F.A.Q.

Usually between 1 – 2 hours depending on the size of the home and requested items. (ie: aerial stills and video, walk through video, floorplan, or twilight shots.)

It really depends on the orientation of the home. Once provided with a street address, the best time of day can be determined by the angle of the sun on the front of the home. Sometimes it is best early to mid-morning. Other times would be in the afternoon or late evening just before sunset.

This is one of the most important aspects of photographing your home. You would not want to have guests over with a messy house. The same goes for showing prospective buyers your home online. If it is clean and organized in the photos, then it is more inviting for the people who decide to look at it in person.

The day before the shoot. The day of the shoot should be used to walk through and adjust anything you may have missed. …and never try to move things around during the shoot. It undoubtedly causes things to be missed and adds a lot of time to the shoot itself.

Usually within 24hrs. Sooner, if requested. I upload jpeg photos to Dropbox, which can then easily be downloaded to your computer or phone.

Call, email, or text. Once I have the street address, I can determine the best time of day for the shoot and will schedule a date with you.

No, I would prefer to work without anyone else in the home. It makes the job move much faster, without having to keep track of people and worrying if they are going to walk into the shot or catch their reflection somewhere. This adds a lot of time to retouch the photo or even having to revisit the home for a second shot.

25 – 50 depending on the home and its unique features.

A full set of exterior and interior photos, plus any amenities such as a community clubhouse, pool, playground, etc. Other options are available such as aerial photos and videos, twilight photos, walk through videos, and floorplan layouts.

Yes, but on a limited basis. I will do some light staging such as straitening a comforter to remove wrinkles, fluffing or moving a pillow, or adjusting a kitchen chair for better positioning. I will not move heavy objects or clean counters of soaps, food boxes, toiletries, etc. That should be done prior to my arrival so I can focus on photographing your home. I have provided a checklist on my website for the homeowner to follow so everything can be completed the day before the shoot. You can download the checklist from my Services page.

The client can use the photos in all marketing aspects of that home for the duration of the current listing by the listing agent. Use for any other means or persons is prohibited unless agreed upon by that person and myself.

Contact me via phone, text, or email with the address, requested date and services required. I will call back to discuss the best time of day to shoot depending on the orientation of the property. We can then lock down the specific date of the shoot.
