You will want to know about our Real Estate Photography Pricing for the variety of photo package customizations we offer, so you can get exactly what you- and the property– needs. If you do not see exactly what you want, let us know. We are always happy to accommodate what you need from your photographer. We are here to work for you!
But what is the difference in quality between our deluxe packages and most other photographers standard packages? If your home is being shot in less than an hour, your photographer is using a quick and dirty method called “HDR” or high dynamic range photography. No lights, shot super-wide from the corners and move on; these photographers need to grind out 4, 5 or more shoots in a day, so there is very little to no personalization. Our deluxe photography includes an initial survey of your property, and then each room is properly lit to show off its features and light. We use proper photographic gear to make the most of each composition… we change lenses- and even cameras!- during a shoot because this is not the time for a one-size-fits-all approach; this is your home. We care about the quality of thefinal images just as much as you care about your home.
Here is a real life sample of our work vs. a real, delivered HDR image by someone else. This is a case of a Realtor calling us to re-shoot and fix their mistake of hiring a less-than-qualified photographer. (This happens more than you would believe, too!) Yes, its the color…. but it is also the proper use of lenses and perspective…. and giving the client a proper view of a space and the flow of a room.
Obviously, if you only need a basic-level photography package, then we may not be the best choice for you. But if you need higher-levels of quality, or want all the extras including video tours and a marketing package- all for one low price- then our Premium Level Photography package is where you need to be.
If you do not know what “HDR” or “hand processed” means in terms of quality, here are some head-to-head comparisons. We shot each room in both manners, and developed each as best as the images allowed. Slide to the right for Standard HDR Processing and to the left to see examples of the Premium-level Processing.
So what are you seeing? Colors are not quite as pure or clean as in the HDR images. Windows are not overblown, but you cant really see the views, either. Contrasts are just not as sharp, and the images do not pop as much. This may be fine for some homes; for others, you will want the perfect colors, the crisp contrast, the white ceilings and the attention to detail you get when each image is hand processed. Regardless of which level you choose, you still get my 30-plus experience making award winning images, and my dynamic framing of your home.
All Real Estate Photography Pricing is current as of Sept 2021, but is subject to change without notice. Our real estate photography services are based on a rate of $125.00 per hour. A basic photo shoot from start to finish, which includes photographing the home and processing your images averages 2.5 hours, exclusive of travel time.

Please note that our packages reflect a price well below what we would charge on our hourly rate.
