Devin Shae Photography Terms & Conditions

Real estate Terms & Conditions

Property Condition and Photo-Readiness
Appointments are typically booked “back-to-back,” and preparation prior to my arrival will ensure you get the most photographs taken during your appointment time. It is your responsibility to ensure the property is in photo ready condition. I’ll make minor adjustments to improve the shot, but I cannot move furniture or make significant changes, clean the home, etc.

Please ensure that there are no hazards to my safety and that pets are confined out of view. Each image will be edited, but I cannot retouch images to disguise known defects and/or physical structures such as wall/floor blemishes, driveway/drywall cracks, power lines, etc.

Please understand that your photos will reflect the weather conditions at the time of the shoot. If weather conditions are too severe for sensitive camera equipment (heavy rain, high winds, etc), I may, at my sole discretion, reschedule your shoot for the next available appointment time.
