PREPARING FOR YOUR SHOOT

 
 

PREPARING FOR THE SHOOT

UPON THE ARRIVAL OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER, THE HOME SHOULD BE READY FOR THE PHOTOSHOOT.

-SHOOTING PROTOCOLS-

  • It is preferred that the people, and any animals, living in the home, should not be in the home during the photoshoot.

  • If anyone in the home is showing any signs of illness it is required that the photographer be notified prior to the photoshoot, so that decisions can be made as to how to proceed.

CARS IN THE DRIVEWAY. 

Please remove any vehicles that may be in the driveway. They can cause a distraction when potential buyers are viewing the photos.

THE YARD SHOULD BE NEATLY MOWED AND THE SHRUBBERY TRIMMED. 

If trash cans are in view, please move them to the garage or store out of sight, along with any hoses and children’s toys.

THE HOME SHOULD BE NEAT AND CLEAN. 

Please have all clutter removed, put extra “stuff” away. The beds should be made, and furniture should be dusted. These will be high-quality images and things that you might not consider will be seen. Mirrors and windows should be clean. There are potentially hundreds of people that will view the listing online.

PERSONAL EFFECTS. 

If there are rooms that have excessive decorations/furnishings, please remove as much excess as possible. Excess decorations and pictures don’t often photograph well. It might be time to start packing some stuff up in advance of the future move.

LIGHTS AND FANS.

All ceiling fans should be turned off and clean, all lights should be on, bulbs in a multi-light fixture should be the color of the light and be in working order.

MAGAZINES, LITERATURE, ETC. 

If you have places in the home that have an excess of reading material or other similar items, please put them away.

DEFERRED MAINTENANCE.

On occasion a home will have a few things that need to repaired or “touched up”, now is a good time to consider taking care of those things. Replace any lights/bulbs that aren’t working, all the lights in the home will be turned on for the shoot. Look at the home as if you were buying it with “fresh eyes”. If you see it, the camera and potential buyers could see it also.

 
 

Show off that beautiful home.
