Master Shot List
What can you expect?
How Long Will This take?
What is the progression of what I will shoot?
Where do I start?
The following list is a Master Shot List with an idealized number of images developed over time (and mistakes) to shoot for various homes. Every home is different however there is a logical progression that is helpful to follow. This is generally the order of the shoot and also the order of the presentation of the finished images. There are exceptions of course. each home has specific features and special characteristics. My hope is that this Master Shot List will serve as a guide and a help to the REALTOR/Home Owner to know what to expect during the shoot and in the delivered images. Of course, your input on features of the home is welcome and needed.
