How is my media delivered?
We process & deliver everything online. You’ll receive an email with everything you need!. (Make sure to check your spam if this is your first time with us)
Can I see my media before I pay?
Yes. Your online gallery will provide previews prior to payment.
Does paying for these services make them mine?
No, you’re paying for a license - kind of like Netflix, or a software key code.
Does someone need to be present during the shoot?
No. Shoots typically go quicker if there are not too many variables involved. Plus we have Supra.
What if the weather is bad (raining, snowing, overcast, sleeting, etc.)?
We try to stick to the schedule as much as possible. Typically we will shoot the interior of the home and get what we can from the outside. If we are unable to shoot any of the exterior, we will send a photographer out when the weather is better. If it is the decision of the agent/homeowner to reschedule upon arrival without shooting anything, an additional trip fee will be assessed.
How much is a shoot?
Please see our PRICING page for all our pricing options.
Which package should I choose?
If you’re super busy and need assistance with your marketing - choose a marketing package. If the home is smaller and you only need a few photos, choose the one that fits your needs best. If you're marketing a luxury property, the higher photo count typically show better details. We have a little something for everyone.
How do I prepare for a photoshoot?
Declutter & clean, turn all lights on, all fans off and clear all mess. Refer to our Home Prep Video and Checklist.
