Can I shoot the interior and exterior photos on different days?
Shooting on different days means scheduling separate shoots. With that said, we are happy to go back as many times as you wish!
I only need one photo, is that possible?
We do have a 4 photo minimum to send a photographer on site. If you only need one photo, we recommend adding façade or amenity photos, or we can provide 4 options (angles) of the same room/ photo you wish to capture.
What should I do to be “Photo-Ready”?
Please be sure the property is clean and staged as you or the seller would wish for the property to be viewed/represented. While we can move small items on-site to enhance the image, we do not move large furniture or clean up prior to shooting. Keep in mind, some properties are rentals and tenants may not want their things to be touched or moved. With that said, there is the option to digitally remove items in post-production for an additional fee.
If you are having your headshot taken, please dress as you wish to be represented. The only recommendation we make is to stay away from stripes.
