If I work for a landscaping company, what type of contract do I need to draw up for past/future customers to visually document and display their property on the internet?
We just started a Facebook page and I have been commissioned to upload pictures of the work we have done, as well as the work we will do in the future.How do we establish ownership of the digital property in the contract so that we may display it on our business Facebook page so that the public may view it?

The contract can be very simple: it can simply state that the customer gives you permission to display pictures of the work you have done on their property on your website and otherwise use it for advertising purposes. For a contract to be binding, however, there must be "consideration," or something that each party receives; you are receiving the right to use the pictures, so the customer must get something, too. One possibility is to give them some small discount or some additional service as compensation for allowing you to use the pictures. The contract should state what they are getting.
