How quickly will I receive my photos after the shoot?

We guarantee 24-hour delivery on all standard photography packages, measured from shoot completion to gallery delivery. Photos are delivered via a private online gallery with high-resolution downloads — ready for MLS upload, Zillow, Realtor.com, and social media. Rush same-day delivery is available for time-sensitive listings for an additional fee. In practice, over 85% of galleries are delivered within 16 hours of shoot completion.

Are you FAA certified for drone photography in South Florida?

Yes. All Estate Shutter Florida drone pilots hold FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificates, which is legally required for all commercial drone photography in Florida. We carry full liability insurance and obtain the required FAA LAANC authorizations for controlled airspace near Miami International (MIA), Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL), and Palm Beach International (PBI) airports before every flight.

What areas of South Florida do you serve?

We serve all of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties with no travel fees. Primary markets include Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Coral Gables, Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach, Miami Beach, Hollywood, Doral, Pompano Beach, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Weston, and 20+ additional cities. Travel to the Florida Keys and Naples area is available upon request.

Do I need to be present during the real estate photo shoot?

No — many of our shoots are coordinated directly with property managers or lockbox access. We recommend having someone present to handle access issues and highlight features the agent wants emphasized. We send a preparation checklist 24 hours before every shoot so sellers know exactly how to stage and prepare the property for optimal results.

Lease-up marketing directors run the same shoot every 6-18 months: a new building delivers, the leasing center opens, the model unit is staged, and a 60-90 day lease-up sprint begins. The photo and video assets feed every channel: the property website, ApartmentList / Zillow Rentals / Apartments.com syndication, paid social, organic Instagram, brochure, and the broker email blast.

Below is the complete shot list to hand the photographer before the shoot. Print it, mark up your priorities, and use it as the SOW attachment.

Exterior

Twilight hero (the cover image for the website and brochure)
Daylight straight-on facade (all four sides if free-standing)
Three-quarter hero with surroundings (showing setback, landscaping, and adjacent street life)

Aerial stills — building from 150ft, 300ft, 500ft
Rooftop amenity overview (pool deck, sky lounge, rooftop bar if applicable)
Pool deck from drone at twilight (this is consistently the highest-engagement social asset)
Surrounding neighborhood context (showing transit, schools, retail proximity)

Model Unit (1BR, 2BR, 3BR — each unit type separately)

Standard Model Unit Coverage

Hero living room (anchor compositional shot)
Living room from second angle (showing the depth and a different feature wall)

Specialty Shots If Applicable

Bay window or unique architectural feature
In-unit storage detail (pantry, mudroom, built-ins)

Amenity Deck

Pool Deck

Pool wide (hero — daytime AND twilight if budget allows)
Pool from corner showing cabanas and seating
Hot tub / spa wide
Pool deck dining / grilling area
Cabana detail / staging

Lounges

Resident lounge from a second angle
Co-working / business center wide

Mailroom / package room
Elevator lobby / hallway corridor
Leasing office wide (where prospect signs)
Model unit kitchen for marketing close-up (re-shot specifically for paid social square format)

Lifestyle / Model-Staged Shots (Optional, Higher-Tier)

For higher-end multifamily launches, lifestyle shots with paid models add 15-25% to the budget but materially improve paid social conversion:

Model on pool deck with drink (square format for Instagram)
Couple in lounge area (showing community feel)
Model on rooftop at golden hour (signature aspirational shot)
Resident with dog in dog park
Family in kids' playroom
Resident in co-working space with laptop

If lifestyle shoots are out of budget, the secondary option is to use the leasing center's existing residents (with releases signed) at no additional cost — but coordinate scheduling with the property manager weeks ahead.

Video Deliverables

Most lease-up campaigns need three video deliverables:

90-second cinematic hero reel for the property website hero, paid YouTube, and corporate Instagram
30-second cutdowns (3-5 variants) for paid Facebook / Instagram / TikTok
15-second vertical reels (5-8 variants) for organic social and TikTok-native

Plus optional:

2-3 minute walkthrough tour (model unit + amenity deck) for the leasing team to send to remote prospects
Drone-only 30s reel for organic social
Resident testimonial 60s (post-launch, after first 10 leases) for organic and email

Zillow 3D Tour

Strongly recommended for any building targeting out-of-market or relocating tenants:

Model unit Zillow 3D (one per unit type)
Amenity deck Zillow 3D (pool, lounges, fitness)
Leasing center Zillow 3D (so remote prospects can navigate the experience)

File Delivery and Licensing

Standard lease-up deliverable bundle:

High-res master files (RAW + TIFF + JPEG)
Web-optimized JPEG set (sRGB, 2000px long edge)
Square format crops for Instagram (1:1)

Edited video in 4K master + 1080p web + vertical 9:16
Zillow 3D tour URLs + floor plan PDFs

Licensing should cover full marketing use, paid media, syndication portals (ApartmentList / Zillow / Apartments.com / Rent.com), website, email, social, and post-stabilization use without renewal.

Production Timeline

A typical multifamily lease-up shoot is a 2-3 day production:

Day 1: Exterior, drone, twilight (day timing flexes around blue hour)
Day 2: Model unit and amenity deck (interior, all units)
Day 3: Lifestyle shoots with models (if applicable) and video B-roll

Delivery is typically 7-10 business days for stills, 3-4 weeks for the final video edit.

Budget Range

Florida lease-up campaign all-in budget ranges:

Small / mid-market (60-150 units, no lifestyle): $4,500-$8,500
Mid-luxury (150-300 units with lifestyle): $8,500-$15,500
Luxury / mixed-use (300+ units, full video + Zillow 3D): $15,500-$28,500
Trophy (350+ units, multi-day, full media): $28,500-$45,000

The biggest variance is in lifestyle models, video deliverable count, and Zillow 3D scope.
