🏠 Help Your Listing Shine — Start with Photo Day
The first impression of your home happens online — and high-quality photos can make all the difference. If your agent has scheduled a professional photographer (like us!), here's what to expect on photo day and how to prepare for the best results.
📋 How to Prepare Before We Arrive
1. Declutter Every Room Tidy surfaces, remove personal items, and make the space feel open and inviting. Less is more.
2. Light It Up Open all blinds and curtains to let in natural light. Replace burnt-out bulbs for consistent brightness.
3. Clean Like a Buyer Is Visiting A clean home photographs better — and gives buyers the feeling that it’s well-cared for.
4. Hide Cords and Trash Cans These common items distract from your home’s best features. Tuck them away for a clean look.
📷 What We Photograph
Exterior curb appeal (front/backyard, entryway)
Living spaces, kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms
Bonus areas like offices, patios, or garages
Drone shots or video if your agent has requested them
⏱ How Long It Takes
Photo sessions typically last 1–1.5 hours depending on size and services. We work efficiently and respectfully — and always aim for next-day delivery.
🙌 Final Tip: Less Stress = Better Results
Your home doesn’t need to be perfect — just photo-ready. We use professional techniques (like flambient lighting) to ensure every shot is beautifully balanced.
