Pricing & Booking
How much does real estate photography cost?
Professional real estate photography starts at $175 for properties under 2,000 square feet and includes interior and exterior photography plus a Basic Floor Plan. Pricing increases with property size.
How much do media bundles cost?
Media bundles start at $225. Every bundle includes photography, Matterport, a 2D floor plan, and the complete Marketing Kit. Higher bundles add aerial photography and video.
Should I choose a bundle or A la Carte services?
Bundles usually provide the strongest value when a listing needs several media types. A la Carte pricing is useful when the property only needs one or two specific services.
How do I schedule an appointment?
Use the online ordering portal to select the property size, services, date, and available appointment time. Include complete property and access information with the order.
How are properties larger than 7,500 square feet priced?
Homes larger than 7,500 square feet, commercial spaces, and unusual properties receive a custom quote based on the scope and access requirements.
Can I add another service after booking?
Contact Picture This Property as soon as possible. Additions depend on the appointment duration, property access, photographer schedule, weather, airspace, and the service requested.
Photography & Delivery
What is included with real estate photography?
Photography includes professionally captured interior and exterior images, bright color-balanced editing, MLS-ready delivery, and a detailed 2D floor plan with approximate room dimensions.
When will my real estate photographs be delivered?
Professionally edited real estate photographs are typically delivered the next day. Video, Matterport, virtual staging, twilight, and other specialty media may have different delivery times.
Are the photographs ready for MLS?
Yes. Listing photographs are edited and organized for MLS and online marketing. The agent remains responsible for following the rules of the MLS and advertising platforms where media is published.
Do you photograph both interiors and exteriors?
Yes. Standard real estate photography covers the interior and exterior of one structure based on the property size and ordered scope.
Is a floor plan included with photography?
Yes. A Basic Floor Plan is included with every shoot. Floor Plan Plus is $35, and Floor Plan Plus 3D is $125.
Specialty Media
Do you offer drone photography and video?
Yes. Drone media is available when weather, airspace, authorization, visibility, property access, and safe operating conditions allow.
What is the difference between Matterport and a 360 Tour?
Matterport creates a complete interactive 3D model with dollhouse, floor-plan, and measurement views. A 360 Tour connects panoramic viewpoints with hotspots for a simpler immersive experience.
What real estate video styles are available?
Options include vertical Instagram or TikTok-style reels, landscape YouTube or Facebook walkthroughs, photo slideshows, and videos designed for lots or acreage.
What is the difference between live and virtual twilight?
Live twilight photography is captured at the property during the evening light window. Virtual twilight transforms suitable daytime exterior photographs into a realistic dusk presentation through editing.
What virtual staging options are available?
Express Staging is $100 for five empty-room photographs in one coordinated style. Custom Staging is $35 per photograph and can include specific furniture, decor, layouts, or selected object removal.
What is included in the Marketing Kit?
Marketing Kit includes branded and unbranded property websites, galleries, connected tour and floor-plan links, social graphics, automated videos, printable materials, lead capture, and weekly traffic reports.
How much does the Marketing Kit cost?
Marketing Kit is $35 when added to an individual listing and is included with every media bundle. It includes one year of property-website hosting.
Property Preparation & Access
How should the property be prepared?
Complete cleaning, decluttering, staging, repairs, landscaping, lighting checks, and personal-item removal before the appointment. The photographer's job is to capture the prepared property rather than clean or rearrange it.
Should the property be vacant during photography?
Whenever possible, occupants, children, contractors, cleaners, and other vendors should leave during capture so the photographer can work efficiently and avoid people appearing in the media.
What should I do with pets?
Secure pets in a safe area that will not be photographed or remove them from the property during the appointment. Tell the photographer about any animals or access concerns in advance.
What information is needed for a condo or high-rise?
Provide parking, gate, concierge, lockbox, elevator, loading, management, amenity, and unit-access instructions. Reserve elevators or building access before the appointment when required.
Can shared amenities be photographed?
Yes, when the agent or property contact arranges permission and access. Pools, fitness centers, lounges, rooftops, courtyards, garages, and other amenities must be accessible during the appointment.
What happens if weather affects an exterior service?
The appropriate response depends on the service and conditions. Drone, twilight, and exterior capture can be affected by rain, wind, visibility, safety, and airspace. Picture This Property will communicate when conditions require an adjustment.
Service Areas
What areas do you serve?
Picture This Property serves Cypress, Houston, Tomball, Spring, The Woodlands, Katy, Conroe, Sugar Land, Pearland, Galveston, College Station, Huntsville, and many surrounding Texas communities listed on the Service Areas page.
