What you get
Bright, even rooms
Shot on a tripod with several exposures blended, so windows aren't blown out and corners aren't dark.
Straight lines
Walls and doorways are corrected so rooms don't lean.
True color
White balance set by hand, so paint and floors look the way they do in person.
Every room that sells
The front of the house, each main room and highlights like the yard, deck or view.
Ready for listings
Sized for the MLS and Zillow, plus full-size files for print.
Fast delivery
Edited photos in your private online gallery within 48 hours of the shoot.
Before and after
Straight from the camera, then edited. Drag the handle or use the arrow keys to compare.
How a shoot works
Book
Send the address, the size and a few times that work.
Get it ready
Go through the checklist below so every room is ready for photos.
The shoot
Usually 60 to 90 minutes on site for a typical home.
Delivery
Edited photos arrive in your client gallery within 48 hours, and downloads turn on once the invoice is paid.
Before the shoot
Ten minutes of prep makes a bigger difference than any editing.
Inside
- Turn on every light and replace dead bulbs.
- Open the blinds and curtains.
- Clear the kitchen counters, fridge door and bathroom sinks.
- Put away personal photos, mail and medicine.
- Make the beds and hang fresh towels.
- Close the toilet lids.
- Tuck away pet bowls, beds and litter boxes.
Outside
- Move cars out of the driveway and away from the front of the house.
- Put trash and recycling bins out of sight.
- Mow the lawn and clear the walkways.
- Put away hoses, toys and tools.

Booking terms
The short version, so there are no surprises. Booking a shoot means you agree to these.
Paying
You get an invoice after the shoot. Your photos show up in your gallery within 48 hours to look over, and downloads turn on as soon as the invoice is paid.
Rescheduling
Free with at least 24 hours' notice. With less notice, or if nobody can let me in, it's $50.
Rain
If it rains on the shoot day, you get a free reschedule, even on short notice.
Who owns the photos
Once the invoice is paid, you own the copyright to the edited photos. Use them for the listing, ads, social media and print.
Permission
Whoever books confirms that the owner, and any tenants, are OK with photos. Point out anything you don't want photographed and it stays out of the frame.
Portfolio
Your photos only go in the Main & Front portfolio if you say yes when you book.
Honest editing
Editing fixes light, color and straight lines, and can take out small things like a hose or a trash bin. It never hides damage, changes the view or adds anything that isn't there.
No watermarks
Delivered photos have no watermark or logo, so they're ready for the MLS.
Questions
Do I need to be there?
No. A lockbox code or a quick hello at the door is enough. Owners and tenants can stay home, as long as they're OK with photos and can step out of the shot.
How far ahead should I book?
A few days ahead is usually plenty. Send a few times that work, and you'll get a reply within one business day to confirm one.
Can you shoot a home that's lived in?
Yes. The checklist above gets most homes ready in about ten minutes, and anything you don't want photographed stays out of the frame.
What if it's cloudy?
Clouds are fine. They give soft, even light inside. Only rain moves a shoot, and that reschedule is free.
Do you photograph rentals and Airbnb listings?
Yes, at the same prices. Hosts and property managers book the same way, with the owner's OK.
How do I get the photos?
In your private client gallery within 48 hours of the shoot. You can look them over and leave notes right away, and downloads turn on once the invoice is paid.
