Preparing Your House for Photographs

📸 Photo Day Property Prep Guide

Make the best first impression with beautifully styled spaces.
Follow these steps to ensure your property shines in every photo.

🌟 Outdoor Highlights

  • Outdoor String Lights: Add warm lighting around decks, porches, and firepits to boost evening ambience.
  • Decks & Porches: Pressure wash if possible. Stain any newly replaced boards after the recommended 30-day cure time.
  • Firepits: Remove burned wood; stack fresh logs neatly inside.
  • Aerial Visibility: Clear clutter from under decks and around the yard—trailers, tools, or bins can disrupt wide-angle and drone shots.

🏡 Access & Practicalities

  • Gate/Door Codes: Share any access codes to streamline arrival.
  • Wi-Fi Password: Provide in case cell signal is weak (for equipment connectivity).
  • On-Site Presence: We prefer no one is present during the shoot to ensure smooth flow and avoid interruptions.

🪟 Windows & Lighting

  • Natural Light: Raise blinds, pull back curtains, and ensure all windows are clean and clear.
  • Lighting: Turn on all interior and exterior lights; LED bulbs offer the best look in photos.

🛋️ Interior Styling

  • Furniture: Align chairs, lamps, and decor neatly—small adjustments make a big difference.
  • Trash Cans: Hide all indoor and outdoor bins.
  • Bathrooms: Place full, neatly wrapped toilet paper rolls.
  • Kitchen: Tuck away paper towels and soaps unless styled in decorative holders.
  • Doors: Use door stops to keep interior doors open.

🔥 Specialty Areas

  • Hot Tubs & Grills: We’ll uncover covers and prep these features. Older grills may remain covered.
  • Water Clarity: Balance hot tub water to avoid foam—clear water photographs beautifully.
  • Custom Instructions: Let us know if you have specific tips for patio lights, locks, or other details.

📷 Photography Preferences

  • Areas to Feature or Skip: Please let us know if you have any zones you’d like highlighted or omitted.
  • Final Walkthrough: Upon arrival, we’ll do a quick walk-through to ensure everything is photo-ready.

🌿 Landscape Polish

  • Fresh Mulch or Pine Straw: A simple refresh makes outdoor areas pop.
  • Seasonal Decor: Add tasteful outdoor decor like pillows, planters, or lanterns if desired.
