4. How do I book a shoot?

You can contact us through the website, email chris@chrislaweryphotography.com, or call directly to discuss your project. We’ll confirm your scope, timing, and deliverables, then send a formal quote and agreement before scheduling your session.

Each session includes high-resolution, fully edited images delivered via online gallery. Optional add-ons include twilight photography, drone coverage, video walk-throughs, and floor plans or virtual tours for complete marketing packages.

6. How quickly will I receive my photos?

Turnaround time typically ranges from 2–4 business days, depending on project size. Rush delivery options are available for time-sensitive marketing launches or same-week listings.

7. Can you work around construction schedules or site restrictions?

Absolutely. We frequently coordinate with general contractors, project managers, and architects to ensure safe access and optimal shooting conditions. We can adapt to early-morning, off-hours, or phased-site requirements.

8. Do you offer video and drone packages?

Yes — we offer cinematic video and aerial photography packages, perfect for property tours, project reveals, and social-media marketing. All drone work is performed safely and legally under FAA Part 107 guidelines.

9. What image rights do I receive?

Commercial clients receive full usage rights for marketing, advertising, and online portfolios. Fine-art and editorial licensing is available upon request for broader distribution or resale use.

We’ll provide a pre-shoot checklist covering cleaning, staging, and lighting tips to ensure your property looks its best. Clear driveways, remove clutter, and turn on all lights — we’ll handle the rest.
