Prepare for your photo shoot with To The Point Photography LLC

Before your appointment, we ask you to please make sure that the property is fully ready to be photographed. This keeps everything running smoothly and on time.

• Remove vehicle(s) from the driveway and do not to park directly in front of the property. Please aim to park further down the street or in a garage when possible.
• Open window coverings, such as blinds, curtains, or drapes (turn vertical and venetian blinds to open position). This will let in natural light and show favorable views.
• Clean the windows so they are completely clear and transparent without any smudges or markings.
• Remove any items which may be taped or otherwise fastened to the refrigerator.
• Remove everything from your sinks - sponges, brushes, rage and soap
• Remove what you can from all countertops (bread, dishes, toothpaste, combs, soaps, food, toiletries, hand towels etc.) so that they are entirely clean and open.
• Tidy up the bedrooms. Make the beds and hide all clothing or other items that may be laying around.
• Put away any and all children's toys. Put them in storage containers, closets, cabinets, or any other location that is completely out of view.
• For homes with pets: remove any pet bowls, litter boxes, or toys in rooms that you plan to have photographed. 
• Put away and\y newspapers and magazines laying out around the house. Put them on bookshelves or store them in drawers to maximize the property's visual appeal.
• Make sure all light bulbs work and replace any broken lights. Clean light bulbs to remove dust. It is preferred that lighting is the same hue throughout. 
• Gather all trash and put it in trash bins outside. Then, conceal all trash containers by moving them out of view during the photoshoot.
• Get the lawn mowed and edged, the weeks pulled, and leaves picked up.
• Make sure the pool and pool area are clean. If there is temporary child fencing, take it down for the photoshoot. Turn on the pumps for waterfalls/spillways to maximize visual appeal. 
• Help the photographer by keeping pets and people out of the way during the shoot.
