By ordering services from Nick Carson Photography, the client agrees to the following Service Agreement for video and photo needs. We have these guidelines in place to ensure a smooth and efficient service is completed by us as Nick Carson Photography and received by you as the client.
APPOINTMENT REQUESTS:
To ensure the best results of the appointment, please be sure the property is ready prior to the scheduled appointment.
By confirming your appointment, you agree to the readiness expectations and policy: you agree that the home will be ready to photograph and film on the scheduled date and time you have selected. This includes working with the builder and seller to ensure the home is photo and/or video ready.
Any home that is not photo and/or video ready on the scheduled date and time will result in $30 rescheduling fee.
For liability purposes, Nick Carson Photography does not handle any of the prep for the readiness of the property, including but not limited to, cleaning or moving of furniture.

By confirming your appointment, you agree to Nick Carson Photography's cancellation/reschedule policy: cancellation/reschedule of appointment is allowed up to 24 hours before appointment.
Any cancellation of an appointment within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment will result in a 50% fee.
Though we do not charge for a rescheduling fee due to weather related circumstances, it is at the client’s discretion on if they would prefer to reschedule the set appointment due to weather related circumstances. NOTE: we cannot provide aerial/drone services while it is raining/there is moisture in the air or during hazardous wind conditions.
If the client would like to reschedule due to weather related conditions, we ask the client reschedule at the time of the cancellation prior to the appointment.
Turnaround time for photos is next-day delivery.
