Airbnb and short-term rental photography
Short-term rental photography shot for the platforms it lives on, where the first thumbnail decides whether anyone sees the second.
An Airbnb listing is not a real estate listing, and photographing it the same way is a missed opportunity. A buyer is assessing a property. A guest is imagining a stay. One wants to know the condition of the roof; the other wants to know what the coffee corner looks like in the morning and whether the patio is somewhere they would actually sit.
That changes what we shoot. Short-term rental work leans into the details that signal comfort — made beds, a set table, the reading chair by the window, the outdoor space arranged as though someone is about to use it. It also means covering every space a guest will ask about, because an unanswered question becomes a booking that goes elsewhere.
We shoot for hosts across the Greater Houston Area, from single rooms to whole-home rentals, and deliver files sized for Airbnb, VRBO and your own social channels.

Who it’s for
Pricing
Photography starts at $102 for up to 10 photos, with additional images at $6 each. Most whole-home rentals need more coverage than that — the Core Listing package at $325 includes up to 25 edited photos, 3 aerial photos and a 2D floor plan. Virtual staging is available for vacant rooms at $55 per image for the first three.

FAQ
Real estate photography is built to sell a property; short-term rental photography is built to sell a stay. We shoot more detail frames, more of the amenity spaces, and we style for comfort rather than neutrality.
It depends on the size of the property and how many spaces guests will use. A single room may need 10–15; a whole-home rental with outdoor space usually needs more.
Yes, and it makes a significant difference. Beds made, surfaces clear, towels fresh, outdoor furniture set. We photograph the property as we find it — we do not move furniture or clean.
We would rather not. Photographs of a half-finished space are hard to use and usually need reshooting. If the furniture is close but not complete, call us and we will talk it through.
Yes. Social vertical video starts at $195 and performs well on the platforms most hosts use for direct marketing.
Virtual staging is available at $55 per image for the first three and $45 for each additional image. It is ready two business days after photo editing.
