Our aim is to capture the best possible photos of your home. It's what we're good at.

We have an art director and a professional film director on our team; they style & grade every home we shoot.

We have a small ask ahead of the photo and video shoot. Please make your home look its absolute best!

Some Tips 👇

1. The Basics

If you're time-poor, just read this one.

  • Depersonalise, declutter and free the floor space

  • Get everything clean and sparkling

  • Open blinds fully and straighten curtains

  • Ensure that all light bulbs are working and turn on all lights

  • Straighten tables and chairs and arrange cushions attractively

Room by Room

2. The Kitchen

Clear worktop of all non-essential items

  • Remove fridge magnets

  • Remove washing up liquids, tea towels, soaps and plugs

  • Hide rubbish bins, pet food bowls.

  • Adding a bowl of fresh fruit or vase of flowers can do wonders

3. The Bathroom

  • Clear toothbrushes, soaps, razors, plugs and shampoos from showers and baths

  • Remove bins, scales, bathmats and laundry baskets

  • Keep towels to a minimum – well placed, colour matched towels are great

  • Close the toilet lid, remove toilet brush and spare toilet rolls

  • Adding candles or unusual bottles adds some interest

4. The Bedrooms

  • Clear all surfaces of clothes, shoes and laundry

  • Remove tissues and jewellery from bedside tables

  • Make sure you can’t see anything under the bed

  • Ensure the bed looks tidy, use your best ironed linen

5. Reception & Dining Rooms

  • Clear all children’s toys, remotes and excess books

  • Clean fireplaces, open blinds and plump cushions

  • If you have an attractive looking fireplace, lighting it looks wonderful

6. Outside Space

  • Please park any cars on the road in front of your property before the shoot (With no cars on show, it gives the sense of a quiet street and a clean facade)

  • Move bins, garden hoses, toys, tools and bikes out of sight

  • If you have hedges or trees, please consider trimming them

  • Clean patios, mow grass and rake any stray leave

We love property photos, and we're excited to see yours :).
