Shooting Ocean Beach

Cottages, patios and the sunset.

Ocean Beach guests are not booking a resort. They are booking a cottage with a patio, a short walk to Newport Avenue, the dog beach and the pier. The photos should read relaxed and real, not staged.

The light here is the sell. Sunset Cliffs is a few blocks away and the whole neighborhood glows late in the day. Exteriors and outdoor spaces are scheduled for that window, interiors earlier while the rooms are bright.

Many OB rentals are older buildings with character. Original wood, tile and garden patios are photographed as features, with straight lines and true color so the charm reads as charm and not as neglect.

Questions

Do you photograph pet-friendly features?
Yes. If the rental is pet-friendly, the yard, gate and walk to Dog Beach get their own frames, because that is the filter those guests use.
How much does Airbnb photography cost in Ocean Beach?
A flat $325 for rentals up to 2,500 sq ft in Ocean Beach, with next-day delivery and no minimum property size. Drone aerials add $150 and virtual staging is $35 per photo. Over 2,500 sq ft is a custom quote based on property size and scope.
How fast is delivery?
The edited gallery is delivered the day after the shoot, cropped for Airbnb and VRBO cards with the strongest frame first.
Do I need to be there?
No. Most hosts send a lockbox or smart lock code. The place should be cleaned and staged the way a guest would find it.
Do you shoot amenities and the neighborhood?
Yes. Every sleeping space, bathrooms, outdoor areas and the amenities guests filter for are covered, plus a few frames of what is walkable from the door.
Can I use the photos on VRBO, Booking.com and my own site?
Yes. Full rights are included, so the same gallery works on every platform and on a direct booking site.
