Real Estate Photoshoot Process
Your Seamless Real Estate Photography Experience in San Diego
After you fill out the form to book an appointment; I will quickly respond via email or by phone to discuss your specific needs for capturing your space.
I carefully plan every detail of your photoshoot to ensure an efficient, seamless, and easy experience on the day of the shoot!
When the day arrives, your space is perfectly prepared for its photographic debut, thanks to my detailed pre-shoot checklists. I will arrive to complete a thorough walkthrough, planning each shot for optimal results. Then, the magic unfolds as I capture your space in breathtaking detail.
After the shoot, I swiftly and carefully edit your images. Then I will share them with you for your viewing within 24 hours of the photo shoot before final payment is made. You’ll have the chance to request any revisions. Once approved, your images are ready for use across all your marketing channels under my straightforward non-exclusive licensing agreement.
I don’t just deliver amazing images; I share our work on occassion. Your property receives a spotlight as I proudly share and showcase it across my social media channels and other platforms.
Real Estate Photography San Diego
F.A.Q
Certainly! I personally edit and Photoshop each image to ensure your real estate property looks its best.
The length of photoshoots is determined by the size of the property. The time breakdown is as follows:
- Properties 0 – 1500 sf ≈ 1 hour
- Properties 1501 – 2500 sf ≈ 1.5 hours
- Properties 2501 – 3500 sf ≈ 1.75 hours
- Properties 3501 – 5000 sf ≈ 2 hours
- Properties 5500 – 7000 sf ≈ 2.5 hours
Please note that these estimated times assume the property is showtime ready upon my arrival, and no issues arise on-site.
Photos are delivered within 24 hours from the end of the photoshoot.
All photo packages are exclusively delivered online through Dropbox or Aryeo. You’ll receive a link to download your images via email and or text.
I highly recommend saving the photos to your local computer or personal cloud storage – Google Drive is a great free resource . Unfortunately, I cannot host the images indefinitely on my account. (I can re-upload upon request for a $50 fee.)
I offer real estate photography,videography, Matterport 3D Tours and more. I encourage you to look at my services page. If you are searching “Real Estate Photography Near Me” than these services are for you.
I serve the greater Southern California area, including counties such as San Diego, La Jolla, Encinitas, Del mar, Escondido, Temecula, Julian, Anza, Chula Vista Bonita, Coronado, Downtown San Diego and the rest of San Diego County. Please remember that locations outside of our 20-mile radius from 92129 may be subject to additional travel charges of $1 per mile.
I recommend scheduling your appointment at least a week in advance, providing enough time for you or your seller to prepare the house for the photoshoot.
If necessary, we can accommodate same-day bookings, subject to our availability.
Absolutely! Please message me for a copy.
This checklist will help ensure that your home/listing is in top-notch condition and ready for the photoshoot.
I can enter the property through a lockbox or hidden key if needed, but I won’t travel offsite to pick up a key for entry due to time constraints.

I offer basic photo packages that are licensed for MLS posting only. For listings on platforms like Airbnb or VRBO, it’s best to purchase a Airbnb photo package from the start to ensure the images meet the desired style and quality, and to avoid any potential misunderstandings.
It’s possible, but please note that I am not a photo storage service. Normally, I retain images online for up to 30 days. After that, it becomes your responsibility to manage image storage. If you still need the images to be re-uploaded, an additional fee of $50 may apply.
