Property coverage

A useful rental gallery helps guests understand the layout, sleeping spaces, amenities and arrival experience. We plan a cover image and supporting photographs around the features of your property.

Balanced light, straight verticals and accurate color keep interiors clear without misrepresenting the space. Wide room views are paired with details that explain what is included.

Photography is one part of a listing. Pricing, location, availability and reviews also influence bookings; a photo shoot does not guarantee a specific occupancy or revenue increase.

Airbnb photography FAQ

How much does Airbnb photography cost in San Diego?

The $325 standard package covers one property up to 2,500 sq. ft., with planning, photography, standard editing and digital delivery. Your official quote confirms the shot list, finished-image count, revision allowance, turnaround and usage. Larger properties, extra coverage, travel and advanced retouching are quoted separately.

How fast will I get my photos?

Select photography services offer 48-hour delivery. Your quote confirms the actual deadline; rush delivery is available only by prior agreement.

Do you stage the property?

Light styling and tidying guidance is included. Before the shoot you receive a prep checklist covering beds, counters, lighting, and clutter, and on site small adjustments are made so every room photographs at its best.

Your finished gallery follows the agreed shot list, with image count, delivery and usage confirmed in your quote. High-resolution and web-ready files are included.

Do the photos work for VRBO and Booking.com too?

Yes. Tell me which listings and websites you use so the quote can cover the required file formats and marketing license. Usage follows the agreed quote and client terms.

Do you photograph ADUs, guest houses and casitas?

Yes. We plan the spaces and amenities available to guests. Standard single-property coverage is $325 up to 2,500 sq. ft.; multiple units, shared amenities and extra coverage are quoted separately.

Can you add drone aerials to a rental shoot?

Yes, where a flight is feasible. Aerial photography is $150 on the same visit or $199 standalone; video is separate. The address, guest activity, permissions and conditions are reviewed first, with coverage and edited-image count confirmed in your quote.

Do you shoot twilight photos for short-term rentals?

Coverage and timing are confirmed before booking. Twilight photography is planned around the light and quoted using the photography rates. Final pricing depends on project scope and location; contact Kanyon Studio for a quote.

How should I prep the rental before you arrive?

You get a prep checklist ahead of the shoot covering beds, counters, blinds and clutter, and small adjustments happen on site. If you want to work ahead, the Airbnb photography guide and the listing prep guide cover what makes the biggest difference on camera.
