Because of our schedule constraints, we are only able to wait for a maximum of 15 minutes if the house is not ready for pictures. The photo shoot should take approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour. We will be photographing both the interior and exterior of your home.

​

Please note that we will be photographing all rooms, walk in closets, etc. with the exception of the garage (unless it has special features that need to be highlighted.)
 

If you have special features that you would like photographed that may not be obvious, please make sure to let us know so that we can be sure to include them in the shoot. Please let us know If your home contains valuable works of art. We can edit photos to make these items unrecognizable or make sure they are not in the photographs.
