Professional Airbnb photography, built to hospitality spec. We have shot for Airbnb directly across more than 100 units. Whole unit, amenities, and exterior, delivered in 24 hours. Listing the same unit on Vrbo, Booking.com, or your own direct-booking site? One shoot covers every platform. We publish our pricing, so you know the cost before you call. We cover New York City and Baltimore.
Named as a top real estate photography company on Peerspace and Giggster. Shot for Airbnb directly across more than 100 units.
Potential guests searching Airbnb see a grid of cover photos before they read a single description. They tap the listings that look bright, clean, and accurate, and they scroll past the dark phone shots. The cover photo and the first few listing photos carry most of the booking decision, and a host has seconds to win the click.
Professional photos do two things for a short-term rental. They raise the click-through on the Airbnb listing, which feeds the platform ranking and puts the unit in front of more potential guests. And they support a stronger nightly rate, because a unit that reads as well kept and well represented justifies its price. The cost of a shoot is recovered across the bookings it earns, not against a single night.
Short-term rentals are usually small, lived-in spaces with mixed light: a window blowing out on one side, a warm lamp on the other, and a ceiling fixture in between. A single exposure cannot hold all of it. HDR merges several exposures into one frame with even light, accurate color, and corrected geometry, so a studio reads as bright and a one-bedroom reads true to its size. Baltimore-area hosts have a dedicated page for Baltimore Airbnb photography.
We process every frame through a five-stage HDR workflow. The result is a set of images that match the unit a guest actually arrives to, which is what keeps reviews honest and cancellations low. We shoot the full property with no minimum image count, so the listing has enough frames to tell the whole story.
Most real estate photographers shoot the occasional rental between sales listings. We have photographed more than 100 Airbnb units directly, which means the shot list is already known before we arrive. We shoot the whole unit, the working amenities a guest screens for, and the exterior or building entrance that helps them find the door.
Short-term rental photography is its own discipline. A sales listing sells a layout to a buyer. A rental listing sells a stay to a guest, so we capture the rooms the way a host needs them: the kitchen has to look usable, the bed has to look comfortable, the bath has to look clean, and the workspace, the coffee setup, and the amenities all have to be in the set. That experience is the difference between a unit that fills its calendar and one that sits.
Living areas, kitchen, every bedroom, and every bath in HDR. We shoot the full unit with no minimum image count, so the listing has enough frames to set guest expectations correctly. The photos are yours to use for as long as you host, on Airbnb, Vrbo, or your own site.
The coffee setup, the workspace, the laundry, the patio, the pool, and the details a guest screens for. The amenities are part of the sell, so they are part of the set.
The building entrance, the street, or the exterior that helps a guest recognize the place on arrival. Useful for self check-in units where the door is the first thing a guest needs to find. One twilight image of the exterior comes with every shoot.
The full edited set delivered 24 hours from the shoot in one link, sized for Airbnb, Vrbo, and direct-booking sites. A rush option is available for same-day turnaround when the schedule allows.
An owner with a single unit and a property manager with thirty get the same standard and the same delivery window. There are no photo minimums and no per-listing contracts. Send one address or send the whole list, and we schedule the units in sequence so a manager runs one delivery workflow across the entire book.
A short term rental is rarely listed on one site. Most hosts run the same unit across Vrbo, Booking.com, and Airbnb, and the smart ones also sell direct to skip the platform fees. Each channel sizes and crops images differently, so we deliver one set that holds up on all of them. The cover frame that wins the click on Airbnb is the same frame that earns more guests on Vrbo and converts on a host's own page. That is one shoot marketing the property across every platform, whether you list one unit or a whole book of vacation rentals.
An interactive tour reduces cancellations and mismatched expectations by showing the real layout. Six months of hosting included. From $300.

View video walkthroughs →Photos win the click. A 360 virtual tour wins the booking. When a guest can walk the unit room to room before they reserve, they arrive with accurate expectations, which means fewer cancellations and fewer disappointed reviews. A short video walkthrough does similar work on social media and direct-booking sites where motion holds attention.
Guests who tour a unit virtually are more likely to complete a booking. We bundle photography with a 360 virtual tour or a walkthrough so one shoot markets the unit across every channel a host sells on.
A host in New York works with Colin, who operates out of Brooklyn and covers all five boroughs. A host in Baltimore works with Willis, who runs the Maryland side and covers the city and the surrounding counties. Either way the shoot is run by the operator who shows up, not a rotating roster of subcontractors, which is how the HDR standard stays the same across every unit.
Most photographers hide their pricing behind a contact form. Ours is below. Airbnb photos keep booking nights for as long as the unit is listed, which is why they cost more than photos for a home sale. The Airbnb and short-term rental rate starts at $400 per unit and scales with interior square footage, and every shoot carries a twilight image and unlimited usage. For a fuller breakdown of what an Airbnb photographer costs, we wrote it up tier by tier, and there is a companion guide on how to photograph a short term rental. Every shoot includes whole-unit HDR coverage with 24 hour delivery. Call or text (701) 566-9171 for portfolios over 5,500 sq ft per unit or multi-unit scheduling.

Airbnb and short-term rental photography starts at $400 per unit for properties up to 1,500 square feet, shot in HDR, the only quality we offer. Pricing scales with interior square footage. Every shoot includes one twilight image of the exterior and unlimited usage of the photos, for as long as you host. A 360 virtual tour add-on starts at $300 and a video walkthrough starts at $150. Our full rate table is published above.
Guests choose a listing from the photos before they read a word of the description. Clear, well-lit images of the full unit raise the click-through on a listing and support a stronger nightly rate. The cover photo and the first few frames carry most of the booking decision, so they are worth shooting to a hospitality standard.
Yes. We have photographed more than 100 Airbnb units directly. We know what a short-term rental listing needs: the whole unit, the kitchen and bath, the sleeping areas, the working amenities, and the exterior or building entrance that helps a guest find the door.
Standard delivery for short-term rental work is 24 hours from the shoot, so a unit can go live or relaunch the next day. A rush add-on is available for same-day turnaround when our schedule allows.
Yes. We shoot single owner-operated units and full portfolios for property managers. There are no photo minimums and no per-listing contracts. Send the addresses and we schedule the units in sequence so a manager gets one delivery workflow across the whole book.
Yes. A 360 virtual tour lets a guest walk the unit before they book, which reduces cancellations and mismatched expectations. A short video walkthrough works for social media and direct-booking sites. Both can be added to the same shoot. See our 360 virtual tours page for detail.
New York City across all five boroughs, and Baltimore including the surrounding counties. Colin operates out of Brooklyn, and Willis runs the Maryland side from Baltimore with a local photographer on the shoot, so a host in either market works with a local operator rather than a subcontractor network.
Two business hours. No phone tag, no discovery call, no sales script.
