When will I receive my photos?
We will email you a link that includes both the high-resolution photos for your brochures and marketing material, as well as the correct size for MLS, email, and the web.
Vacation Rental and Commercial clients will receive photos 2-3 business days upon receipt of selection. You will receive a media download link via email.
For Realtor clients, photos will be ready the next business day after your appointment. As a reminder, we are closed on the weekend; therefore, photos taken on Friday will be ready on Monday.
What if the weather is bad?
We can reschedule the shoot to the next available date at no charge. We always recommend rescheduling if the main selling point of the property or unit is the views.
Photography:
If you prefer to keep the appointment, we can photograph the interiors of the home; we will then reschedule the exteriors, at no charge, for when we are in the area. We will only charge $6 for any additional photos taken, which is the same price as if they were taken at the original photo shoot. If you need the exteriors taken on a certain date and time, there is a return shot fee of $50 + tax that includes 1 image.Video:
If it is raining or overcast, we recommend rescheduling video appointments since the way it looks outside will be reflected in the video. Unfortunately, the sky cannot be replaced in the editing process the same way it can be in photos. If you prefer to keep the appointment, there will be a return fee of $95 + tax to reshoot the exteriors.
