Real Estate Photography Prep List
While we may HOPE that a scheduled appointment will run smoothly and on-time, there’s always the occasional hiccup that creates turbulence in the flow of the appointment. What was scheduled to last 30 minutes, now has run over an hour. An hour now has turned into 2 hours. Unfortunately, for EVERYONE involved, this potentially causes disruption to the timeliness of any scheduled appointments that might be arranged afterwards. Well, what’s the solution to this dilemma? In our case it’s all about PREPARATION. So, to help us stay with the timely flow during our session, I’ve put together this preparation checklist of things you should do PRIOR to your scheduled shoot.Here goes!…
general prep
Cleaning and staging
To honor all of my scheduled agents throughout the remaining day, it is strongly requested that cleaning and staging be done BEFORE the photographer's arrival. It is without question that adjustments will be made throughout the space (light repositioning of flowers, pillows, small pictures, etc.) to help capture a more polished image. However, the rearrangement of larger furniture pieces, and the placement of decorations for staging, guarantees a much more efficient shoot. More time to focus on composition equals stellar images on the MLS.
Secure or remove pets
I love pets BUT we can’t have them around for your photoshoot (unless they tend to freeze when spotted). Dogs must be secured or off the property to ensure the safety of myself and my equipment. MLS rules also prohibit people and pets from being in pictures. Cats should be secured as well, although they usually pose fewer problems than dogs (cats often just hide). While we/re on the subject of our furry masters (you know I'm right), it's also a good idea to hide pet food, pet carriers and water bowls.
Plan not to be seen ("You're in my shot!!!")
Yup. those pesky windows, mirrors and doorways reveal quite a bit, especially in those wide-angle captures that agents drool over. So, I believe in repeating a mantra during a shoot that goes something like this, "Can that camera see me over here?" I have to say it too!!! Mirrored rooms are super tricky (it's like figuring out geometrical angles during a game of pool)
That being said, all occupants should plan on either being off the property or, if they got an A+ in geometry in high school or college, remain in areas where they can't be seen during the photoshoot. Rooms overlap in the photos, people can cause shadows and reflections on certain objects and, of course, MIRRORS (nuff said).
Use the garage for storage
I normally don’t shoot garages, so this is a great place to store items you’d like to hide. This one was short. Hmmm...did I forget anything? You'll tell me. Right?
Outside prep
Hide trashcans
Trashcans can be placed on the side of the property or in the garage.
Turn off sprinklers
Do not water the day of the shoot to prevent puddles on pavement.
Pick up poop
If you have a dog, make sure that all of their droppings are cleared from the yard.
Clear the cars
Make sure no cars are in the driveway. If possible, also move cars from the street in front of the home. We want as clear a view as possible of your property.
Hide hoses
Do this the day before the shoot since hoses can drip water onto the pavement when being moved, leaving puddles in your pictures.
Prep the yard
Do at least 24 hours prior to your photoshoot. Yard should me mowed and clear of any toys, tools, etc.
Prep pool and spa
If you have a pool and/or spa, please have them clean with covers removed. If you are the property owner, and have a spa, provide instructions to the realtor on how to turn it on.
Prep water features
If you are the property owner and have fountains, waterfalls, etc., please clean them and provide instructions to the realtor on how to turn them on.
Remove for-sale sign
The for-sale sign should be removed from the property (if possible) by the realtor if it has already been installed. Visible signs violate MLS photo rules, and they can’t always be edited out. It’s best to schedule sign installation for after the photoshoot.
Clean patio furniture
Dust and remove cobwebs from all outdoor furniture. Do not hose down your furniture the day of your shoot, since this can create puddles.
Inside Prep
Declutter kitchen
A few items on the counters are usually fine, but dishes, sponges, rags, etc. should be put away. It's best to remove all magnets, pictures, etc. from the refrigerator and remove throw rugs from the floor.
Declutter bathrooms
Toothpaste, toothbrushes, razors, and other "personal" items should be hidden. Decorative unused soaps, candles, flowers, etc. are preferred. It’s also good to remove all throw rugs from the floor.
Prep bedrooms
All bedrooms should have their beds made and items put away. Here's a lil something to remember. Since the camera lens is capable of capturing the entire room in one shot, there's a good possibility that the viewer will see EEEEVRYYYYTHIIIING that you've got stashed underneath the bed. Ok, not everything. BUT, it will get a shot of those shoeboxes, that pull-up bar or that bedpan you may have peaking out from underneath. So, when straightening up, think like a wide-angle lens.
Hide trashcans
Trashcans can distract so it’s best to hide all of them in closets or the garage.
Clear entryways
Remove all shoes, umbrellas, and similar items from entryways.
Turn off ceiling fans
Before the photographer arrives, please make sure all ceiling fans are turned off.
Hide portable fans
Ceiling fans are selling items but portable fans can give the wrong impression. It’s best to hide all portable fans in closets or the garage.
Hide cords and remotes
Sometimes electrical cords can’t be hidden, but you will have more appealing pictures if you can hide TV remotes, game consoles, and any noticeable cords.
Open blinds with views
Your indoor photos will show outdoor views if there are views, or just light if a window looks onto a neighbor or other unappealing view.
Turn on lights
Before I arrive, please make sure all interior lights are turned on, UNLESS you have to incredible skylights. We can show off how gorgeous the space can feel without the need of electricity!
By the way, please replace all burned-out bulbs at least 24 hours before the photoshoot. You might be amazed at the difference the 24 hours makes.
Twilight Prep
GO HOLLYWOOD!!!
(Turn on all those dramatic interior and exterior lights)
All lights throughout the property need to be turned on for this shot. It's the key element (other than a mystical feeling sky) that makes the twilight shot so stinkin' powerful on the MLS, Zillow, and any type of architectural publication. Must I say it again? Replace all burned-out bulbs at least 24 hours before the photoshoot. You'll be saying this in your sleep.
Turn on spas and remove covers
If you have a spa, remove the cover, and get it running before the photographer arrives...lights, too! (Don't hop in, yet...we're not done!)
Turn on pool lights
If you have a pool to be captured, turn on the pool lights before the photographer arrives.
(NOT YET!!! You can hop in once it's shot!)
Turn on water features
If you have fountains, waterfalls, or similar water features, well that's a no-brainer. Let's get them running, too!
(OK...NOW you can hop in ;-) )
that's it!!!
Eyes crossed yet? Don't worry. It's all quite simple. Make the space feel as clean, bright and neutral as possible, take care of those burned out bulbs, and hide. Then, you've got it! We're so grateful that you've come to us to take care of all of your real estate media needs. Now, let's sell that home!
