Preparing Your Home For Photography

Turn on all lights throughout the property, including closets. This will help create a bright and inviting atmosphere for the photos.

Remove all wires that are plugged into any socket. This includes lamps, computers, alarm clocks, and any other visible wires. It’s important to hide the wires to maintain a clean and clutter-free appearance in the photos.

Remove all family portraits and pictures throughout the unit and replace them with art. This helps depersonalize the space and allows potential buyers or renters to envision themselves in the property. If there are any family photos that cannot be removed, you may need photo editing to blur them out. Please note that additional editing charges may apply in such cases.

Remove all valuable goods throughout the unit and store them in a safe location. This includes any valuable jewelry, electronics, or personal items. By doing so, you ensure the security of your belongings and create a neutral environment for the photos.

Remove any unnecessary items, such as shoes, toys, or excessive decorations. Broom sweep the floors to remove any dust or dirt, giving them a clean and polished look.

Clean all washrooms, living areas, and bedroom areas. Make sure all surfaces are wiped down, the mirrors are clean, and there are no visible stains or dirt. This will enhance the overall appearance of the property in the photos.

Put the lid down on all toilets. This small detail contributes to a neat and organized look in the washrooms.

Place all furniture in the correct position. Consider arranging the furniture in a way that maximizes space and highlights the key features of each room. In general, having less furniture in the frame creates a more spacious and appealing look.

To clarify, if the property is not ready for the photography session within 15 minutes of the photographer’s arrival, waiting charges of $75 per hour will apply.

• It is important to ensure that the property is prepared and ready for the shoot prior to the scheduled appointment time to avoid incurring any additional charges.
  
  • Remember to review the specific terms and conditions provided by the service provider to understand all the details and policies related to property preparation, waiting charges, rescheduling, and cancellations.
    By following these instructions, you’ll help create an attractive and welcoming environment for the photographer to capture the best possible images of your property. Good luck with the photo session!
