The Smart Album Series: Sarasota Real Estate Photography that Sells
In real estate, your photos are your first showing. You get seconds to capture a buyer’s attention before they swipe to the next listing. After 20 years of photographing hundreds of homes and five years as Realtors ourselves, we created the Smart Album Series to deliver efficient, high-converting storytelling for your listings while respecting everyone’s time.
We’re not just photographers. We’re your partners in making listings sell.
Why “Smart” Means “Less Is More”
The market is flooded with “unlimited images” promises. The reality? They’re padded galleries with filler exterior shots while the interiors get shortchanged. We don’t do that.
Our Smart Album System provides 15, 25, or 40 images—no more, no less.
15-Image Album: Ideal for small condos, vacant units, or owners who only want essentials captured.
25-Image Album: Perfect for 2–3 bedroom homes, offering a complete yet concise story.
40-Image Album: Designed for homes with standout kitchens, pools, or lush landscaping that deserves to be showcased.
We have included our 15-25 and 40 image shot list diagrams below so you can see exactly what we cover and how we work. If you have special requests, let us know onsite before we begin. If you’re a designer or have a meticulous eye, we offer a Luxury Album option that covers every detail you need, with a required prep call to set clear expectations and time allocation.
How We Shoot for Speed and Results
We value your time and that of your clients. Here is how we keep shoots efficient (typically 30–55 minutes) while maintaining the high quality you see in our work:
Clear the driveway before arrival by parking at the corner or clubhouse.
Secure pets in the garage or take them for a walk during the shoot. We love them, but they can’t be in the photos.
Ensure the home is fully prepped and clutter-free before our arrival. We shoot; we don’t stage or move furniture. We can adjust small decor items for the best compositions but must focus on capturing light, angles, drones, and 3D tours without risking our gear.
If you need to stay onsite, pick a room to remain in while we work; we will photograph it last. If you see the camera, the camera sees you. Reflection or removal edits will incur a $15 charge per item removed.
Trash bins, hoses, yard debris, and items left out that need to be digitally removed will be charged only $15 per removal during post-processing, keeping your gallery clean and professional.
Overcast or Rainy Days? They’re Better Than You Think.
Cloudy skies are not a problem. We include free sky replacements on exteriors for overcast days, and clouds act as a giant diffuser, providing softer, cleaner light with reduced harsh shadows inside your home.
Service Area and Mileage Policy
We service Sarasota, Lido, Longboat Key, Siesta Key, Anna Maria Island, Venice, Nokomis, Osprey, Englewood, North Port, Parrish, Palmetto, Punta Gorda, and surrounding Suncoast areas. Our headquarters are located on exit 210 - Fruitville.
We’re proud to be affordable, and while others have doubled or tripled prices post-COVID, we have kept our pricing consistent. To remain profitable while offering you the best rates, we charge small, fair mileage fees:
Color | Service Area (Miles) | Base Rate |
Blue | 0–20 miles | $0 |
Red | 21–40 miles | $20 |
Orange | 41–60 miles | $40 |
Green | 60–80 miles | $60 |
Free Floorplan with every Smart 15-25-40 album
We include a high-end, accurate floor plan with every Smart Album—an essential that many companies now upcharge for. Our floorplans are meticulously measured (though always estimated), displaying clear room dimensions while also showing appliances, toilets, tubs, and sinks for better buyer visualization. Many providers skip these details, but we include them because buyers care.
This combination of price, quality, and detailed floorplans makes us nearly impossible to compete with, positioning us as the most affordable and best real estate photography business in the area today.
A Quick Note on Photo Licensing
We’re thrilled to create beautiful images that help you market your listing effectively. Please remember that, just like music, photography comes with usage rights. Your Smart Album is exclusively licensed for your use in marketing this specific property.
This means photos can’t be given away or shared with other agents, owners, HOAs, or community managers without purchasing their own license. If someone else needs to use the same album, they are welcome to purchase it directly from us at the same price.
This keeps things fair, protects your investment, and ensures the high-quality service you expect. If you have any questions, just reach out—we’re always here to help.
