Amy,
What you may want is a contract with the photographer that specifies
that the project is a 'work for hire.' In such an arrangement, the
organization contracting the imaging, not the photographer, becomes the
'author' for copyright purposes.
This is not a typical arrangement in still photography, and the
photographer may insist on some other arrangement, such as granting
your organization permission to use/reproduce all or some of the images
for some period of time (or in perpetuity) for certain specific
purposes, but reserving (any/all) other uses for him/herself (as
author).
-L.D.
