Frequently Asked Questions

Have a Question?

Real estate photography and architectural photography serve different purposes, and choosing the right approach depends on the type of property and how you want it to be perceived.

  • Real estate photography is designed to sell a property quickly. It focuses on capturing the entire space with wide-angle shots so potential buyers can get a clear understanding of the home’s layout. This style is ideal for standard home sales where the goal is to provide a clear, well-lit, and inviting representation of the space.

  • Architectural photography, on the other hand, is about storytelling and artistry. It highlights the design, craftsmanship, and unique details of a home, often using more intentional angles, creative compositions, and natural light to give images a magazine-worthy feel.

So, which one should you choose?

Go with real estate photography only if…
▫ The main goal is to sell the home quickly without extra artistic flair.
▫ The property is not architecturally unique and doesn’t require detail-focused imagery.
▫ A straightforward, professional presentation is all that’s needed.

Choose a mix of both (real estate + architectural) if…
▫ The home has custom or high-end architectural details worth showcasing.
▫ The goal is to elevate the marketing with images that feel more like they belong in a design magazine.
▫ The property is a luxury listing, vacation rental, or custom-built home that needs to stand out.

Many vacation rental owners, luxury real estate agents, and custom home builders opt for a blend of both styles—getting the full-room shots that help people understand the space, while also incorporating artful detail shots that create an emotional connection with potential buyers or renters.

If you’re unsure which approach is best, I’d be happy to guide you based on your specific property! 😊

I guarantee delivery within 24 hours, ensuring you have your listing photos ready to go the very next day.

For those times when you need images even faster, I offer a same-day turnaround option for an additional $75 (available for most jobs). However, same-day delivery depends on a few factors:

➤ Location: If the property is further from my office, I may need additional time to return and edit the images.
➤ Property Size: Larger homes or properties with extensive detail shots may require extra editing time.

If you have a tight deadline, let me know in advance, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your timeline!

I specialize in boutique architectural and real estate photography, which means my focus is solely on delivering high-end, expertly crafted still images that showcase a property’s best features. While I don’t personally provide drone or video services, I work with hand-selected, professional videographers and drone pilots who specialize in their craft—just as I do with photography.

Unlike large, one-stop-shop companies where you may never get the same photographer or videographer twice, I personally vet every contractor I work with, ensuring that their work aligns with my quality standards. Additionally, I edit all still drone images myself so they blend seamlessly with my exterior photography. This means you get a cohesive visual style across all your listing materials rather than a patchwork of different editing styles.

If you need drone or video services, I can broker these for you through my trusted professionals, ensuring you receive the same level of attention to detail and customer service I provide with my photography.

For some projects, a one-stop-shop service can make sense, especially for volume-driven agents who need a quick turnaround and don’t require a highly tailored approach. However, for clients who want consistency, quality, and personal service, working with a specialist is often the better choice.

Many of the big real estate media companies outsource their editing, meaning you’ll never know who is handling your final images. And because they have a large rotation of photographers, videographers, and drone pilots, you often won’t get the same team twice—leading to inconsistent results.

With me, you’re hiring someone who is deeply invested in the quality of your images and in your success. I personally handle all still photography and oversee any additional media services you need, ensuring the final product meets my boutique-level standards.

No, I take care of everything for you! If you need video or drone work, I will coordinate scheduling and logistics, ensuring the entire process is seamless. You don’t have to juggle multiple vendors—I handle it all, so you can focus on your listings. However, if you’d rather speak with them yourself, I can absolutely pass their information along to you.

What’s the difference?

🌅 Twilight Photography (Real Twilight Session)
This involves an on-location photoshoot at sunset, capturing the home in that beautiful, natural golden hour and blue hour lighting. This option is ideal if you want:

  • A true-to-life ambiance with natural, warm glows from interior and exterior lights.
  • A visually striking, high-end marketing look that stands out.
  • A more luxurious, emotionally appealing image that enhances curb appeal.

🖥 Virtual Dusk (Day-to-Dusk Editing)
With this method, I take daytime exterior photos and use advanced editing techniques to transform them into beautiful twilight scenes—no additional photoshoot needed. This option is great because:

  • It’s more affordable than a full twilight shoot.
  • It offers flexibility, as no specific sunset timing is required.
  • It still provides a warm, inviting look that makes listings stand out online.

Both options have their own unique benefits, and the right choice depends on your listing goals. If you’re unsure which would work best for your property, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to help you decide!
