Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our services and process

How far in advance should I book my photography session?

We recommend booking at least 3-5 days in advance to ensure availability. For weekend shoots, we suggest booking 1-2 weeks ahead. During peak real estate seasons (spring/summer), early booking is especially important.

What happens if the weather is bad on my scheduled shoot day?

We monitor weather conditions closely and will contact you 24-48 hours before your shoot if rescheduling is recommended. We can reschedule at no additional cost, and we'll work with you to find the next available slot.

Do you provide drone photography for all properties?

We offer drone photography for most properties, but we must comply with FAA regulations. We'll assess your property's location during booking to ensure compliance. Some areas near airports or restricted zones may have limitations.

How long does a typical photography session take?

A standard photography session typically takes less than an hour, usually around 45 minutes for just photos. If you add extra services like drone photography, 3D virtual tours, or video, that can add additional time to the session. We'll provide a specific time estimate during booking based on your selected services.

What should I do to prepare my property for photography?

We'll send you a detailed preparation checklist, but key items include: decluttering rooms, making beds, turning on all lights, opening blinds/curtains, and ensuring the exterior is tidy. We can also provide staging recommendations.

Do you offer virtual tours for all properties?

Yes, we offer 3D virtual tours for properties of all sizes. Our tours are mobile-friendly and can be embedded in MLS listings, websites, and social media. They're especially effective for larger properties and luxury listings.

Can you accommodate last-minute bookings?

We do our best to accommodate urgent requests. If you need same-day or next-day service, please call us directly. We may have cancellation slots available, though we can't guarantee availability during peak times.

What file formats do you deliver?

We deliver high-resolution JPEG files optimized for MLS listings and print materials. For virtual tours, you'll receive a shareable link and embed code. All files are delivered via our secure online gallery within 24 hours.

Do you work with real estate agents and property owners?

Yes, we work with both real estate professionals and individual property owners. We offer special pricing for real estate agents and can accommodate bulk bookings for multiple properties. Contact us for agent-specific packages.

What areas do you serve in Iowa?

We primarily serve the Des Moines metro area and surrounding communities within a 50-mile radius. This includes Ames, Ankeny, West Des Moines, Urbandale, Johnston, and nearby areas. For properties outside this range, travel fees may apply.
