Commercial Use License: What it Means for You and your Brand Photos
Whenever you sign a contract with a photographer, it likely will include a section that outlines the ways you are allowed to use the images once you have them.

Family Vacation Photos in Orlando with Dawn Aiello Photography
No one can deny that Orlando is one of the top vacation destinations in the United States, if not the entire world. Families come from all over to visit theme parks, enjoy the Florida beaches and soak up that sunshine.
One thing I've noticed about families vacationing here in Orlando is that often it's one of the only times of year that everyone is together. And what better time to do family photos than when you're already together with all of your favorite people!
