Prepare for Your Appointment

Thank you for choosing Coastal Images! To ensure your property is fully prepared for its photoshoot and to help us capture it at its best, please follow these guidelines. If the property isn’t ready, we may need to reschedule.

General Preparation-

  • Driveway: Move vehicles from the driveway and avoid parking directly in front of the property. Parking down the street or in a garage is preferred.

  • Bins: Please ensure bins are out of sight, ideally in a garage or storage area.

  • Garden & Lawn: Mow the lawn the day before, trim edges, pull weeds, and clear leaves. Hide garden hoses, tools and any other garden equipment.

  • Pool Area: Remove pool covers, cleaners, and toys. Clean the pool a day before the shoot.

  • Clothesline: Ensure no clothes are hanging on the line.

Windows & Lighting-

  • Windows: Open all window coverings (curtains, blinds) to let in natural light and show any views. Ensure windows are spotless and free of smudges

  • Lights: Check that all light bulbs are working and ensure consistent lighting hues. Turn on all lights, including lamps.

Indoor Spaces-

  • Kitchen: Clear all items from the sinks (soap, sponges, dishes) and store them out of sight. Remove magnets and papers from the fridge. Add decorative items like flowers or a fruit bowl.

  • Bathrooms: Put away all personal items and ensure toilet seats are down.

  • Bedrooms: Make the beds, add throws, and hide any clothing or clutter.

  • Toys: Store children’s toys in containers, closets, or out-of-view spaces.

Pets & Miscellaneous-

  • Pets: Remove pet bowls, beds, litter trays, and toys. Keep pets and people out of the way during the shoot.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: Declutter!

Thank you!

We look forward to showcasing your home to its full potential!
