REAL ESTATE PHOTOGRAPHY

YOUR REAL ESTATE PHOTOGRAPHY PACKAGE

Thank you so much for booking your real estate photography session with Halle Cottis Photography! Be sure to download my free photoshoot prep guide so that your listing shines online and sells faster! I’m excited to help showcase your listing in the best light and provide you with high-quality images that get results.

Before your scheduled session, please ensure the property is clean, decluttered, and photo-ready. I recommend turning on all lights, opening blinds, and removing personal items or clutter that might distract from the home’s features. If you’d like a quick prep checklist, just let me know!

If the property has a gate code, lockbox, or any special access instructions, I kindly ask that you send those details at least 24 hours before the shoot. This helps ensure a smooth and on-time session.

On shoot day, you do not need to be present—unless you’d like to be! As long as I have access to the property, I can take care of everything. Sessions typically take between 30 to 90 minutes depending on the package and size of the home.

Your edited images will be delivered within 24–48 business hours via a private online gallery. You’ll receive both MLS-optimized and high-resolution versions that are ready to use for all your marketing needs.

All images are licensed specifically for marketing the sale or rental of the photographed property, including MLS, your website, social media, and print marketing. If additional parties such as stagers, builders, or designers wish to use the images, separate licensing can be arranged.

If you have any questions or need to make changes to your session, feel free to reach out at halle@hallecottisphotography.com or text me at 727-348-9884.

I’m so glad you’re here, and I can’t wait to help your listing stand out!

REFERRAL PROGRAM 

Friends & Colleagues Referral Program 

The best compliment any client can ever give me is to tell their friends and colleagues about their experience. In order to show my appreciation, I’ve created a referral program with you in mind.

Every time you refer a friend or colleague and they book a branding session, I’ll give you a $100 credit towards your next session! Refer two friends who book and get $200 off your next session. Refer 3, $300 and so forth….Refer 5 friends or colleague’s and your next session is 100% on us! It’s my way of saying thank you for helping me grow my small business.

Just simply have them mention your name in the questionnaire when booking that you referred them and I'll apply a $100 credit towards your next session.  How cool is that?

So thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me spread the word! I appreciate you!
