01Why it matters
Buyers scroll past a listing in a second or two. The first photo decides whether they open it, and the next twenty decide whether they book a showing. Accurate light, straight verticals and honest color do more for a listing than any filter.

04Editing
What editing actually changes
Sample media — licensed demonstration


Exposure
Windows and interiors balanced so the room reads the way it feels in person.
Verticals
Door frames and cabinet edges made truly vertical, so rooms don't lean.
Color
Warm and blue casts removed. Paint and cabinet colors stay accurate to the property.
Clean-up
Temporary items like a stray cord or a lens flare can be removed. Permanent features stay.
05Twilight
Real twilight and virtual twilight
Sample media — licensed demonstration


Virtual twilight
A daytime exterior edited to a dusk look. Useful when the schedule or weather rules out an evening shoot. We disclose it as an edited image, and the house, landscaping and surroundings are left as they are.

On-site at dusk with every interior light on. Booked in the twilight window and dependent on weather, so it goes on the calendar like a separate appointment.

10Questions
Frequently asked
How long does a photo shoot take?
Most homes take one to two hours on site, depending on size and how ready the home is. Larger and luxury properties take longer. We confirm timing when we confirm the appointment.
When do I get the photos?
Standard turnaround is next business day. Rush delivery: same day when booked before 10am.
How should the home be prepared?
Clear countertops, open blinds, turn on every light, replace dead bulbs, hide personal photos, cars out of the driveway. We send a prep checklist with your confirmation.
Can you remove things from photos?
Temporary items, yes: a hose, a trash can, a reflection. Permanent features, no. We don't remove power lines, damage, neighboring structures or anything a buyer would see at a showing.
Is virtual twilight allowed on the MLS?
Edited images are generally allowed when they don't misrepresent the property. We label virtual twilight as edited. Check your MLS and brokerage rules for disclosure wording.
Do the photos work for print?
Yes. The high-resolution set is sized for brochures, postcards and yard-sign riders.
