Image Guidelines

Please read these Image Guidelines & review examples below to maximize the quality of your order:

  • Upload or take a photo of your house during daylight

  • Use a smartphone or high-quality camera

    • Optional: Mount on a tripod to avoid any shaking/blurriness

  • Close garage doors

  • Remove any cars from the driveway and/or front of the house

  • Hide unwanted items in the photo (trash cans, bicycles, basketball nets, garden hoses, etc.). If these are unavoidable, please include multiple photos of the house and provide an address so I may view the house from Google Maps/Apple Maps and remove the unwanted object(s).

  • Photos front-facing and centering the house are always a safe bet. You are encouraged to include at least one of these in your image submission but feel free to experiment with different angles. I also provide free image feedback if you are unsure.

  • Images from real estate websites (e.g., Zillow) and Google Maps are also accepted.

  • Remember these are guidelines, not rules! Try and fulfill as many as possible, and I will take care of the rest.

Great Photo

  • Front-facing and centered — good call!

  • Picture quality is very clear

  • No cars in the driveway

  • Photo taken during the day with few shadows on the actual house

  • This would make a great 11” x 14” painting! Check out this photo as a painting here

Not-So-Great Photo

  • The house is covered by a tree

  • People are in the picture

  • Garbage and recycling are on the boulevard
