Curb Appeal Photography
Frequently asked questions.
When your listing goes live, so do your photos. Certified, insured, and delivered in 24 hours, everything below explains how we make that promise real.
Book a shoot →
Scheduling & Availability.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Book 48–72 hours out to lock in your preferred time. During peak listing season, spring and summer, our calendar fills fast. Agents who book early get first pick of same-week slots.
How long does a typical shoot take?
Most sessions run 1–2 hours. Larger homes, 3,000+ sq ft, or properties with extensive grounds can take up to 3 hours. You’ll get a clear time estimate the moment you book.
Do you offer same-day or next-day turnaround?
Every shoot is delivered the next business day. That’s our standard, not an upsell. Need it faster? Rush delivery is available for an additional fee, scheduling permitting.
What’s your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
We ask for 24 hours’ notice to reschedule or cancel at no charge. This keeps our calendar open for other agents and protects the time we’ve held for you.
Do you shoot evenings and weekends?
Yes, including twilight sessions, priced separately, which are one of the highest-impact upgrades you can add. They show off exterior lighting and curb appeal in a way daytime shots simply can’t.
Pricing & Packages.
What are your rates, and what’s included?
Pricing scales with square footage and package tier. Every package includes professionally edited photos delivered through a private online gallery, with no separate editing fee or surprise add-ons. Contact us for a custom quote built around your listing.
Are there travel fees?
None within our standard service area, Metro Atlanta and Middle Georgia. Listings outside that footprint will incur a travel fee.
Do you offer volume pricing?
Yes. Agents and teams booking multiple sessions a month qualify for preferred-partner rates. Ask us about setting up a standing account.
How and when do I pay?
Payment is due on delivery of your final gallery. We accept all major credit cards, ACH transfer, and Zelle. Large or multi-service bookings may require a deposit to secure the date.
Services Offered.
Do you offer video walkthroughs or virtual tours?
Yes, listing video walkthroughs, social media reels, and 3D virtual tours, all available as add-ons to any photography package.
Do you provide drone and aerial photography?
Yes. Every drone operator on our team is FAA Part 107 certified, fully licensed and fully insured. Aerial shots are especially valuable for large lots, acreage, waterfront, and any property where the surroundings sell the home.
Do you offer twilight or golden-hour shoots?
Absolutely, and they’re consistently one of our most-requested upgrades. Scheduled 20–30 minutes after sunset, twilight photography makes pools, landscaping, and exterior lighting genuinely glow.
Do you offer virtual staging?
Yes, a cost-effective way to help buyers picture a vacant room or an entire empty home as a finished, livable space. We can stage a single room or a full property.
Photo Delivery.
How many edited photos will I receive?
Typically 25 professionally edited images for a standard residential property, scaled to package and home size.
How are photos delivered?
Through a private online gallery link, live within 24–48 hours of the shoot. Download full-resolution files, share the link directly with clients, or select favorites.
What resolution and file formats do you provide?
High-resolution JPEGs, optimized for both MLS upload and print. RAW files aren’t included by default but can be requested.
Can I request edits after delivery?
Minor revisions, brightness, color correction, item removal, are included within 5 business days of delivery, no extra charge. Larger re-edits or reshoots are quoted separately.
Preparing for the Shoot.
How should the property be prepared?
Declutter surfaces, remove personal items and trash bins, make all beds, turn on every interior light, and tuck away cords. A clean, bright, tidy home is the single biggest factor in a great gallery.
Do you provide a prep checklist?
Yes, sent automatically at booking. Sharing it with sellers ahead of time is the easiest way to raise the quality of every photo we take.
Should the homeowner be present?
Not required. If they are, we simply ask they stay in a room we haven’t shot yet, and that pets be secured or removed if possible.
What if the property isn’t ready when we arrive?
We’ll do everything we can to work with the space, but we can’t be responsible for results affected by an unprepared home. A reschedule at that point is treated as a same-day cancellation.
Editing & Style.
What’s your editing style?
Clean, bright, and true-to-life, never over-processed. We want every image to look as inviting in person as it does online.
Do you offer sky replacement or exterior touch-ups?
Yes, sky replacement is available for overcast days, and we routinely remove parked cars, trash bins, and other distractions in post-processing.
Can I see a portfolio?
Of course. Visit our portfolio or ask us for a sample gallery matched to your property type: single-family, condo, luxury, vacant, and more.
Licensing & Usage Rights.
Who owns the photos after delivery?
You receive a license to use the photos for marketing the listed property. MLS, social media, your website, print, and advertising are all covered.
Can the homeowner use the photos?
Photos are licensed to the agent or brokerage for listing marketing. Personal, non-commercial use by the homeowner is generally fine; resale or commercial reuse is not included.
Are there restrictions on sharing the images?
Images can’t be sold, sublicensed, or transferred to third parties without our written consent. Have a specific use case in mind? Just ask.
Experience & Credentials.
How long have you been shooting real estate photography?
Curb Appeal Photography has specialized in residential and commercial real estate media for over 9 years, serving agents, brokerages, and property managers across Metro Atlanta and Middle Georgia.
Are you insured?
Yes, we carry general liability insurance, with a certificate of insurance available on request for brokerage or property management requirements.
Do you have reviews from past clients?
Yes, verified reviews on Google and Zillow. We’re also glad to connect you directly with agents or brokerages we work with regularly.
Have a question we didn’t cover? We’d love to hear from you.
