Terms & Conditions

Property conditions

The property should be photo-ready prior to the photographer's arrival. A best practice for our clients is to arrive 30 minutes before our team. It is highly recommended that this is not the first time the client has been at the property. We can make minor adjustments but not significant changes. Please note that if you need to move things from one room to another to make it photo-ready, you might be charged for a more expensive photo package or an hourly amount. Shooting a property this way usually takes twice as much time and the client will be charged accordingly.

Scheduling

All appointments should be scheduled after the house is ready for the shoot. Whether you are waiting for contractors to finish a job, getting new appliances, finishing painting etc., please schedule us after all work is finished.

Cancellations/Rescheduling

In case you need to cancel your appointment please give us at least 24 hours notice. Cancellations or rescheduled appointments (other than those due to unforeseen weather conditions) within less than 24 hours may be subject to a 50% cancellation fee.

Weather policy

In the event of very cloudy or rainy day, you may ask to reschedule due to weather conditions. We highly recommend rescheduling for a nice day as the photos will reflect the weather conditions. Please keep in mind the house can be photographed in any weather (except for the drone shots) and it is your responsibility to keep an eye on the weather and reschedule if needed, even though the photographers will be monitoring the weather conditions as well and can give recommendations.

Payments

It's highly recommended to proceed with the payment upon booking to reserve the scheduled appointment slot. Payments may be made securely online. There is a 3% transaction fee for online payments. We also accept many major cash app payments such as: Zelle, Venmo, Cashapp, where transaction fees are not charged.

Refunds

All payments will be refunded in full as long as the appointment is cancelled more than 24 hours prior to the shoot. If you are not satisfied with your photos a re-shoot can be done for additional trip charge.

Travel fee

Our service area is a 25 mile radius around Boca Raton which basically means from Fort Lauderdale to West Palm Beach. Travel fee may be charged for locations outside the service area, bur rarely is. We try to build our shedule by having multiple photoshoots in the area. That way the travel fees are either split or removed completely.
