How much does real estate photography cost in Austin?

Listing photo packages start around $250–$450, photo-plus-video packages run $900–$1,800 depending on square footage and whether drone aerials are included, and luxury property films with immersive tours typically start around $2,000.

What is the turnaround time?

Delivery dates are agreed when you book, based on the package and your list date. Rush delivery can be scheduled in advance for an expedite fee.

Is drone footage included in the price?

Aerials are included in the Listing Plus and Signature packages and can be added to Listing Essentials, subject to airspace rules around Austin.

Do you shoot twilight photos?

Yes. We offer both true twilight sessions scheduled at golden hour and sky-replacement edits on the hero exterior, which is the faster and less weather-dependent option.

Do I own the images and video?

You receive a broad marketing license to use the media for the listing, your brand channels, and paid promotion. We retain copyright and the right to show the work in our portfolio.

What areas do you cover?

Austin and the surrounding metro — Downtown, East Austin, Westlake, Lake Travis, Round Rock, Dripping Springs, and Georgetown. Travel beyond the metro is quoted per project.

What drives the number

Five things that change your quote

Square footage and room count

Pricing scales with the number of spaces that need lighting and composition. A 1,800 sq ft home shoots in about 90 minutes; a 6,000 sq ft estate with a casita, pool deck, and finished basement is a half-day.

Deliverables, not just shooting time

Most of the cost sits in post — HDR blending, lens and perspective correction, color matching between rooms, window pulls, and cutdowns for each platform. More deliverables means more edit hours.

Aerials and airspace

Drone work is quoted per property because much of Austin sits inside controlled airspace and needs FAA authorization, which occasionally shifts the shoot window.

Immersive and 360° add-ons

Virtual tours and 360° capture use different bodies and a slower, tripod-based workflow. They are priced as an add-on to a stills or film package rather than sold alone.

Turnaround

Delivery dates are agreed at booking based on the package and the listing timeline. Rush delivery can be scoped in advance and is priced as an expedite.
