Payment can be made online at the time of order via credit card or Paypal, at the property where photoshoot is taking place via check (Made out to HD Showings LLC), or by phone with a credit card during our normal business hours. Sending payment via mail will cause a delay in delivery of media.

  2. Cancellations & penalties: Photoshoots may be cancelled 24 hours prior to the shoot date with no penalty. Photoshoots cancelled the day of photography will incur a $60 rescheduling fee. If we arrive at the property and are unable to gain access, we will attempt to contact you via the information you have given us. If the shoot must be abandoned, you will be charged a $60 fee.

  3. Photo Delivery Policy: Photos will be delivered via email within 48 hours of the actual appointment or when payment is received whichever is later. A link to the images will be provided by email using the email address provided upon order. If you have not received any emails from us concerning the photoshoot please check your spam and then contact us by phone or email to confirm the email address on your account.

  4. Home Preparation Policy: Photographer is not responsible for preparing the home for photography. Cleaning, staging, arranging, and decluttering should be finished before photographer arrives. For a preparation list please check the F.A.Q section of our website. The photo shoot is scheduled based on the time it takes to shoot a home that is photo-ready. If the home is not photo-ready the number or images or the quality of the images will likely suffer. If you cannot arrange to have the home in photo-ready condition before the photographer arrives we do offer a home straightening as an additional option upon order. If the home needs staging we recommend Dwell Interior Staging and Design: (727) 420-7468
