What should I do to prepare for a shoot?
  • Turn on all lights throughout the home
  • Open all blinds and curtains
  • Clear clutter, personal photos, and trash cans
  • Move vehicles out of the driveway

A prepped property means better photos and a faster shoot.

How far in advance should I book?

What forms of payment do you accept?
  • Card
  • ACH
  • Venmo / Zelle (returning clients)

Payment is due at time of delivery unless a retainer agreement is in place. Files are released once payment is received.
