I shoot M-F, 8a - 2p. I then edit and ensure your images are visually as perfect as possible, delivering by 9a the next morning. Same-day delivery is possible, just notate on the schedule request form!

Because I edit mostly myself, I have full control over image editing. I shoot with a flash, while allowing as much natural light in as possible. Depending on the home, you may see a standard real estate look with wide angles and lights on, or a more editorial vibe with tight vignette shots / lights off.

I prefer to shoot by myself for efficiency and efficacy reasons. Even if they don't mean to be, sellers can be in the way, get in shots, and end up reflecting in surfaces that cost me editing time. To produce the best images possible, I have a very specific shot list that I need to fulfill - there's a chance I'll forget something if I'm continuously asked questions or asked to reshoot areas, and I can't have someone turning lights off behind me when I'm still shooting an area :) If sellers must be present, I'll do what I can to make the process as stress-free as possible, though!

The easy answer is yes. I totally understand wanting to make sure the house is ready for photos but that should be done before the appt time. There is rarely a situation that I cannot handle on my own, especially turning on lights or opening blinds. Also - it's helpful when I have flexibility in appointment time. Because there really isn't much of a reason for a realtor to be there at the same time as I'm shooting, it could present issues if I have to wait for someone to come to the appt time just so they can walk around with me. One note- if sellers won't leave and the realtor senses a potential safety issue, I'd love your help with that situation. Feel free to come!

Sellers should treat this like a showing. They should plan on leaving with their dogs / cats, or have them safely kenneled in an area I will not be accessing. I should not be met at the door with a barking dog, and cats can take a long time to corral when scared. It's really stressful for everyone, including pets, if they are not put away a few minutes prior to my arrival.

For a standard shoot, I schedule 30 minutes; adding drone or packages with larger image delivery usually adds an extra 30 min. Commercial shoots or editorial shoots can take 30 min - an hour.

These two categories determine how I shoot, what I deliver, and different price points with end user usage. Real estate is quicker to shoot and I deliver lower res images used for the MLS, therefore, it's a cheaper service. When I shoot commercially, my whole mindset is different. I have multiple lenses, multiple flash, and I shoot in a very different style- methodically and slower. Editing is also slower - these images will be looked at very closely so I want to make sure every detail is paid attention. The end result is a higher end product because these images are used for a much longer time period, on a grander scale, to a larger audience.

Most of the time your images will be delivered either same day or by the following morning- it just depends on how many shoots I have in a given day. If you need guaranteed same-day service, you can purchase that on the schedule request form.

A standard home usually produces 30 - 35 images. I usually shoot all four angles of main living and kitchen spaces, 2 angles of subsidiary living spaces, and one of each bathroom / laundry. Primary bedroom gets two shots to show window and ensuite bath, and subsidiary bedrooms gets one shot from the doorway. Unless directed otherwise, I skip storage and garage areas. Remember - there is no 'switching' of images on standard real estate shoots unless asked beforehand!
