We offer professional photography, HD video tours, aerial drone photography and video, Matterport 3D virtual tours, 2D and 3D floor plans, virtual staging, digital twilight, blue sky and green grass enhancements, and short-form property reels. All services are available across DFW, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.
No. We offer two styles: agent on-camera (a quick 10-second intro where you welcome viewers to the listing) and property-only (a clean, cinematic walkthrough with no face time required). Most agents try both and see which gets more engagement with their audience.
You submit your order with the real estate photography images you'd like staged and any style preferences (modern, traditional, minimalist, farmhouse β whatever fits the home). We confirm the details and pricing, then begin work once you approve. This ensures no surprises, no unexpected charges, and gives you control over the project scope before we put hours into it.
Unfortunately, we cannot hold multiple time slots for one property as we rely on them to maintain an efficient calendar for our clients and photographers. However, we automatically hold one appointment for ~4 hours so that you can coordinate with your team/clients. For the best service, please provide your availability and all relevant details when booking and we will try to accommodate you.
Start with photography β itβs the foundation of every listing. From there, add services based on the property type, price point, and marketing goals. Aerial works well for homes with large lots or great locations. Video and 3D tours help buyers explore remotely. Your service page for each property type shows recommended combinations.
Most agents order 2β4 key rooms: living room, primary bedroom, and one or two flex spaces like an office, dining room, or bonus room. Focus on rooms where buyers struggle to see function or scale β that weird empty room that could be an office or a nursery, or the cavernous living room that looks like an airplane hangar without furniture. You don't need to stage every room β just the ones that need help telling the story.
Yes! We will be happy to accommodate you Monday morning (or any other morning).
Each reel is between 10 and 20 seconds. This is the sweet spot for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Facebook Stories β long enough to show the property, short enough to hold attention in the feed.
Yes. Most clients bundle photography with aerial, video, floor plans, or 3D tours in a single visit. It saves time, keeps the media consistent, and means fewer disruptions at the property.
If there's an error on our end β furniture scale is wrong, lighting doesn't match, or the staging doesn't reflect what you requested β we'll fix it at no charge. If you change your mind about the style or want a different layout after approval, additional revisions are available for a fee. That's why we ask you to review and approve the scope before we start β it saves you time and money.
Yes! If you like a photographer's style, we encourage you to add them to your requested list of photographers for this and future shoots. We will try to book you with them but if you need a specific date, we might suggest other photographers, if your requested photographers are unavailable.
Most services are delivered within 24 hours after the end of the shoot, including photography, video, aerial, and floor plans. Virtual staging is delivered within 24β48 hours after you select your photos and design style.
24β48 hours after you select your photos and design style. If you need it faster for a hot listing or a time-sensitive situation, reach out to our team β we can sometimes accommodate rush requests depending on our current workload.
Yes. If you'd like an earlier appointment, please let us know and we will add you to the waitlist. If a spot opens up due to reschedules/ cancellations, we will call/email you.
We serve 100+ cities across four major Texas metros: Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. If youβre in or near one of those markets, we can get a photographer to your property.
Every photography package includes professionally edited, high-resolution images delivered to your dashboard within 24 hours. You can add aerial, video, floor plans, 3D tours, or virtual staging to the same appointment.
Yes β when you book property photography and virtual staging with us, every order includes both the staged image and the original unstaged photo. Use staged versions in your MLS listing to help buyers envision the space, and include unstaged versions for transparency and compliance. Both versions are clearly labeled in file names so you can easily manage them. If you're providing your own photography from another source, you'll receive the staged version only.
Photographers are available voluntarily on weekends with an added weekend rate charge. Images will be delivered by noon on the following Monday.

Yes. Most clients bundle photography with aerial, video, floor plans, or 3D tours in a single visit. It saves time, keeps the media consistent, and means fewer disruptions at the property.
Free rescheduling is available up to 4 hours before your scheduled appointment. Cancellations within 4 hours may incur a late cancellation fee because it becomes difficult to reassign that time slot to another client. If you need to reschedule, contact us as early as possible and we will work with you to find an alternative date.

Same-day service may be available for an additional rush fee, subject to photographer availability and scheduling.
Light drizzle and overcast skies are usually workable for ground photography, and Texas weather can flip in an hour. Make the call early. If you contact us at least 4 hours before your scheduled shoot, we'll reschedule at no charge. Closer to shoot time, the crew may already be dispatched and a trip fee can apply. If we're already on site and conditions turn β active heavy rain, storms, or sustained wind β we'll reschedule at no fee. We rely on you for ground truth at the property; please don't ask us to wait it out once the crew has arrived.
On a listing clock? If you need interiors done now and weather is blocking exteriors, we can shoot the interiors at the scheduled appointment and return for exteriors once you reschedule. A return trip carries an Inclement Weather Return (IWR) fee β ask us at booking or at the door.
Aerial/drone shoots have stricter rules β drones cannot fly in any rain, including light drizzle. See the drone weather FAQ for details.
We offer professional photography, HD video tours, aerial drone photography and video, Matterport 3D virtual tours, 2D and 3D floor plans, virtual staging, digital twilight, blue sky and green grass enhancements, and short-form property reels.

Photo approval happens on-site. Your photographer walks each frame with you before leaving the property β flag any concerns then and we'll re-take while we're still there.
After delivery, minor edits and Photoshop refinements are included at no charge β just reply to your delivery email with what you'd like adjusted.
Full reshoots requiring our team to return to the property carry a modest service fee. Most clients never need this because of the on-site approval step.
Pricing depends on square footage, services selected (photography, video, drone, 3D tours, floor plans, virtual staging), and your metro market. Most residential listings fall between $159 and $549 per shoot; add-ons like aerial, twilight, virtual staging, and Matterport 3D are priced per service.
All current rates are listed on each service's page and inside the booking flow. See your total in 60 seconds at /book β pick services, enter property details, and the total appears before confirming. Only unusual scope (recurring builder shoots, multi-property contracts, very large commercial campuses) needs a custom conversation.

Yes β and the data is clear. According to Redfin (2024), homes with professional photos sell 32% faster and spend 34 fewer days on market compared to listings with amateur photos (89 vs. 123 days). NAR reports that 87% of buyers say photos are the most useful feature on listing websites. Professional images also receive 61% more online views, which translates directly to more showings and faster offers.

Your Dashboard includes both versions of every tour. The branded Virtual Tour includes your agent contact information, headshot, website link, and a Lead Collection form that lets prospects reach you by phone, email, or Facebook Messenger.
