Airbnb and vacation rental photography, made for how guests actually shop

We photograph short-term rentals across Central California, from Fresno and Clovis to cabins in Shaver Lake, Bass Lake and Oakhurst. Every shoot is planned around what makes your rental worth the trip: the view from the deck, the light in the kitchen, the fire pit at dusk, the small details guests remember.
Airbnb photography works differently from listing photography. A home for sale needs photos for a few weeks. Your rental photos stay live for years, competing in search every single night, so we shoot wide for space and tight for the experience.

03 / What We Shoot

Short-term rental photography,
from first click to five stars.

  1. I.

    Interior and Detail Photography

    Bright, true-to-color wide shots of every room, paired with the detail shots that sell the stay: the coffee bar, the game room, the linens, the view from the bed. We pay extra attention to amenities guests search for.

    Daytime · Signature
  2. II.

    Aerial Drone Photography

    5 to 10 aerial images showing the lot, the lake, the mountains or the vineyard around you. For mountain cabins and properties with a view, aerials are what separate you from the listing next door.

    Signature
  3. III.

    Twilight Photography

    Taken just after sunset with every light on. Twilight exteriors stand out in Airbnb search results and make the best cover photo you can give a listing.

    Signature
  4. IV.

    Vacation Rental Video

    A cinematic walkthrough for your listing, direct booking site and social media. Choose a daytime film, or a day-to-night film that carries the property from morning light into evening.

08 / Questions
How long does an Airbnb photo shoot take?+

A daytime shoot takes 60 to 120 minutes on average, depending on the size of the rental and how many amenities and details there are to capture.

How long does a twilight session take?+

30 to 45 minutes. We arrive about 15 minutes before sunset to turn on every light and stay 15 to 20 minutes after.

Do you photograph mountain cabins?+

Yes. Cabins and lake houses in Shaver Lake, Bass Lake, Oakhurst, Coarsegold and Mariposa are a big part of our short-term rental work, and aerial photography is especially valuable for them. A travel fee applies to properties 40 minutes or more outside Fresno.

How should I prepare the rental?+

Set it up exactly as a guest would find it at check-in: beds made, towels out, counters clear, every bulb working. Hot tub covers off, outdoor furniture set, and any amenities you want featured ready to go.

Do I need to be there for the shoot?+

No. You're welcome to be on site to help make sure the rental is ready, but it isn't required. A lockbox or door code works fine.

How do I pay?+

Payment is made through the property website we send at delivery, processed by Square. All major cards are accepted, and payment unlocks downloads.

Is there a cancellation fee?+

Same-day cancellations carry a $100 late cancellation fee.
