This is a basic list, to give you an idea of what shots I will take for the typical home (2,000 square-foot with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths) . The average number of images is about 25 but depends on the size of the home and special features it has. Please inform me in advance if there are any specific selling points of the house you need me to capture. For smaller homes, many of these Real Estate Photography shots will overlap and nullify each other. Also please note that before getting started, I prefer to store and set up my equipment in the garage to save myself from having to moving my stuff around frequently.
Quick note: I do not photograph the garage unless specifically requested.
