Here are a few guidelines to help you prepare a home for photography:

Interior

• Turn on all interior lights
• De-clutter or organize mantles, shelves and tabletops
• Remove or minimize personal photos and memorabilia
• Clear off countertops in kitchen and bathroom areas
• Remove photos, notes and papers from the refrigerator
• Turn off ceiling fans and televisions
• Make all beds and tidy bathrooms
• Remove piles of newspaper and magazines
• Tuck trash cans out of view
• Contain pets in the garage or out of sight

Exterior

• Remove all vehicles from driveways and from in front of the house
• Remove all garden tools including hoses and sprinklers
• Mow and rake yard
• Move garbage cans out of sight
• Sweep driveways, sidewalks and patios

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.  However, many large homes and commercial or retail buildings can take longer. The time required for your photo shoot can be discussed at the time you book it.
