Specialized Airbnb Photographer in Richmond and Central Virginia

Getting a specialized Airbnb photographer will help you compete with the best and fill your calendar with high-paying guests.

(read Airbnb Photography story below)

The Airbnb pictured above looked like an average home—until the owner chose us as a professional Airbnb photographer to create a set of striking interior and exterior photos that attracted guests like magnets.

Soon this home rocketed to the top of other area homes and outperformed Airdna's estimated revenue by 40%!

A year later and this short term rental still has a perfect 5.0 star rating and is outperforming every other STR in it's neighborhood.

Bottom line and important question: If choosing a professional Airbnb photographer to get pictures of your Airbnb could help your home earn $30,000 more than the competition in the first year, is that photography a good investment?

"Henry is an absolute gem! From start to finish, he was prompt, professional, and incredibly communicative. His response time is unmatched—literally felt like 99%—and I always knew what to expect leading up to the shoot.

When it came time to photograph my loft, Henry captured every detail with such precision and care. The photos were absolutely stunning and highlighted the unique features of the space in a way that truly made it stand out.

What really set him apart, though, was his personality and insight. He brought so much value based on his own experience working with properties, and he listened actively to what I wanted—even though I didn’t need to give him any direction at all. He was kind, polite, and even took the time to compliment the design work I put into the unit, which meant a lot.

Henry didn’t just take pictures—he elevated my listing. I’m beyond impressed and grateful. He has a forever client in me. Highly, highly recommend!"

Whats Included in Every Specialized Airbnb Photoshoot

AIRBNB INTERIOR PICTURES

Editorial-style interior pictures of every room of your Airbnb that make the potential guest feel your space and fully experience the design. This will include a mix of wide photos of entire rooms and photos highlighting certain areas and amenities within your Airbnb.

AIRBNB DETAIL PICTURES

These photos will highlight specific details and features within your Airbnb such as those perfectly arranged items on a bookcase, the beautiful set of knives in the kitchen, or that cozy basket of throws in the corner of the living room. Detail pictures are an essential part of every professional Airbnb photoshoot we do.

AIRBNB AMENITY PICTURES

Your hot tub, cool coffee bar, toy corner, record player, or arcade games should have close up photos all to themselves. These are the pictures that show guests what special activities and options they'll have at your Airbnb that are missing from the others.

EXTERIOR AIRBNB PICTURES

It's essential to show your homes exterior and surroundings in the best possible light. Exterior photos will be focused on tying the whole property together and inviting the guest to click to see more.

HOST PORTRAIT

Guests see your profile picture every time they scroll through your listing. Having a profile picture that makes you look professional, caring, and warm is key to inspiring trust in you as a host and leading the guest toward booking your property.

If you'll be on site during the photoshoot, you can opt to get a professional portrait taken in or outside of your space at no extra charge. You can use this anywhere you want, from your Airbnb profile to other social profiles online.

AIRBNB PHOTO GUIDE

You'll get a PDF guide showing you how to arrange the photos in your listing to keep prospective guests engaged and to boost your listing in Airbnb's algorithm. This guide is based on what we believe to be the best initial arrangement for your new photos in your Airbnb listing.

ONE-DAY DELIVERY

Get your completed gallery of pictures by the end of the following business day after your photoshoot. This helps you get your listing up quickly so you can start getting the bookings you've been dreaming of. Pictures from some add-ons such as Twilight Pictures or Floor Plan may require up to a week of time.

Optional Airbnb Photography Add-Ons

AIRBNB TWILIGHT PICTURES

If your Airbnb has large windows, cozy exterior lighting, an outdoor movie setup, or a fire pit—getting genuine twilight photos will make your listing stand out and get clicks. These amenities are designed to be used and look good at night. If you don't show these off in your photos that's a significant missed opportunity. Twilight photos usually require a separate trip to the property around sunset to get the best lighting.

DETAILED FLOOR PLAN

Including a floor plan showing the layout of your home and the rooms helps the guest understand how they, and their friends or family, can enjoy the space. Having a floor plan helps reduce guests questions about the layout and gives them confidence that they fully understand the layout of the space. These floor plans show layouts and approximate measurements of the space.

AIRBNB AERIAL PICTURES

Guests always want to know your home's proximity to area attractions such as downtown, the mountains, a lake, or other property amenities. Being able to show guests how close the home is to attractions or giving them a better understanding of a property's layout increases confidence and helps guests move toward booking. Twilight Aerial pictures are included in the twilight picture add-on. 

MATTERPORT 3D TOUR

Include this 3D tour on your website or share a QR code to it in your Airbnb listing photos so that guests can show themselves through the space virtually.

Henry took pictures of my home and they were exceptional! He’s very professional and his communication is top-notch. He delivered the pictures within 24 hours as promised. I recommend Henry without any hesitations and would hire him again.

Henry was awesome! He was able to work around my busy schedule to get the pictures taken. He was able to return the pictures same day which was extremely convenient. You won't be disappointed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Does Airbnb Photography Cost?

The total cost to hire a professional Airbnb photographer such as me to get the pictures you need is usually between $300 and $900 depending on the size of home, the options you choose, and the location of the home. Send us a message for a quote for your specific property.

Is Real Estate Photography and Airbnb Photography Different?

Yes. Most real estate photographers have no experience as Airbnb hosts and do not understand the type of photos required to stand out and get booked. They are typically only experienced getting pictures designed to sell a for-sale home. A professional Airbnb or Short Term Rental photographer will take pictures that are designed to highlight the experience for a guest in the home, rather than highlighting just the structural features and layout of a home.

Can I hire a photographer through Airbnb?

While Airbnb technically gives you the option to have them source a photographer, they only compensate photographers enough to get a minimal set of pictures (2-3 pictures per room) and only pay enough to make it worth it for newer, inexperienced photographers to work for them. Airbnb's compensation structure for photographers guarantees that they will have amateur photographers working for them and gives you no control over who actually takes your pictures.

Do You Travel for Airbnb Photoshoots?

Yes. While I'm based in Richmond Virginia, I've had the privilege of working with photography clients both across the USA and in many countries abroad.

Do You Offer Discounts for Multiple Homes?

Yes. If you have multiple Airbnbs or Short Term Rentals that I can shoot the same day, we can offer 10% off each property.

How Soon Will I Get My Edited Airbnb Photos?

You will receive your custom gallery of Airbnb photos by the end of the following business day after your photoshoot, so you can start getting bookings right away.
