hire a stylist / BYO accessories

Consider investing in our professional stylist to ensure a smooth photo shoot with no detail overlooked. They'll bring custom floral arrangements for each space and all the best accessories that add that final touch to every photo to make your design stand out. If you're not adding on our stylist, be sure to bring a ton of styling accessories--fresh florals, real produce, decorative towels, books, shoes, hangers/clothes, glassware, food, vases, etc. Bring what you think you need, then add more.

send us photos

We love to see photos of the space prior to the shoot. This helps us visualize and plan. Nothing fancy needed, cell phone photos work just fine.

prep the space

Make sure your client understands the condition their home should be in prior to the shoot date (CLEAN, no family photos, de-cluttered, no pets, etc.). Have props  in place, styled, and more options nearby to make the best use of our time once we start. Think of layering accessories in the space to give it a 'lived in' feel.

envision the shots you want.

Visualize the shots you want before the shoot and make a list (better yet, take cell phone pics). We love seeing your favorite angles, features, ideas, etc. Don't be afraid to get involved during the shoot, too. That's why we shoot tethered to an iPad - the whole process is truly a creative collaboration.
