What Sets Me Apart
🏁A no-rush, personalized approach. I don’t race through homes. I take the time to find the best compositions, perfect the lighting, and ensure nothing is overlooked. My low-volume, high-quality approach means you get a more thoughtful session and personalized service — no rushed, point-and-shoot mentality here. The result: images that feel intentional, polished, and complete.
🖼️Photography that strengthens your brand. Beautiful, consistent imagery not only helps sell listings—it elevates your professional image. High-end photos show potential clients you invest in quality marketing, making it easier to attract new listings and stand out in a competitive market.
👁️A trained eye and true passion for the craft. I’m a formally trained photographer with a degree in photography and a deep passion for the art. That means you’re not hiring just a camera operator — you’re working with someone who sees and captures spaces with intention, creativity, and technical skill.
💎Precision-crafted images, handled start to finish by Mike. Each photo is carefully composed, exposed, and refined with intention. Rather than a one-size-fits-all process, every image is evaluated and finished as needed using a blend of advanced techniques in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. The result is clean, natural-looking images with clarity, depth, and balance — delivered with consistency across every listing.
Why Quality Matters
Quality Images Attract More Than Just Buyers –
- In a market flooded with rushed, cookie-cutter photography, I take a different approach — one that’s designed not just to sell a home, but to elevate your premium personal brand.
- When your listings consistently look better than the competition, clients notice. So do other sellers. Luxury-grade images not only showcase the property — they reflect the care, professionalism, and attention you bring to every transaction.
- High-quality photos build trust, attract higher-value clients, and strengthen your reputation in the marketplace. They signal that you invest in your business — and that you’ll invest in theirs.
- Because great photography doesn’t just market the listing. It markets you.
What Makes a Quality Real Estate Image
- A quality real estate image doesn’t just show a space—it elevates it. It invites the viewer in, highlights the property’s best features, and presents the home in its most flattering light. True quality comes from a combination of expert composition, thoughtful lighting, and post-production finesse.
- Each image should be well-balanced in tone and color, free of harsh shadows or blown highlights. Lines should be straight, angles intentional, and rooms staged with purpose. But most importantly, a quality image captures the mood and character of a space—whether it’s cozy, modern, or grand.
- High-end editing brings it all together. Custom exposure blending, color correction, and subtle retouching help create images that feel polished and professional without looking artificial. The result? Visuals that not only sell properties, but also elevate your brand.

Behind the Process
At Four Six Photography, quality isn’t a setting — it’s a standard. Every photo is the result of a careful, deliberate process designed to bring out the best in every space. I don’t outsource or rush. From setup to final edit, I’m hands-on every step of the way.
- Thoughtful Capture: I take time on site to find the strongest compositions and angles. No guesswork, no rushing — just attention to detail that respects the home’s story.
- Handcrafted Editing: Images are individually exposure-blended and refined by Mike using Adobe product and a Wacom tablet for precision and control.
- Consistent Style: My editing maintains natural tones and clean lines, creating a polished and consistent look across your brand.

Before The Shoot
Easy Steps To Complete Before I Arrive
- Confirm the homeowner's prep list is done
- Check that all lights are on, ceiling fans are off, blinds are adjusted and look consistent
- Please do a final check making sure the property is clear of clutter and trash cans and other distractions are hidden
- Make sure cars are not in the driveway or parked in front of the home
- "For Sale" yard sign should not be installed until after the session
- Lockbox should be removed from door if already installed
- Hide people and secure pets - an empty house works best
- Do not schedule other vendors during the shoot

How Many Images?
Sometimes less is more.
You only pay for the images you need. Read below.
How Image Counts Work
Booking Fee (minimum) → $175 ($225 for a Signature session) secures your session and covers up to 20 images.
Additional Images → If more images are needed, the balance is billed and due before delivery.
Client Control → You can set a maximum image count at booking if you’d like.
- If you want total certainty before the shoot, just email, text, or message Mike the listing address for a custom image estimate. You can relax knowing your listing will be photographed fully and carefully, completely eliminating the worry of overpaying or dealing with refunds.
- Most of my regular clients prefer to let me determine the perfect image count on-site to showcase the property best. To make scheduling easy for new clients, you can secure your shoot with a $175 Base Booking Fee ($225 for Signature.)
- If you have a strict marketing budget, you can set a maximum image cap before the shoot. If the property requires more images to capture it fully, the additional shots are simply billed prior to final image delivery.

Flexible listing support for weather challenges, seasonal updates, renovations, and evolving marketing needs.
Real estate listings don’t always follow a perfect timeline. These services are designed to help keep your marketing images current, polished, and ready for changing conditions before, during, or after a property is listed.

Info YOU NEED TO KNOW
46 FAQ's & POLICIES
FAQs
Some common questions are listed below. Contact me if your question isn't listed.
Every session includes a set of fully edited, MLS-ready images. The number of photos depends on the property’s size and details, but I always aim to capture the complete story of the home.
Photos are delivered within 48 hours of your session (end time plus travel.) You’ll receive a private download link with images suitable for both MLS and print. (Images can also be uploaded to your platform.)
If poor weather (usually only heavy rain) affects exterior photography, we can either reschedule (no fee) or capture the interiors first and return for exteriors (two fees) when conditions improve. I keep it flexible so your listing still looks its best. Remember, we make grey skies blue.
Pricing is based on number of images delivered and any addon services you choose. A full pricing guide is available on my website, or I can provide a custom quote for unique properties.
I understand things happen. If you need to reschedule, please give me as much notice as possible. (Fees may be billed for late cancellations. See Policy section. Weather-related (heavy rain, snow storm, etc.) reschedules are always flexible and at no extra cost.
Booking is simple. You can schedule online through my booking page or reach out directly by email or text. I’ll confirm the date and details with you so everything is set.
I recommend scheduling one week or more in advance to secure your preferred time, but I’ll always do my best to accommodate last-minute requests when possible.
A clean, clutter-free home photographs best. Lights on, blinds open, counters cleared, and personal items tucked away. Here’s a prep checklist to help you out. View / Download / Print – Homeowner Checklist Agent Checklist
It’s best if people and pets are not present during the photo session. Even when they try to stay out of the way, they often end up in the background of shots or create extra distractions. Pets especially can add movement and commotion that make it harder to work efficiently. Another important factor is floor vibration. Some of my images require long exposures, and even normal walking can cause blur that is not noticeable until after the session. For the smoothest results and the highest-quality images, I recommend that the home be clear during photography.
Most homes take about 60–90 minutes to photograph, depending on size and features. Larger or luxury properties may take longer to cover thoroughly.
Sure, here’s a short list:
- $175 non-refundable booking fee required
- Cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours ahead to avoid fees
- Email/text communication only
- Home must be fully photo-ready on arrival
- No people, pets, or movement during the shoot
- No other vendors on site
- Delays may shorten the session or delay delivery
- Weather postponements only for severe conditions
- 48-hour image delivery
- Listing-only usage license; copyright retained
No-rush photography means I don’t rush through a home just to check off rooms. Every image is thoughtfully composed with attention to angles, balance, and detail so each space is shown at its best. I take the time needed to light a home properly, using a blend of multiple ambient and flash exposures, carefully placed flash, and custom lighting when needed. The result is accurate, natural, and flattering light that represents the home honestly – without harsh shadows or blown highlights. No standing in the corner and point-and-click here; each image is built with intention.
While some photographers settle for “good enough for real estate,” I don’t. Every home is photographed with care and intention so your listing stands out in any market. I don’t rush sessions or cut corners. My goal is to deliver the highest possible image quality every time, never something that is simply acceptable. Quality is the standard, not an upgrade.
To keep communication clear and efficient, I handle all client communication through text, email, or messaging. This approach allows me to stay focused on delivering great work and gives both of us a clear written record of all details. I’ve found that written communication helps prevent misunderstandings and keeps scheduling, services, and expectations on track. It also makes it easier to respond thoughtfully and consistently, so nothing important gets missed.

Top Ten Photography Policies & Expectations
Prepare for your session → View Full Policy Guide PDF
(Before & During the Shoot)
1. Booking, Payment & Cancellation
A $175 / $225 non-refundable initial payment reserves your date. Cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours in advance to avoid fees. Any remaining balance is due before image delivery.
2. Communication
All communication is handled by email or text only (no live calls) to ensure clear, documented expectations and avoid misunderstandings.
3. Property Access & Readiness
The home must be fully photo-ready upon arrival—cleaned, staged, powered, and accessible. Photography begins as scheduled, not when the home becomes ready.
4. People, Pets & Movement
Pets must be secured and people kept completely out of view during the session. Movement inside the home can cause motion blur, floor vibration, and misaligned bracketed exposures, reducing image quality.
5. Solo Sessions Only
No other vendors or service providers may be on site during photography. This includes video, drone, stagers, painters, cleaners, contractors, or utilities.
(Timing, Delivery & Usage)
6. Time Respect
Sessions are conducted without rush, but delays caused by readiness issues, people, pets, or other vendors may shorten the shoot or delay image delivery.
7. Weather Discretion
Sessions are postponed only for severe weather or government-issued travel restrictions. Interior photography may proceed even if exterior conditions are unfavorable.
8. Right of Refusal
The photographer may refuse service—and retain a portion of the fee—if conditions are unsafe, unsanitary, inaccessible, or the property is not photo-ready.
9. Delivery Timeline
Final edited images are delivered within 48 business hours. A detailed delivery schedule is available on the Pricing page.
10. Image Usage & Copyright
Images are licensed for marketing the active listing only. Copyright remains with the photographer. Any reuse, editing by others, sharing with third parties, or non-listing use requires a separate license.
