We generally shoot Monday-Friday 9am to 4pm, except for twilight shoots. The time for twilights will depend on the time of year (when the sun sets).
We offer a fast 24-hour turnaround for photos and 24-48 hours for floor plans, video, and 3D Imaging.
360 Media Hub is our client portal, including everything you need to do business with us: Ordering, Photo Delivery, Billing, Marketing Tools & much more! With the help of automation, we send out appointment reminders, links to download your completed photos and visuals, and invoices once the project is completed.
No, you do not need to be there but please complete a walk-through of the house before we arrive. Our photographers can move obvious items out of a shot but they are not professional stagers.
It’s always easier to move an item out of the shot rather than to edit it out later. We do not recommend Photoshopping large areas, it’s best to have the house ready when your photographer arrives.
Please let us know about any special requests when you schedule your photo shoot. We are happy to shoot them if we know about it ahead of time!
