Questions

Frequently asked questions

Booking, the shoot and the photographs afterward. Anything else, call or text and I’ll get back to you the same day.

01

Booking and pricing

Before the shoot
  • How do I book a shoot?

    Pick a day and a session on the booking page: morning, afternoon or twilight. Add anything you need to the shoot, then pay by card or Apple Pay, or choose to pay at closing. A confirmation and a calendar invite arrive right away.

  • How much does a shoot cost?

    It depends on the size of the home and what you add to the shoot. The booking page shows the exact price for your home before you book, so there are no surprises. Homes over 10,000 square feet are quoted; call or text and I’ll put one together.

  • How do I pay?

    By card or Apple Pay when you book, or choose to pay at closing.

  • Which areas do you cover?

    South Florida, from Port St. Lucie down to the Keys. For the right project, I’ll go farther; beyond 100 miles round trip, travel is $1 per mile.

  • What if I need to reschedule or cancel?

    With 48 hours’ notice, there is no fee. Inside 48 hours, or if the home isn’t accessible within 30 minutes of the start, there is a $100 fee. If it’s called off on site after I’ve confirmed I’m on my way, the fee is 25% of the shoot. A paid shoot that’s cancelled becomes a credit, good for a year.

  • Do you work with builders, architects and developers?

    Yes. Builders, architects, designers and developers are a large part of my work, among them Panther National, Sciame and Willoughby. Start a project and tell me what you have in mind.

02

The shoot

On the day
  • When is the best time to photograph a home?

    It depends on the house: which way it faces, the views, the pool. Every shoot is planned around the light, and twilight sessions are timed to that evening’s sunset.

  • How long does a shoot take?

    Most homes take one to four hours, depending on their size.

  • How should the home be prepared?

    Shoot-ready before I arrive: lights on, counters clear, cars out of the driveway. The full list is in Before your shoot, ready to send to the homeowner. If the home isn’t ready when I arrive, a return visit is $150.

  • What if the weather turns?

    I plan every shoot around the forecast and the light. If rain or heavy cloud would let the house down, we move it together.

  • Do you offer Matterport 3D tours?

    Yes. Add a Matterport tour to any shoot when you book, and I’ll scan the home on the same visit. Buyers can walk through it room by room from anywhere, and it works with Zillow Showcase. It’s priced by the home’s square footage.

03

The photographs

After the shoot
  • How soon will I have the photos?

    Usually within two to five business days of the shoot. Larger, more complex homes can take up to seven. Need them sooner? Add 24-hour delivery when you book.

  • How are the photos delivered?

    Through a secure online gallery, where you can download the finished files.

  • Are revisions included?

    Yes. The first round of reasonable revisions is included; anything beyond that is billed hourly.

  • How can the photos be used?

    Every shoot includes a license to market and sell that property, online and in print. Agents, builders, architects and designers can all book a shoot directly. Existing images can also be licensed for portfolios, websites and publications, priced per image.

  • Who owns the copyright?

    I keep the copyright, and every shoot includes the license above. Raw files aren’t part of the delivery. The details are in the terms of service.
