Getting Ready Guide

We want to provide the best service to you as possible. However, we have a “shoot as is” policy to ensure our shoots end on time.

We’re happy to adjust blinds, lighting, and close toilet seats – small things. We don’t make beds, move or handle pets, move personal hygiene items, or digitally remove vehicles, power lines, cords, etc.

1. Make sure to thoroughly clean the entire house (including vacuuming, mopping, wiping windows, etc).

2. Turn on all the lights and open all the blinds.

3. Turn off all ceiling fans, computer screens and TVs.

4. Remove all floor rugs to reveal flooring

5. Ensure all beds are made, all countertops are clean, and all shoes/jackets are in closets.

Kitchen: Ensure all countertops are clear, even soaps & appliances.

Bedrooms: Make the bed, ensure nightstands are clear of personal items, hide cables, and remove any clutter that wouldn’t look nice on camera.

Bathrooms: Clear countertops completely, put toilet seats down, close closets, remove washing products like shampoo & soap, and remove floor mats.

This is where the first impression is made. Ensure the front lawn is completely clear of clutter. Anything you see that wouldn’t look great on camera should be put elsewhere.

Front Yard: Ensure the garage door is closed, cars are removed from the driveway, landscaping is neat, debris is swept off the driveway, water hoses are out of sight, and trash cans are out of sight as well.

Back Yard: Ensure the yard is well kept, porch is free from leaves or debris, chairs are neatly arranged, if there’s a pool, the cover should be off and water should be clear (however features such as jets should be turned off, while pool lights should be kept on).
