Any processing errors or missed deliverables (e.g., incomplete image delivery or technical glitches) will be corrected at no additional charge.
Requests for major edits—such as object removal, sky replacements, polishing window views, virtual staging, or alternate versions for print/social—are considered custom editing services and will be billed at $15–$25 per image or quoted per request.
All revision requests must be submitted within 7 calendar days of delivery. After that window or once images have been approved, additional re-editing will be billed accordingly.
Properties must be fully cleaned, de-cluttered, and photo-ready before the scheduled appointment time. This includes:
• All lights turned on and working
• Personal items, garbage, and clutter removed
• Surfaces wiped down
• Staging completed if applicable

• Personal items, garbage, and clutter removed
• Surfaces wiped down
• Staging completed if applicable
As the photographer, I focus on lighting, composition, and capturing the best angles of the space—not cleaning, staging, or digitally fixing preventable mess.
Requests to remove clutter, garbage bins, cords, or unprepared items in post-production will be treated as custom edits and billed accordingly.
