Here is a checklist to be sure that you are well prepared for your upcoming photo session.
– remove personal items that you would be concerned about if enlarged for viewers to see. (Walls, shelves or mantles, including family photos, diplomas, and other items with your identities.)
– have fresh, folded towels in bathrooms
– no clutter on bathroom counters, shelves, sink and kitchen counters
– remove loose toothbrushes, hairbrushes, cosmetics, etc from bathroom for the photo shoot
– all toilet seats down
– all trash cans emptied and no visible trash can liners over the edges of the trash cans
– clean all countertops, bureau tops and any shelves that need attention
– walk the front of your house and curbs surrounding your house and remove any trash that may have blown around so that we have nice street photos
– make sure that all of your exterior trash is in barrels with lids closed. They should be out of site, if possible
– pets should be caged or placed in the basement until they can be let upstairs so that they do not wander and get in photos or trip the photographer because he needs to stay focused on his work and may not notice pets in his path
– all beds should be made and the house should be ready for the photo shoot at least an hour before the scheduled time
What to expect:
– we may move some things to get the best photos, but will do our best to put them back correctly
– we will probably adjust blinds or drapes and may open doors or windows
– the photographer may get there early to get a start on the outside
– we may access the house up to an hour before the photo shoot to make last minute adjustments
If possible, it is best if you are not home during the photo shoot. It will go faster and avoid having you appear in the background by mistake. If you absolutely must remain at home, please let us know.
Please make sure that any pet dogs are not loose outside beginning 45 minutes prior to your scheduled photo shoot.
If there is anything that we should know or anything that we should not touch or open, please tell both the GBHT team member and the photographer
A GBHT team member will be there for the photo shoot.
As always, please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
