Houston Real Estate Photographer

HOUSTON REAL ESTATE PHOTOGRAPHER

EXPERT REAL ESTATE PHOTOGRAPHY THAT SELLS HOMES

Great real estate photography helps homes sell faster and attract more buyers. With 25+ years of experience, I create high-quality images that make listings stand out. As a Master of Photography (M.Photog.) and Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) with the Professional Photographers of America, I bring both technical expertise and creative vision to every shoot.

Why Professional Photography Matters

Buyers decide within seconds whether a home is worth seeing. Sharp, natural-looking images make a lasting impression and help listings perform better online.

Why Work With a Houston Real Estate Photographer?

I focus on straight lines, accurate colors, and strong composition to showcase every property at its best. Better photos mean better results.

REAL ESTATE PHOTOGRAPHY THAT WORKS FOR YOU

First impressions matter—especially in real estate. The right images can capture attention instantly and set a listing apart from the competition.

Unlike many photographers who limit the number of images, I provide a full set of 40-70 high-quality photos per property. As a result, Realtors can showcase every detail and market their listings more effectively to serious buyers. In addition, strong listing photos help properties perform better on MLS platforms and social media.

Because buyers often search for homes online, professional photography ensures your listing makes a great first impression. When you hire a Houston real estate photographer, you are investing in images that enhance a home’s appeal and create a lasting impact.

How Professional Photography Increases Home Value

Homes with high-quality photos tend to attract more views, higher offers, and faster sales. As a result, professional real estate photography is one of the most effective ways to increase buyer interest. In addition, well-lit, carefully composed images help tell a property’s story and highlight its best features.

WORK WITH A TRUSTED HOUSTON REAL ESTATE PHOTOGRAPHER

Beyond capturing great photos, I make the process simple and stress-free. I arrive on time, deliver next-day images, and always help you impress your sellers.

With a positive, can-do attitude, I ensure every shoot runs smoothly. Because selling a home is already stressful, photography shouldn’t be. I make the process seamless and efficient, so you can focus on what you do best—selling homes.

If you’re looking for a Houston real estate photographer who delivers high-quality results without the stress, let’s work together.

PRICING

My real estate photography pricing starts at $175, based on the home’s square footage. The larger the house, the more time it takes—and that affects pricing.

When reviewing my price list, remember that high-quality real estate photography is an investment. While I may not be the cheapest option, my experience, reliability, and fast turnaround make the difference. Because of this, I’m always happy to answer questions about my shooting style, equipment, and process. Just ask!

AERIAL PHOTOS

I’ve always wanted to add altitude to my real estate photos. Years ago, I even taped a GoPro camera to a remote-controlled helicopter to capture aerial views. Let’s just say that didn’t end well—those little rotors are powerful! I also set up a 60-foot tripod, but the long setup time made it impractical.

Now, with drone photography, I can finally get the aerial shots I’ve always envisioned—without the hassle. My DJI Air 3 drone captures crisp, high-quality images that give listings a whole new perspective.

Aerial photography isn’t just about getting a higher angle—it’s about showcasing properties in a way that grabs attention. In addition, as an FAA-certified drone pilot, I ensure every shot is both stunning and fully compliant with regulations.

LUXURY REAL ESTATE VIDEOS

Video marketing is a powerful tool for engaging buyers and making properties more memorable. That’s why my cinematic video tours highlight each home’s best features with smooth, professional visuals.

A well-produced video does more than showcase a home—it creates a connection. Whether it’s emphasizing a home’s layout, high-end finishes, or beautiful surroundings, my videos help buyers see themselves in the space before they visit. Because of this, listings with video tours often receive more engagement and interest.

In addition to video, I also offer drone footage and Matterport 3D tours to give buyers a more immersive experience.

Why Video Matters in Real Estate Marketing

With more buyers starting their home search online, video content has become an essential tool for marketing. Video tours provide a better sense of space, layout, and design, making it easier for potential buyers to imagine themselves in the home. In addition, homes with video content tend to receive more engagement and higher conversion rates.

WALKTHROUGH VIDEOS

A video walkthrough gives buyers a clear sense of a home’s layout. Unlike photos alone, it helps them understand the flow of a space, making it an essential tool in today’s market.

What Makes My Walkthrough Videos Stand Out?

  • Smooth, stabilized footage for a professional look
  • Showcases how rooms connect for better buyer engagement
  • An affordable alternative to cinematic videos, starting at $350
  • Fast turnaround—ready in just two days

MATTERPORT

Virtual tours allow buyers to explore a home digitally, similar to Google Street View but for the inside of a property. In today’s market, having a Matterport 3D tour can make a listing stand out even more.

  • Custom styles available to match different homes

DAY TO DUSK IMAGES

A day-to-dusk transformation creates a warm, inviting twilight effect—perfect for making homes feel more luxurious and welcoming. In addition, these images often get more engagement online.

Why Choose Day to Dusk Editing?

  • Instantly enhances curb appeal without needing a separate twilight shoot
  • Adds a cozy glow by illuminating windows
  • Fast turnaround—ready in 1-2 days

A floor plan helps buyers understand a home’s layout and flow before they step inside.

Why Add a Floor Plan?

  • Gives buyers a clear overview of the space
  • Improves listing engagement by providing more details
  • Takes just 10 minutes at the end of a photo session
  • Affordable pricing—starting at $75 for homes under 3,000 sq. ft.

MAXIMIZING YOUR HOME'S VISUAL APPEAL

High-quality real estate photography makes a difference, but preparing your home for the photoshoot is just as important. A well-prepared home ensures the best possible images, helping your listing stand out.

Curb Appeal Tips

  • Tidy up landscaping—trim bushes, remove debris, and hide hoses or signs.
  • Clear the driveway of cars for an unobstructed shot.
  • Open curtains and blinds to brighten interiors.
  • Wet the driveway just before the shoot for a polished look.

Interior Prep Tips

  • Declutter surfaces—hide power cords, kitchen items, and personal belongings.
  • Ensure all lights work for consistent brightness.
  • Store excess items in the garage to keep spaces open.
  • Turn off ceiling fans to prevent motion blur.

Backyard Tips

  • Keep landscaping neat, just like the front yard.
  • Remove distractions like BBQ grills and pool toys.
  • Clean the pool the day before the shoot.
