  • Should the Buyer Own the Copyright?

    Federal law states that the photographer owns the original copyrights to all of their photos as soon as they take them, especially for commercial purposes. Most buyers would only buy the copyrights to images when they want to resell the photo exclusively, if the image includes their or if they have personal reasons why they don’t proprietary personal brand symbols or trademarks, or if they have personal reasons why they don’t want the images licensed to anyone else. If you do mot specify that you want to buy the copyrights to your images, then a photographer is free to license them to other companies for marketing purposes ad feature them in their portfolio.

    A copyright purchase always comes at an additional charge to the price of hiring the photographer for the original photo shoot. Keep in mind that a photographer must grant copyright privileges in writing because copyrights don’t automatically transfer to the buyer with their purchase.

  • Photographer Travel Fee

    You’ll need to pay an additional photographer travel fee of around 50 to 100 percent of their regular hourly rate if they’re coming from outside of my local metropolitan area. (Puyallup, Wa) Having said that…All photography sessions are within 20 miles from Puyallup Washington. Additional traved charges will apply for 25+ miles. $50 per additional 30 minutes of travel time.

  • Photography Sitting Feet

    A photography sitting fee, also known as a booking fee or session fee, is an upfront cost to cover the photographer’s expenses for setting up a photoshoot. It can cover the costs of booking the venue, private consultation services, and the time spent preparing their equipment. With some freelance photographers, the sitting fee may also include a partial payment for the minimum amount of photos the photographer will produce for their client.

    Sitting fees are essential to photographers so that they don’t lose money or the opportunity to do another photoshoot when a client suddenly cancels or doesn’t show up for their appointment.
