Services Description
Zillow Walk-Through Video
There's no better way to showcase a property than with beautiful aerial images. Our basic aerial package includes up to 10 images (professionally edited) from varying heights to show off the property at it's best angle. Also, rest assured, we use very quiet drones so we don't disturb the neighbors.
Our subscription program grants you access to all of our high quality images of local landmarks, restaurants, popular attractions, parks, etc. This also includes images from developments and condominium complexes such as pools, sports amenities, gyms, clubhouses, entrance signs, etc. If you don't see what you need feel free to reach out to us at any time and we will be sure to get out there right away.

How long does a shoot take?
Absolutely NOT! We understand that you are always busy and never require agents to remain on site during a photo shoot. In fact, we prefer, but not required, to have the least amount of people on site as possible. This makes for a smooth and efficient shoot when we can freely take control of a property. So feel free to grab a cup of coffee or go show that other property. We got this!
In most cases, Monday-Friday = Next business day by 1pm. Sat-Sun = Monday
F.A.Q.
A link will be provided through email that will contain all of your images. This link will contain two sets. One "Full Size" (full resolution) and one "MLS Resized" (resized specifically for MLS). All slideshows/videos will be sent via DropBox.
How much notice must I give to reschedule?
What forms of payment do you accept?
Do I have to be there on site?
Anywhere! Anything outside of 20 miles/30 minutes (each way) from Hamilton, NJ is subject to a travel charge. You will be given a price for travel before the shoot is scheduled.
How do I get my clients to style/prep their home?
We shoot Monday-Saturday; 52 weeks a year.
We highly recommend a minimum of 24 hours notice for all cancellations. Anything inside of that window will be subject to a cancellation fee. Fees range from 50-100% of total shoot cost.
We have an answer for that! www.prepmylisting.com. This website was created solely for the purpose of giving your clients some pointers in getting their home ready to be photographed. We highly recommend that all agents send their sellers this link at least a week before a scheduled shoot. This website is branded for Daniel James Photography but does not contain any pricing information.
Do you work on the weekends?
1-2000 sq/ft = 45 minutes 2,000-3,000 sq/ft = 1 hour 3,000 + sq/ft = 1-1.5 hours
We will direct agents/clients on small items such as removal of rugs, trash bins, towels, soap dispensers, etc. We ask that clients send sellers our Styling/Prep guide in advance so they can take care of this before we arrive on site. We will not move/arrange large items such as living room furniture, bedrooms sets, etc.
How far do you travel?
Do you stage properties and move things around?
How long until I receive the images?
We accept cash, check, debit, all major credit cards, PayPal, TD Instant Transfer and Venmo. We request that all payments are made within 7 business days of final delivery.
How will my images be sent?
