Madison has now shot multiple Airbnbs for us and has done an excellent job on all of them. We plan to use her as out photographer for all our properties moving forward. We highly recommend!

Matthew R. · Western NC
★★★★★

Madison is the best to work with. She is very talented and did an amazing job with capturing our Airbnb. She is very professional and replies very fast. I got 2 bookings in a couple of hours after uploading the pictures. Will definitely work with her in the future!

Yosimar F. · Charlotte, NC
★★★★★

Madison created beautiful, elegant, light filled interior and exterior photos of our home. Her photos were much better than anything a realtor has ever gotten for us over the years. She focused on getting light filled photos and could envision what a potential buyer would focus on. Our neighborhood has homes in the $2Ms, so I knew I needed someone with an elegant and modern aesthetic. Madison delivered flawlessly. Would use her again in a heartbeat!

Claire H. · Charlotte, NC
★★★★★

Madison was great to work with. Her schedule worked out well with outs and the turnaround time was very quick. We kept in constant communication and she was very willing to redo shots if needed. I definitely would recommend her and if I ever need a photographer in the area she will be my first contact.

Melissa P. · Wilmington, NC

Questions

Good to know before you book.

How should I prepare my home?

You'll get a prep guide after booking. Clean stainless steel, glass and windows, and dust surfaces for the best results.

What if the weather is bad?

I don't shoot in rain or severe weather, and weather reschedules are free. Overcast skies are fine, and finished photos come with a blue-sky guarantee.

What's your cancellation policy?

You get one free reschedule up to 24 hours before your shoot. Same-day cancellations are charged the full session fee.

Where do you travel, and is there a fee?

I'm based in Raleigh and serve all of North Carolina, with travel fees from $0 to $250. I also take out-of-state bookings by inquiry, so reach out with your property's location and dates.

Can you photograph neighborhood amenities?

Yes, with permission. Pools, gyms and other HOA amenities may be restricted, and can only be photographed when empty.

How long does a shoot take?

About 1.5 hours for a standard 3-bed, 2-bath home. Floor plans add about 15 minutes, virtual tours 15–45 minutes and drone 8–30 minutes.

How and when will I get my photos?

Photos arrive in an online gallery, usually within 1–2 business days, where you can download web or full-quality files, share with clients and pay. Larger properties and design, drone, twilight or virtual staging orders may take longer.

What makes you different?

Custom order forms built for vacation rental hosts, and honest, MLS-compliant retouching: lawn fixes and cleanup only, never removing fixed features of the home.
