment within an hour of the shoot, will also be charged any travel charges listed on the booking agreement. In the unlikely event of illness, severe weather, equipment malfunction, or other circumstances beyond her control, the photographer reserves the right to reschedule or cancel. In this case, your funds will be refunded. All requests to change package and/or add-ons require a minimum 24-hour notice via email, so the photographer can adjust the session time as needed. Re-shoots, refunds, reschedule, package changes are determined at the discretion of the photographer.
Arrival Time: Photography sessions are often scheduled back to back and the photographer is on a limited time frame. Each appointment includes a designated amount of time and assumes the client will be on time and prepared for the shoot. We strongly recommend arriving early to the shoot to ensure it is ready to photograph. The photographer will not wait more than 15 minutes and arriving late to your appointment will result in lost of session time. Your session will be cancelled if you arrive over 15 minutes after our scheduled start time and the trip fee will be charged. If you fail to show for your scheduled appointment or your session is lost due to tardiness the reschedule and cancellation fees will apply in addition to any applicable travel add-ons and sales tax.
Weather Policy: Spaces & Faces Photography will shoot rain or shine, so it is up to the client to decide if they want to reschedule due to weather. In the event it is raining during the entire shoot we will only capture the interior of the property. We do offer an exterior only custom reshoot package (5 images for $100) if this occurs and you would like us to go back out for exterior shots. This exterior reshoot package is limited to a 15-minutes daytime session and does not include any applicable travel add-ons. We recommend the client setting up a 48-hour reminder to allow them enough time to check the forecast and reschedule, if needed. As a reminder, you may reschedule up to two times as long a 24-hour notice is provided via email. If rescheduling less than 24-hours prior to appointment time then the session deposit will be forfeited or if a deposit wasn't required a $100 fee will be charged plus tax. We reserve the right to cancel appointments due to severe weather conditions that may put the photographer at risk. If the session is cancelled by the photographer, all fees will be refunded.
Photography Style and Editing: If you have not already, please review samples of my work on the Gallery page to make sure that our style of photography and editing is a good fit for you. All residential and commercial packages include HDR processing, overall edits to make images look more realistic, blending various exposures to lift shadows and decrease highlights, and sky replacements on exterior images at the photographers discretion. Additional requests such as grass replacement, sign/item removal, etc. are not part of the photography packages offered. When you book with the photographer, you are giving her full reign over session styling and artistic editing of photographs. Unless the client selection option is added to the booking, the photographer will select the images for the final package. If the client wants to make sure something is or isn't photographed, they must include the request on the booking form. Once the photographer begins the session, the services may not be cancelled or refunded. The photographer will not make additional edits once the final images are delivered.
Alteration, Sharing, and Social Media: All images are copyrighted and ownership rights remain the sole and exclusive intellectual property of Spaces & Faces Photography. The client listed on the booking agreement does not own these images, but are granted usage rights. The client may not alter, transfer, give away, or sell the images. No images should be shared by the client with third party individuals for their own portfolio use (i.e. architects, builders, designers, stagers, contractors, vendors, etc.). In the event a third party would like to use the images, please have them first contact Space & Faces Photography directly to purchase usage rights. Use of images for commercial use without written permission from Spaces & Faces would be copyright infringement. For social media sharing, only the client has the right to post the images. Individuals without usage rights may share the client's posts, but cannot create their own post that would result in the images being automatically added to their albums. Images may be shared by the client with the homeowner for non-commercial use, but the homeowner cannot turn around and use the images to list the property with a different agent or for a different person. For example, the homeowner cannot share the images with the new owner who then turns around and uses the images to lease out the property. The photographer only has a responsibility to deliver the images to their client.
Pets/Children: All pets must be contained or removed from the property during the shoot. It is also up to the homeowner to ensure all children and present parties are out of the camera’s view. If a pet or child is captured in an image they will not be edited out. The photographer also reserves the right to terminate the shoot if they do not feel comfortable with an unconfined pet. If this occurs, it will result in a loss of your booking deposit plus applicable travel add-ons listed on the booking agreement..
Staff/Customers for Commercial Services: Certain commercial packages may include staged staff or customers present. When ordered, it is up to our client to acquire the model releases and present them to the photographer before or upon arrival at the shoot. Any individuals without a signed model release will not be photographed. These subjects will not be edited to the level of detail as our headshot services and we cannot guarantee a clear resolution of subjects. Any images containing individuals will not undergo HDR processing during editing.
Construction Shoots: For safety reasons, the photographer typically will only shoot the exterior of properties under construction. In order to shoot the interior of properties under construction all of the following criteria must be met: 1) construction is finished for the most part and rooms are free of debris 2) electricity is connected and lighting is installed and working 3) there is some sort of walkway (side walk, plywood, etc.) to access the home and lock box (if applicable) 4) contractors will not be present during the scheduled shoot time. The photographer will leave the shoot and the trip/travel charges will apply if upon arrival it is determined any one of these criteria is not met.
Duplex and Same Lot Properties: Each residence must have it's own photography package. However, for duplexes and shoots on the same lot sharing the same address a $25 discount will be applied for the second shoot if booked during the same appointment time. Effective 2/5/18 we are no longer offering a duplex add-on. Travel and size add-ons are still applicable with all options.
Amenities and Landmarks: This add-on covers the additional time to photograph the subdivision, complex amenities, entry signage, and local landmarks requested by our client. The add-on covers an additional 15 minutes to photograph these areas, not additional images. Additional charges may apply if these areas are located far apart, not easily accessible from parking, or there are several of them that cannot be photographed within 15 minutes. Timeframe will be estimate at booking and invoice will reflex actual time. Due to the photographer's schedule, these locations may be photographed the day before the scheduled shoot. It is the client's responsibility to provide the photographer with the list of locations and addresses 48 hours prior to the shoot.
Communication: It is up to our client to coordinate with the homeowner regarding: scheduling coordination; reviewing shoot tips; confirming the property is in photograph ready condition prior to the 24-hour reschedule period; ensuring access is provided to the photographer, and invoice payments are made upon receipt regardless of payment arrangements between client and homeowner. Please keep in mind our services include photography only. All cleaning and staging must be done prior to our arrival. For liability reasons, the photographer is not permitted to move furniture, clean, or turn on devices (i.e. fireplaces, remove pool covers, etc.). For photography purposes, the photographer may decide to move small rugs, trash cans, and small items and will make all efforts to move them back to their original location.
Delivery Time: Unless noted during the booking agreement, all images will be delivered to the client within five business days. Clients may indicate on the booking form their preference to select the final images themself. This allows the client to decide which images are used for the final package, but will add $40 and additional editing time to all orders. If selecting the images yourself, we will send you an online gallery of options to select from within three business days of the shoot. Once all images are selected we will proceed with the order and the online gallery will be removed. The client acknowledges selecting more than the agreed upon images will result in additional fees of $15 per image. Specific delivery time will depend on our editing workload once the selections are received, but will typically be within five business days from date of selection. If the images are not selected by the client within five business days, the photographer will select the images to use and proceed with the order.
Digital Delivery and Archive: Spaces & Faces Photography utilizes internet electronic delivery for all images. The final images for all real estate, residential, and commercial shoots are delivered via Google Drive. By booking with the photographer you acknowledge internet access is required to receive and download your images. Once the image(s) are ready, the client will receive an email with access instructions. Client images will be available for download for 30 days due to the large file size of full resolution images.
