Actually, it's better if you're not present! This allows our photographer to work efficiently without distractions. Just ensure they have access to the property and any special instructions.
Check your HOA rules early in the planning process. Most HOAs allow professional real estate photography, but some require advance notice or have specific hours. We can help you navigate any requirements.
We monitor weather closely and will reschedule if conditions aren't ideal. There's no charge for weather-related rescheduling.
Standard delivery is 24-48 hours after the shoot. We also offer rush delivery for an additional fee. All photos are professionally edited and optimized for both web and print use.
