Where we're not the lowest price
We'd rather tell you than have you find out.
Video and 3D tours for larger homes take hours to capture and edit by hand. We price them to do that well, not to rush them.
Exteriors-only is $100, and several providers charge $75, because it takes the same drive and setup as a full shoot.

How we checked
Pricing as of November 2026. On November 3, 2026, we read the public pricing pages of 16 real estate photography and media providers serving the Twin Cities metro. Going rate is the middle published price among the providers that publish a comparable one, not a high outlier. We compared each size tier at a representative home (for example, 2,500 sq ft for the 2,000–3,000 tier). We left out "starting at" prices, package-only prices and services that aren't alike. Other providers' prices can change, and some offer discounts or bundles we can't see, so treat this as a snapshot. We review it every six months.
Price comparison questions
What's included with every shoot?
As many photos as the home needs, edited by hand and sized for the MLS, Zillow, and social. They land by the next morning, with blue skies guaranteed in every photo that has sky. You also get a branded property website and an MLS-friendly one, with a QR code. The full list is on Services & Pricing.
How fast will I get everything?
Edited photos are in your inbox by the next morning. Need them today? Add same-day delivery for $75 when you book. Video and floor plans arrive within 24 hours, and a 3D tour comes with the photos.
Is there a limit on how many photos I get?
No. We take as many as it takes to tell the home's story. A lot of Twin Cities packages stop around 20 to 40 photos. We don't. The portfolio shows what that looks like on a real house.
Do you charge a fee to reschedule or cancel?
No fee, ever. You can move the appointment from your original confirmation, with no need to wait on us. If the weather turns or the seller needs another day, we'll help.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is free within 35 miles of central Minneapolis–St. Paul, then $1 per mile one way. Most of the metro, and a lot of the St. Croix Valley, is on us.
What about bigger homes and luxury listings?
They get the same care, just more of it. Over 5,000 square feet, ask for a quote and we'll send a price before you book. Video from 4,000 square feet is $400, plus $75 per additional 1,000. 3D tours are $295 from 4,000 square feet up.
Why do you publish your prices?
So you can plan the listing before you write to us. Every price is on Services & Pricing, by finished square footage. This page shows how those prices sat next to other published Twin Cities prices in November 2026.
How did you calculate typical, and how often is it updated?
Going rate is the middle published price among Twin Cities providers that post a comparable one, not a cherry-picked high number. On November 3, 2026 we read 16 public price pages, and we review this page every six months. Other prices can change, and some bundles never show up online, so treat it as a snapshot. The notes are in how we checked.
Do you offer team or volume pricing?
Ready when your listing is. book online and we'll take it from there.
