How long will it take to photograph my property?

​The amount of time required to properly photograph a home or commercial building can vary greatly.  The biggest factor is the size of the property.  As a general guideline plan on about 1 hour.  But many large homes and commercial or retail buildings can take longer for photography.  The time required for your photo shoot can be discussed at the time you book it.

How much notice do you need to schedule my photo shoot?

​Ideally, for day time photo shoots  4 - 5 days notice should be provided in order to get your preferred date and time.  We can occasionally accommodate last minute requests, but it is best not to rely on that.  Twilight photo shoots are very popular and tend to fill up quicker.  The more notice you can provide the better.

Do I have to meet you at the home to give you access?

​N​o, you can simply provide your CBS number and I can access the home using our Supra e-Key.  If the home has a contractor's lock box installed you may also provide that code for access as well. Of course, you are also always welcome to meet me at the home and hang out during the photo shoot. 

How can I help prepare my client's (or my) home for a real estate photo shoot?

The neater and cleaner your home or business is, the better it will photograph.  Always start with a good cleaning.  But to help homeowners and realtors prepare for the real estate photography, We have prepared a check list of things you can do to really make the home photo ready.  Read the Home Prep Guide online or download a PDF copy here.

Do you retain the copyright to your images or are those transferred to me when I buy prints or digital images?​

Yes, we retain the copyrights as is standard practice in the photography industry.  You purchase a single use, non-transferable, non-exclusive image license.  For real estate agents that image license is good for the duration of your listing and expires once the listing is sold, canceled or reassigned to another agent.  For all others the license does not expire. This is a non-transferable license, meaning you, as the licensee, may not sell, give or loan the photos to any other party. You do have wide leverage to use them for your marketing and promotional needs however. This license is also non-exclusive, meaning the copyright holder may sell multiple licenses for the same images.  

What if the weather is bad on the day of my shoot?

If the weather is bad on the day of your scheduled shoot (i.e. rain, heavy clouds and the like) you will be given the opportunity to reschedule for the next available open shoot date.  If you choose to proceed with the shoot as scheduled, regardless of the weather, please understand that the listed pricing does not include fixing photos for cloudy skies, rain, etc. If we recommend the cancellation of a photoshoot due to inclement weather and you still want the interiors photographed and the exteriors at a later time, there will be a $25 revisit charge.

Do you accept credit cards?

​Yes, we can accept payment by check, cash, EFT (electronic funds transfer right from your bank account), Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover or CashApp.
