and surrounding areas.

Clear leaves from paths and decks. Keep house numbers visible and let the photographer know about views, landscaping or outdoor spaces you want included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Living areas:<\/strong> Remove loose cables, remotes, laundry and everyday clutter. Straighten cushions and rugs, wipe tables and leave clear paths between rooms. A few intentional accessories can help a room feel welcoming without covering its usable surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/section><section class=\"prep-section\" id=\"prep-2\"><div class=\"prep-number\">02<\/div><div><h2>Prepare kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kitchen:<\/strong> Clean counters, the sink and appliance fronts. Put away dishes, drying racks, cleaning products and excess countertop appliances. Remove magnets and papers from the refrigerator. Leave a small amount of simple decor if it suits the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bedrooms:<\/strong> Make beds, straighten bedding and clear bedside tables. Put clothing, charging cables and personal items out of view. Check mirrors for smudges and clear floor space around the bed so the layout is easy to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bathrooms:<\/strong> Clean glass and mirrors, close toilet lids, hang towels neatly and put away toiletries, bath mats and cleaning supplies. Check what is reflected in mirrors before the photographer arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/section><section class=\"prep-section\" id=\"prep-3\"><div class=\"prep-number\">03<\/div><div><h2>Plan for Portland weather and natural light<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rain, wet surfaces and changing light can affect exterior and aerial photography. Before the shoot, discuss weather-sensitive services and any scheduling questions with David. Do not assume every part of a media package can be captured under the same conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clean accessible windows and open blinds or curtains to show the available daylight and views. Tell the photographer which rooms or outdoor areas receive the light you want to highlight. Leave final lighting and window-covering adjustments to the shoot rather than trying to make every room look identical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/section><section class=\"prep-section\" id=\"prep-4\"><div class=\"prep-number\">04<\/div><div><h2>Make access and movement easy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Confirm entry instructions, parking and any building-access requirements when booking. Tell the photographer about occupied units, restricted rooms or areas requiring an escort. Arrange for pets to stay safely out of the shooting areas and keep people from moving through rooms during photos, video or a 3D tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Put away valuables, private documents, visible passwords and family photographs you do not want included. Decide where moved items will stay for the appointment so clutter does not simply shift into the next room being photographed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/section><section class=\"prep-section\" id=\"prep-5\"><div class=\"prep-number\">05<\/div><div><h2>Choose the media that fits the property<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Interior and exterior photographs show the property\u2019s rooms and features. Drone photographs add context about the setting, while a 3D tour helps viewers explore how spaces connect. Floor plans support an understanding of the layout; listing videos provide a moving introduction to the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cascade Property Media offers these services along with twilight photography and virtual staging. Review <a href=\"https:\/\/cascadepropertymedia.com\/?page_id=74\">current packages, inclusions and delivery times<\/a> before booking. Confirm timing for each selected service, especially when combining photos, tours and video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/section><section class=\"prep-section\" id=\"prep-6\"><div class=\"prep-number\">06<\/div><div><h2>Questions to settle before your shoot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What should I send when booking?<\/strong> Share the property address, approximate size, requested services, preferred date and access instructions. Mention any features that deserve particular attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Should preparation be complete before the appointment?<\/strong> Aim to have cleaning, decluttering and furniture arrangement finished. If the property will still be occupied or work is underway, discuss that before the shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can photography replace cleaning or repairs?<\/strong> Prepare the property itself for presentation. Discuss specific editing requests in advance instead of assuming photos will conceal unfinished work or property conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/section><section class=\"prep-section\" id=\"prep-7\"><div class=\"prep-number\">07<\/div><div><h2>Book your property photography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For your next Portland-area listing, <a href=\"https:\/\/cascadepropertymedia.com\/?page_id=206\">contact Cascade Property Media<\/a> or <a href=\"tel:+15416120144\">call (541) 612-0144<\/a>.
