FAQ
Scheduling your residential real estate photo shoot is very easy. Simply fill out our online form, call us at 512.893.7451, or email us at sales@squarefootphotography.com.
We prefer to schedule our real estate photo shoots with at least 2 business days notice. If you have a more urgent need, call us at 512.893.7451.
We base this on the property. A small condo might only require 18 well framed images to encapsulate the space, but a larger home might require over 30 images to really get a sense of the home, space, and lifestyle. See our pricing page for more details.
We work diligently to make sure we can deliver processed images the day after the photo shoot with the only exception to this being Saturday appointments. Any photos that are taken on a Saturday will be delivered Monday morning.
You will receive a link to download the photos as a .zip file. Be sure to uncompress the .zip file before viewing the photos.
Before the shoot, if you desire any specific angles, please don’t hesitate to let us know. If you are on-site during the process, our photographers would be more than happy to accommodate any specific angles you prefer. After the pictures are adjusted and corrected through our rigorous post process, our experienced team of editors will ensure that you receive the best images highlighting the property, as well as any angles that were requested.
Images are delivered in .jpg format, both high resolution and resized for MLS. Please let us know if you require a different format or size for your images.

We are fully self sufficient and don’t require client attendance, but you are more than welcome to be involved in the process as much as you’d like.
Some recommendations for preparing the property include cleaning the entire home, hiding clutter, wires and trash cans, fluffing pillows, removing personal items and photos, removing cars from driveways, and opening umbrellas/staging the exterior. For a more detailed list, please contact our team and we will send you a prep checklist.
The whole process should take less than an hour for any property less than 4,000 square feet. For larger properties please allow a little bit more time to cover everything.
We understand that certain situations require immediate publishing. Do not hesitate to ask if we can schedule a last minute shoot and return images as soon as possible. We are prepared to go above and beyond to fulfill unexpected and surprise needs.
Please let us know as soon as possible if any scheduling conflicts arise. We understand last minute showings and appointments are unavoidable. With a 48hr lead time, re-scheduling should not be an issue. If you must cancel a shoot, within less than 24hrs, a small cancellation fee of $40 will have to be issued to compensate our photographer.
While our photographers can shoot on cloudy days, we can not use equipment in the rain. If gray skies become an issue, our editing team has the ability to add a blue sky replacement to almost any exterior photo! However, if the weather conditions are extreme or become hazardous, we will reschedule at a time convenient for you.
Payment can be made online prior to the photo shoot or we can accept credit card over the phone by calling 512.893.7451. We require residential customers to pay prior or at time of service.
We guarantee we will keep your images on our server for at least six months, although we often keep them archived for longer.

Our team is more than happy to travel outside of the city. Please contact us with specific details so that we can best accommodate your needs. Please note that travel appointments often require more lead time and are subject to a mileage fee of $1/mile outside of 25 miles from the city center.
