Photos are best taken on sunny days before
10am or after 3pm
Note the direction of the house and sun to
avoid any unwanted shadows
Sweep or blow down all surfaces clean
Make sure the lawn is cut, edges trimmed,
cultivate flower beds that have a “packed” appearance
Arrange any chairs, tables, open umbrellas on the
patio and remove BBQ covers
Clean up any toys or sand boxes
Pavers and walls should be entirely dry and free of any sand
on the surface. If the entire area isn’t dry, wet down the
entire area to make the color consistent
Remove any dead flowers
Check the background of the photo through the camera viewfinder
for any unwanted objects (wheelbarrows, hoses, etc.)
Photos taken from elevations ie; upper decks
improve the overall view
Be sure not to photograph your own shadow
Choose an angle that will enhance the paver pattern and joints
People and pets in photos make photos more interesting
