Professional Photography FAQ's
How is it that your images are so bright, crisp and colorful?
Our photographers are very talented and use the best camera equipment, lenses and lighting available. Our photographers are also expertly trained in Adobe Photoshop – to get you the best possible images. With that said, we also provide our clients with a host of detailed information to assist you in your own pursuit of quality photographs. See Photo Tips for more information.
I have a small home – should I bother with Professional Photography?
You bet! There's something magical about the way a camera can make a small home look even better in pictures. Personally, I think its' the flash. But hey, it's only $99; so why not? Your customer will appreciate it, the neighbors will notice the superior job you did marketing the home, and the buyer will email your virtual tour (with your name on it) to everyone she knows. If I had my 1200 s.f. home on the market, I would hope my agent would market it the same way he would a 3,000 s.f. home.
What's the difference between Twilight and Daytime Photography?
Twilight photography is usually reserved for properties with large windows and oversized rooms, dark interior accents, views, and beautiful exterior lighting. Individually or combined, these are the characteristics of a home that warrant Twilight Photography. The last 90 minutes of sunlight provides preferred lighting conditions in two ways. 1) The often golden rays of the sun reflect nicely on the homes exterior, and 2) as the sun lowers, the light outside and the light inside match up for superior photographs throughout.

How long does the average photo shoot take?
It depends on the size of the home, the features and amenities. The average home of 2500 S.F. will usually take no more than 30 – 40 minutes, while homes 4500 square feet and more can take 45 – 75 minutes.
Do you take pictures for my print advertising needs, too?
Yes. Our photographers capture almost every angle of the home – for the virtual tour, and we also provide you with "Advertising Shots;" with special emphasis on the curb appeal, backyard, living room, family room, kitchen, master bedroom and any view shots. These shots are often different that virtual tour images as they are meant to celebrate a single room at a time, while virtual tour photography often shows one room in relation to another.
How many Pictures do I get?
It depends on the size of the home, the features and amenities. A condominium for instance, can result in 18-25 images; including community pictures of recreational facilities, signage, etc.. A 2500 square foot home will often results in about 30-40 images, while a 5,000+ square foot home could result in 60+images.
Why do you take so many photos?
Because the main thing internet shoppers care about are "The Photos" and you want to give them what they want. A good virtual tour should have between 25-35 photos, and we like to provide pictures of each area of the house from multiple angles; giving viewers a comprehensive tour of the property.
When will my pictures be ready?
Your photos will be delivered to you the next business day.
