MLS-Images business model is different from the rest of the industry.
We shoot to document the home, not to achieve a specific number of photographs for delivery. Our prices are time-based, not image based. This means the more prepared your home is for photography the more time we have to do what we do best: take magazine quality photographs of your property.
We like to focus on the entire home as one organic structure and love capturing the relationship and flow between each room to help define and visualize the layout.
The fixtures, finishes, rooms, natural light, colors and mood are important details. If there is a feature of the home that is an integral to your marketing, tell us. Writing up an awesome walk-in pantry, let us know and we’ll shoot it. Dog wash in the laundry? It tickles us to highlight the unique features every home offers.
We feel our photography should present message synergy with your marketing. Because the same two photographers have been shooting for over 15 years, we know the nuts and bolts of getting the job done efficiently. We enjoy working with our clients to identify their special image for branding and particular unique vision for marketing a specific home. We prefer to take as much time we’ve allotted to capturing meaningful photographs, so preparation is key to a successful Real Estate Photography shoot.
We shoot the full exterior including gardens and any features, like a pool or extra garage of the home. On the interior we provide at least two photos of every primary room and 4 of the kitchens. Secondary spaces such as the laundry, pantry, EnSuite, jack-n- jill, secondary baths, half baths, closets, interior garage, attics, and ancillary spaces are not routinely shot, but ask us and we will be happy to capture it.
On our smaller homes, under 2000 ft2 we like to deliver at least 30 well composed informative photographs for your MLS marketing, but we frequently deliver up to 40. You can expect us to be on location about an hour and we deliver our entire edited work product. On larger homes, it takes a bit longer to document the home, and you can expect about 42 images, and frequently significantly more.
We offer a builder pack where we shoot extra images of important features, fixtures and finishes. If there is a secondary building on site, and an office or apartment, these are extra to document.
When the interior isn't ready or you’re coordinating a listing over a seasonal change an exterior only shot is an excellent solution to have your listing look it's best over the winter. We'll be on the property for about 30 minutes. And you’ll get a little discount on our return to shoot the interior.
Photography by the hour is tailored to your specific needs and is not designed for real estate photography shoots. If your needing targeted areas (or feel the need to direct the shoot) of a home, or business or a product photographed for a website or printed media, this is a cost-effective solution for quality photography. We provide unhindered usage rights for any application. Builders, remodelers, interior designers, Air B&Bs, landscapers, auto dealerships, and magazines have used our services.
