Before and After examples can be found near the bottom of this page.

Local Attractions

$400
(ADD ON TO MAIN PACKAGES)

To further increase your bookings, you absolutely need professional photography of local tourist attractions and parks to feature in your listing. For a small $495 add-on fee to the main packages, we will spend several hours capturing professional quality photos of local attractions and scenery.

 

Twilight Session

$250
(ADD ON TO MAIN PACKAGES)

Dependent on scheduling and weather, we can guarantee a stay for 30 minutes before Sunset until 30 minutes after Sunset to capture the property with a beautiful Sunset, and show off any striking landscape lighting the property may have.

 

Virtual Dusk

$40 per photo

Although not as natural as a true Twilight Session, we can improvise a faux dusk effect on select exterior photos if a Twilight Session cannot happen due to weather, scheduling, or time restraints.

Note: Virtual dusk adds 1 to 2 days onto the delivery time.

 

Virtual Staging

$25 per photo

Listings with staged furniture book faster than empty rentals. While not a complete replacement for real in-person staging, we can help alleviate the hassle.

Note: Virtual staging adds 1 to 2 days onto the delivery time.

 

Floor Plans

$150
(up to 3 floors)

We can create a complete and professional looking floor plan of the home.

All of our Matterport 3D tours include a “floor plan view” in the tours, however this is an actual floor plan with labels.

 

Individual Services

Just need a single photography service?

Interior + Exterior Photography

$350

The most essential service – if you want to sell a home quickly, you need great photos!

Photo count varies based on home size and layout – typically 20-35 photos for smaller homes and 35+ for larger homes.

 

Aerial + Outdoor Photography

$275

The best views of the property are taken higher above the ground, and in recent years home buyers have come to expect aerial views on listings. This service includes aerial photos, ground level photos, or a combination of both.
 

Includes a minimum of 15 aerial photos from all angles and heights. All aerial photography sessions are subject to weather and air traffic control restrictions.

 

Matterport 3D Tour

$150 per 1,000 sqft

($0.15 per sqft)

Example: 2,000 sqft home = $300.00

Blow prospective buyers away with 3D Showcase – an immersive experience that gives buyers a sense of feeling the property before they’ve ever seen it in person. The buyer can tour the inside of the home as if they were really there, see floorplans, a 3D “dollhouse” model, and even take measurements of various features in the property!

We will host the Matterport 3D tour for up to 6 months on our own account, if you need it longer, it can be transferred to your own Matterport account.

As of March 2022, Matterport 3D tours cannot be placed or linked from AirBNB listings, but can be on VRBO and HomeAway.

Other Fees

that may apply:

Matterport 3D Tour Fee

$9.99 / month

Matterport 3D tours have a monthly fee for hosting directly from the Matterport company themselves. The pricing is $9.99 monthly for up to 5 spaces/properties. We will host the Matterport 3D tour for up to 6 months on our own account for you, however after that the tour must be transferred to your own paid account. We recommend creating an account and signing up before the shoot so we can immediately transfer the tour to you, to avoid any later delays or loss of service. Information can be found here:

Travel Fee

$25 / hour (up to 2 hours)
$50 / hour (2+ hours)

I will travel to photograph your rental property anywhere in the state of New York, Pennsylvania, or Vermont. Homes that are more than 45 minutes outside my studio location in the Syracuse area are subject to travel time @ $25 per hour for the first 2 hours, and $50 per hour thereafter. This includes to and from. So for example if your rental home is 2 hours away, you would be charged $25+25+50+50= $150 for travel - both to and from.

Editing Examples

Virtual Dusk

$40 per photo. Typically 1-2 are needed per home.

Virtual Staging

$25 per photo. We recommend virtual staging for the most important rooms. Typically 5-10 are needed per home.

Blue Sky

We understand how cloudy Upstate New York can be, so blue skies are added to ALL outdoor
photos if necessary, at no additional charge to you.

FAQ & Policies

How long does it take to photograph a home?

The length of time depends on how large the home is and the layout of the home. Generally speaking, the following are average times:

  • Indoor Photography: 45 mins per 1,000 sqft.
  • Matterport 3D Tour: 30 mins per 1,000 sqft.
  • Aerial Photography: 30 minutes total.

We also recommend the agent, homeowner, architect, builder, or any workers vacate the premises during the interior portion of the photo session, or move to a floor we are not working on. The session will take much longer as we may need to tell individuals to move out of shots that they might not think they are standing in.

 

How many photos will I receive?

You will typically receive 20 to 35 for smaller homes, and 35+ for larger homes. If you add on Aerial Photography, it will also increase your photo count.

 

How long until I get the photos?

I edit and post-process every photo I take, and the post-processing time varies based on my work load for that week. Typical turn-around time is 24-48 hours. However, sometimes I am able to get the photos back to you quicker.

I recommend scheduling the shoot for at least 5 days prior to when you want to list the home, to also account for re-schedules due to weather.

 

What kind of editing do you do to the photos?

All of our photography services include addition of blue-sky if needed on exterior photos, minor dust/dirt removal from floors and walls on interior photos if possible (case-by-case basis), and removal of the photographer / equipment from aerial photos (sometimes unavoidable). Additionally, with the LUX photography service, we also edit:

  • Removal of color casts from white ceilings where brightly colored walls reflect their color onto the ceiling.
  • Additional brightening & darkening of rooms in individual spots to give them a more true-to-life appearance.
  • Selective removal of outside objects seen through the window views, such as people, vehicles driving by, neighbor’s trash cans, etc.
  • Removal of reflectance in some windows where it may be unavoidable to provide a better window view.
  • Removal of reflectance from television screens and monitors to give them a less distracting appearance.
  • Removal of color casts on walls and furniture produced by strongly colored interior lighting.
  • Making the lawn greener in spots where it may have temporary dead grass, removing yard waste such as fallen tree branches/sticks, removing some leaves, etc.
  • Darkening of the driveway to remove the natural reflectance from sunlight, and removal of a blue color cast which is a byproduct of aerial photography, to give it a more true-to-life appearance.
  • And more! Due to the extensive editing we do on LUX photos, the turn-around time for delivery is slower than our standard HDR service. We want to take our time, and make sure your photos look their best!
Does the weather matter? What about sunlight, overcast sky, or time of day?

When you contact me and give me the address of the home, I will research and decide on the best date and time to photograph that home that also fits into my schedule.

Generally speaking, cloudiness does not matter. I am able to place a very realistic blue sky in any outdoor photos. Indoor photos tend to come out better in the mid-day or early afternoon, but I can work with any time for the indoor photos and still get great results.

An early morning shoot will work best if the home faces East, and an afternoon shoot will work better if the home faces West. The exception to this rule is if your home is on a lake, and you would like Sunset photos. If you want the best lighting your home has to offer from every angle, consider purchasing an All-Day Session upgrade.

Do you travel, and are there any fees?

I will travel to photograph your home anywhere in the state of New York, Pennsylvania, or Vermont. Homes that are more than 45 minutes outside my studio location in the Syracuse area are subject to travel time @ $25 per hour for the first 2 hours, and $50 per hour thereafter. This includes to and from. So for example if your rental home is 2 hours away, you would be charged $25+25+50+50= $150 for travel – to and from.

March 2022 pricing guide. Prices are subject to change. Homes outside of the CNY / Syracuse area may be subject to additional travel time fees.
