Additional Notes
If you would like family photos blurred, please let me know in advance.
If any large valuables cannot be removed, notify me prior to the shoot so we can edit them out.
We typically do not photograph garages unless requested in advance.
The following checklist outlines the items that should be completed prior to the scheduled photo shoot. Proper preparation ensures the highest quality images and a smooth, efficient session.
If possible, please arrange to have the property vacant during the shoot. This allows us to work efficiently and deliver the best results.
Additional fees may apply if the property is not ready or these guidelines are not followed.
