CONTACT
Please fill out the contact form. I will follow up with a phone consultation to discuss details, pricing, and available dates. To quote your project, I will need the following property details, the address, size, and type of house. Any pictures of the property you can share with me, or an old listing link, will be extremely helpful. Please remember to include your full name, phone number, and billing address for invoicing.
BOOKING
Scheduling Your Photo Shoot: After both parties have acknowledged and agreed upon the date and time of the appointment, the appointment will be considered “booked”. Upon the completion of your photo shoot at the agreed-upon date and time See below for the cancellation policy. Images are provided as it. Payment for photography services may be paid by check or credit card. Payment is required before the images are delivered. After the images have been processed and are ready for delivery, you will receive a notice letting you know they are complete. The link in your email will bring you to the payment page as shown below. There is no preview gallery.
As shown below, after your payment is processed, your photos will become available for download. You may download full resolution, MLS (set at 3000 pixels on the long side), or you may input a custom size.
Additional Information
Photo Processing, Payments, & Delivery
One of the most important considerations is how your photos will be used. Whether it be MLS, VRBO, or Airbnb, I recommend contacting or looking up your photo hosting site for their maximum recommended size. If images are uploaded to the MLS at the recommended size, no further processing is done on the server side, so the image quality should not change. If they are too large, they get compressed and sharpened in strange ways and look terrible. My standard delivered size is 3000 pixels (on the long end). Before I process your photos, they are resized for the intended output. Your pictures will usually be completed within 24 - 48 hours of the photoshoot. If you require a custom size, please be sure to let me know prior to the photoshoot. Additional fees will apply for rush orders.
Payment for real estate imaging services may be paid by check or credit card. Payment is required before your images are delivered. The day of your photoshoot, you will receive an invoice. Once your photos are processed and ready for delivery, you will receive a notice letting you know they are complete. After payment is received, you will be sent a link to download your pictures. Please allow for up to 10 hours to receive the link.
If you wish to pay by check, please bring it to the photoshoot so you can have your pictures as soon as they are processed.
Video is typically available 72 hours after the shoot.
Final images are backed up and available to be re-delivered until 90-days from the date of delivery. Photos may no longer be available beyond that time frame. It is recommended that the Client makes a local backup of the images to use for the duration of the listing. Once the Client’s contract with the homeowner has ended (the property is sold or picked up by another agent), the license expires so the Client should delete their backup at that time.
Property Condition
Please ensure that the listing is clean and ready for photography at the time of service. I do not clean, dust, change lightbulbs, or move of furniture, but may adjust window coverings, move small items or turn on/off lights as necessary. Please be sure that there are no hazards to my safety, and that pets are confined and out of view. If the house is not ready when I arrive, it will have to be photographed as is, or rescheduled ($75.00 + mileage will be charged).
It's best if you plan to allow me as much non-occupied space to work with as possible. It also helps me not to get distracted. Even if you're shuffling from room to room to "stay out of the way," it's very distracting. You will get the most out of the process, if I do not know you’re there.
If you have someone with mobility issues, please let me when you book the shoot so we can make a plan.
Type of Photography Best Suited for your Project
Real estate photography is meant to entice potential buyers to purchase a home. It’s the first step that leads buyers to view the home in person. Real estate photographers want to show a home for what it is. Give the end viewers a good idea of the layout and the features of a home as it is. They’re not too concerned about moving a particular chair or the setting of the dining table. They need to photograph the home as it is, as fast as possible.
The typical Airbnb and Inn pictures fall somewhere in-between real estate and architecture. I will be happy to help you choose which type of pictures will produce the results you are looking for.
If you’re an architect or interior designer, the answer is a little more complicated. Where will the photos be used? What do you really want to highlight when you market your project?
Interior/Architectural Photographers are vastly more concerned with the quality of each photo vs the number of photos. These pictures are often used for advertising. We must pay attention to the minor details. Each stool under the bar should be perfectly spaced out. The faucet should be angled perfectly. The towels in the bathroom should be perfectly leveled.
Every detail counts in interior/architectural photography to make the perfect photos. The average day-long shoot might only produce 10-12 photos.
