We approach each shoot with a singular goal in mind: to make every property look as good as possible in photos.
HDR Photography
Many of our clients find the look of HDR photography to be unique, which allows them to stand out from others.
HDR photography (High Dynamic Range) is a powerful and useful technique, which consist in processing photos slightly different than usual in order to capture greater detail from the bright and dark areas in your photo.
Our approach to HDR photos is to merge up to nine photos taken at different exposure levels and blend them together to create an outstanding final picture.
HDR helps to maximize the dynamic range when photographing a high contrast scene.
Our service includes processing with HDR all our interior, aerial and some exterior pictures.
Daylight Photography
Perfect skies and sunshine
We offer a fast, professional and impressive photography of your real estate listings. Nothing is more effective than great real estate photography. Most buyers start their home search online and you need high-quality, professional photos to get their attention.
Our photography will help you sell your listings faster and with fewer showings.

As you can see, professional photo editing is a very important part in making a home look it’s very best; especially when lighting conditions are poor. You will also notice some images may look great on small mobile devices but look very unprofessional on a large screen monitor or print. Using the proper capture and editing processes can help give you that clean professional look no matter how the images are viewed. So, to answer the question, “when is the best time to photograph a home?” I say… let a pro figure it out.

PREPARING YOUR HOME FOR PICTURE DAY!
TIPS FOR ALL AREAS IN THE HOME
- Thoroughly clean whole house (vacuum carpet, mop hard floors, clean countertops
- Turn all overhead lights and lamps ON
- Replace burned out light bulbs
- Recommended to use bulbs of the same temperature (ALL incandescent or ALL compact fluorescent, all LEDs)
- Turn all ceiling fans OFF

- Remove small floor rugs to reveal actual flooring
- Place all shoes/jackets in closets
- Remove clutter from counters, tabletops, shelves etc.
- Remove child safety fences. Remember emotion is what sells a home. You want the buyer to not only imagine themselves swimming and relaxing in the pool, but also enjoying the view from anywhere on the property
- Remove pool sweeps from pool
- Do not leave pool equipment/chemicals (I.e. nets, chlorine containers etc) in view. It is not only unsightly in the pictures, but is also reminds buyers of the work and expense involved in maintaining a pool
- Clean windows, appliances, mirrors and all reflective surfaces. Be sure there is minimal or no streaking; streaks will show up in pictures
- Remove items that can be seen under beds
- Be sure bed sheets and comforters are neatly tucked or hanging freely on the sides of beds and free of wrinkles
- Remove vehicles from driveways
- Pressure wash exterior areas where needed.
- Remove floor mats in bathrooms and kitchens (If the color of a floor mat is in stark contrast to the flooring, it draws the viewer’s eye to the mat instead of the features in the room. They also hide the natural beauty of certain types of flooring materials
