Prep For Photos - Vacation Rentals
While the homeowner is responsible for cleaning and preparing the home, the photographer may make adjustments for appearance to ensure each space is presented in the best possible way.
Prior to the photo session, the homeowner will
- Turn on all available lighting in the property
- Raise the blinds in all rooms and pull open curtains and drapes
- Turn off all ceiling fans & TVs
- Turn on gas fireplaces, if present
- Ensure all pillows, furniture, linens are arranged neatly
- Bathroom:
- Lower all toilet lids
- Shower curtains should be partially opened to show off tile and fixtures
- Move toiletries out of sight
- Straighten towels
- Move any objects that detract from an appealing photo, both interior and exterior ie. trash cans, grill covers, cleaning products, items of clothing, rugs, towels, remote controls, items on top of counters, hoses, toys, boxes, other debris etc.
