PREPARING YOUR PROPERTY FOR TWILIGHT / SUNSET PHOTOS
This is an exterior specific photography shoot. No outdoor clutter should be present.
We are not responsible for any onsite staging, de-cluttering, cleaning, or landscaping. The house/property must be ready to be photographed when we arrives on site. To ensure the best twilight photographs, please follow this checklist as closely as possible.
Please ensure everything is ready, and nothing is overlooked. If you have any questions, please contact your listing agent before the shoot so they can communicate your questions/concerns to us. Thank you for helping ensure the best sunset photographs of your home!
