How much do you charge for property photography?
The Booking Fee is $30 + $7 per pioture. Your photographs will be delivered SAME DAY in two formats: one for the MLS and one larger for print.
What areas do you service?
All over the greater Jacksonville area. Up to 50 miles round trip from Upper Mandarin is included in my basic booking fee. I charge a small extra distance fee.
How do I schedule my photoshoot?
Email nixebiz@hotmail.com with your listing address and preferred day for photo shoot. I will reply within 24 hours with confirmed closest time slot.
How long does a typical photo shoot take?
Homes up to 2,500 ft² shoots take around 1 hour (if the home is prepared). Empty or staged homes can be shot by me alone, with a lockbox code, otherwise the agent or homeowner must be present.
Larger homes take longer but are usually completed within 90 minutes
When can I expect my photos once the Property shoot is finished?
Usually same day, via Google Drive.
How will the photos be delivered?
Digitally – you’ll get an email with a Google Drive link.
What size will the Property images be & are they ready for the MLS?
You get one set of jpeg images of around 1 MB, optimized for MLS and website use, and a second set optimized for Printing (Open House flyers, etc.) I can also output to almost any other set of custom specs.
How do I pay?
Realtors get an email link to a WAVE accounting bill which you can pay via credit card or check. Businesses get an invoice attached to an email.
Will my Property photos look as good as the ones on your website and marketing?
The photos I use to self-promote are actual work-product. I will recommend Photoshop processing for blue sky swaps if the shoot is on a cloudy day.
What if I’m unhappy with the Property photos?
In the (unlikely) event that the images do not live up to your expectations, I can make editing adjustments and resubmit. Your satisfaction is my top priority.
What is your rescheduling policy?
You can cancel a scheduled photo shoot up to 24 hours ahead of time. There is no charge to reschedule to the next available time/day.
Do you offer video tours, 360 photography or drone/helicopter photo-shooting?
No – I shoot stills only, which can be made into virtual tours.

What happens during the shoot?
While I allow some time for moving objects in order to capture the best images possible, you should be aware that this does not include making beds or substantial re-arranging furniture. The homeowner and agent should have already prepared the home before my arrival – including de-cluttering, de-personalizing and cleaning.
How should I prepare a property for a photo shoot?
These tips will help you prepare the home to looks its best, and to sell as quickly as possible:
• Remove as many personal items as possible (family pictures, toothbrushes, shampoo bottles, wedding pictures, etc.)
• De-clutter your home as much as possible (fridge magnets, stacks of paper, toys, etc.)
• Replace every burned out light bulb.
• Clean countertops, floors, vents, carpets, mirrors, blinds, etc.
• Straighten any blinds (and fix or replace), curtains and window coverings, and clean windows.
• Repair – all the problems the homeowner secretly knows and hopes no one else does.
• Shampoo carpets to remove stains, (pets, etc.)
• Sweep the walkway and driveway. DO NOT cut the grass or trim bushes and trees closer than 3 days before the photo shoot. Pay particular attention to the front curb appeal color – it is the first impression, and likely the first photo potential buyers will see.
Should I stage the property for a photo shoot?
This guide from HGTV tells you what you need to know about staging your home to sell — and will help prepare for great photographs for your home.
Do I own the copyright to the photos once I have paid?

Can I use the photos on my website or other marketing materials?
Yes. Payment of the photo shoot invoice gives you the license to use the images to advertise you and your services.
