PHOTOGRAPHY POLICY

RECREATIONAL AND PRIVATE (NON-COMMERCIAL) PHOTOGRAPHY*

Recreational and private photography on Casa Feliz’s grounds may be conducted without an appointment ONLY during the following hours:

·       Monday and Wednesday – before 11 a.m. and after 6 p.m.

·       Friday – before 11 a.m.

The opportunity to take recreational and private photos (i.e., family photos, Christmas card photos, engagement photos, senior photos, etc.) during select hours is a courtesy that we offer the community.  Please help us preserve this privilege for others by strictly adhering to the above hours and following rules:

  • Exterior photos ONLY are allowed when no private events have been scheduled. 

  • In the unlikely event that a private event or home repair is happening during one of the above times, there will be a “PRIVATE EVENT IN PROGRESS” sign outside.  No outside photography is allowed during private events; violators will be politely asked to leave.

  • There is no charge for exterior photos taken during the above times.  However, Casa Feliz is a 501 (c)(3) organization that depends on private contributions to maintain the property.  A contribution of $100 is recommended if your photo shoot involves a professional photographer or lasts 30 minutes or longer. Contributions should be made HERE. Please help us keep Casa Feliz beautiful!

  • Plants, decorations, and containers may NOT be moved or rearranged 

  • Walking on fence walls, climbing trees, or posing in or on water features is PROHIBITED 

  • Hanging props are NOT allowed

*Recreational and private photography is described as photos taken for non-commercial purpose.  This includes photos taken by professional photographers for non-commercial client use (e.g., senior photos, Christmas card photos, family photos, etc).
