Tips for Taking a Good House Photo

Please Note:

Low Detail House Portraits – Send 1-3 photos.

High Detail House Portraits – Feel free to send additional detail photos of doors, landscaping (I can always make plants ‘bloom’), architectural details, lamps, flowerpots, etc. Remember to consider kids & pets.

Photo Tips:

Consider the following if you need to find photos or take photos–it’s as easy as aiming your camera, iPad or phone! I will need high-resolution photos.

  • Stand back to compose the house as you want it to appear in your House Portrait. When choosing an angle, try to minimize garage doors. Do include front & side doors.
  • Remember: I can eliminate telephone poles, move trees, trim hedges…just take any detail photos I will need.
  • Hold your camera as horizontal as possible. The sides of the house should be parallel to the sides of the photograph.
  • A sunny day is nice as I’ll see shadows your house creates. A cloudy day is OK too–it may allow you to get more detail in the photo. Either way, please don’t point your camera into the sun!
  • I’ve been doing this for years, so feel free to give me a call & we can figure this out together!
  • Email your photos to me at: kathleenmcnallyart@gmail.com
