Process Overview
We’re glad you want to shoot at the Taylors Mill! Here’s a quick overview of our process:
Become a Cleared Photographer. Complete the cleared photographer form below so you can put in requests.
Complete the Photo/Video Usage Request form found at the bottom of this page. Before you complete the form, make sure you have read and understood the supporting materials on this page about pricing and things you need to know. This form must be completed for every shoot.
We may follow up with any questions about your shoot. The more information you provide upfront, the faster we can decide, and the less back and forth will be required.
We will approve, approve with changes, or deny your request and notify you of that decision. We may deny a photoshoot request for any reason, but typically we are trying to limit the number of shoots that are going on at the same time so that everyone has a positive experience. You can avoid this by checking the calendar of scheduled shoots below before you submit your request.
Pricing Structure (All prices per client)
Package
At this time, we are only accepting exterior photography requests.
Exterior Only Photography Package: $20/client for up to 3 hours of exterior photography.
Hourly Rates
You may add additional hours after you have selected a base package. All videography work is completed at an hourly rate.
Exterior Photography: $15/hour
Videography: $50/hour
Sessions or Mini Sessions
If you want to reserve a block of time and shoot multiple clients back-to-back, please submit a request and note that it is a Session in the title of the shoot. Block out the time you want to offer to your clients. You can approximate the number of clients you are aiming to shoot in that block of time.
After you know the specific number of clients you are going to shoot, please pay us the appropriate amount base on the per-client rate of the package you selected (those rates are outlined above). Please contact us by replying to your permit request approval email and let us know the final times you need the space so we may release the areas for times when you are not shooting.
_________________
Payments + the Liability Waiver (see below) are due at the beginning of the session time in cash or check written to Taylors Mill Development in the dropbox outside of the Taylors Mill Office. You must complete the Liability Waiver prior to starting your shoot.
I am taking photos for free, so do I still need to pay?
Exterior photo fees apply to photographers, videographers, and other individuals who are regularly compensated for their work and work for clients or brands using the Taylors Mill as a location.
Any monies and/or goods exchanged for photography and videography services is considered compensation, including brand ambassador and other endorsement deals. For more information about endorsements, see the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines.
Photos of the building itself are not subject to any fee structure unless prints of the images are being sold. Contact us for more information if you would like to sell photos of the Mill that you have taken.
The Fine Print (But seriously, please read)
All photography and videography at the Taylors Mill is at your own risk. The photographer and their clients assume all responsibility for injury and damages that may occur on the Taylors Mill property, as outlined in the required Liability Waiver.
All packages are per client and valid for one day only. If you want to shoot five clients using the Exterior Only Package in a single day, the price will be $100 ($20 x 5 clients).
All exterior photography and videography should be done in a family-friendly way.
Please do not block traffic on Mill Street while taking exterior photos.
If you need to cancel or reschedule a scheduled shoot, please reply to your approval email.
Why do we charge for photography?
Taylors Mill is a lovely place for sure; many people enjoy taking photos here! The work of revitalizing the Taylors Mill is expensive.
