The Shot List
What we build into a short-term rental gallery
The goal is not simply to generate more photos. Every frame should answer a question a potential guest has before booking.
01
The cover image
We look for the frame with the strongest immediate reason to stay: view, pool, architecture, living space or outdoor setting.
02
Every guest-accessible room
Bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, kitchens and shared spaces receive clear coverage so guests understand the full property.
03
Sleeping arrangements
Beds, bunks, sofa beds and bedroom relationships are shown clearly rather than buried behind decorative close-ups.
04
Amenities
Pools, hot tubs, fire pits, games, workspaces, gyms, decks, balconies, parking and outdoor dining deserve their own frames.
05
Lifestyle details
Smaller photographs give the gallery rhythm: coffee stations, textiles, lighting, hospitality touches and design details.
06
Exterior and context
Guests should understand the arrival, building exterior, outdoor space, and when it matters, the view or immediate setting.
Pricing
Airbnb Photography Packages and Pricing
Vacation rental photography includes more detail, amenity and lifestyle coverage than a standard MLS shoot because the gallery needs to market the stay, not only the building.

Airbnb and Vacation Rental Portfolio
A useful rental gallery alternates between scale and detail: enough wide coverage to understand the property, followed by tighter frames that show guests what is memorable about staying there.

Platform Ready
Built for how Airbnb and VRBO display photography
The photographs need to work inside search cards, mobile crops, room-by-room galleries and the platforms guests actually use when deciding where to stay.
Horizontal first
The primary gallery is built around horizontal compositions so rooms remain clear in search cards, galleries and mobile presentation.
High-resolution delivery
We deliver professionally edited, high-resolution files so hosts are not forced to stretch small images across modern booking platforms.
Room-by-room coverage
Complete room coverage matters more than twenty slight variations of the same living room. Guests should be able to understand every meaningful space.
VRBO-ready too
The same session can cover Airbnb, VRBO and direct-booking websites, giving property managers a consistent image library across multiple channels.
How It Works
From photo-ready property to finished gallery
Send the property
Book online or send us the address, property size and the amenities that matter most to the listing.
Prepare the stay
Have the home cleaned, beds finished, exterior spaces opened and guest-facing amenities ready exactly as a guest should find them.
We photograph
Most Airbnb sessions take roughly one to two hours. We work systematically through the property, then return for details and amenity frames.
Gallery delivery
Finished photographs are professionally edited and normally delivered within 24 to 48 hours.
A Different Brief
Airbnb vs. Real Estate Photography. What Changes.
A property being sold and a property being booked ask the camera to do different jobs.
Our Los Angeles real estate photography is built to document layout, architecture, condition, and scale for a buyer. An Airbnb gallery still needs to explain the property, but it also has to sell the experience of staying there.
That means the coffee setup matters. The pool furniture matters. The view from the bed matters. So does whether six people can actually sit outside, how the kitchen connects to the dining area, and whether the bedroom feels calm rather than simply large.
Per Airbnb's guidelines, we shoot wide enough to make the layout understandable, but not so wide that a guest arrives and feels the property was misrepresented.
Real Estate Listing
Sell the property
Layout, architecture, condition, square footage and the physical relationship between rooms.
Airbnb / VRBO Listing
Sell the stay
Comfort, atmosphere, sleeping arrangements, amenities, outdoor spaces and the moments a guest is paying to experience.
Our Approach
Do both without exaggerating either
Clean architectural frames establish the property. Lifestyle and detail frames give the gallery personality.
Los Angeles Coverage
Vacation rental photography across Los Angeles County
A hillside stay, Venice bungalow and Downtown apartment do not need the same photography. Architecture, light, views, common areas and guest expectations change substantially across LA.
Westside, coast and South Bay
The outdoor areas and immediate environment often carry as much booking value as the interiors.
Venice · Marina del Rey · Santa Monica · Playa del Rey · Manhattan Beach · Hermosa Beach · Redondo Beach
Hollywood and the hills
View properties require tighter scheduling around haze, exterior light, decks and the cityscape.
Hollywood Hills · West Hollywood · Los Feliz · Silver Lake · Laurel Canyon · Studio City
Central Los Angeles
Condos, apartments and urban rentals depend heavily on accurate room scale, building amenities and thoughtful interiors.
Fairfax · Mid-Wilshire · Hancock Park · Beverly Grove · Beverly Hills · Downtown Los Angeles
Westside inland and greater LA
From smaller bungalows to modern multifamily properties, the emphasis changes with architecture and guest profile.
Culver City · Mar Vista · Palms · Pasadena · Glendale · Burbank · Encino

Airbnb Photography FAQs
House of Pix Airbnb photography starts at $400. Our Premium package starts at $525 and adds a 3D floor plan. Our Luxury package starts at $1,050 and adds flash architectural photography, drone photography and a real twilight session. Final pricing can change for unusually large properties, compounds or multiple units.
Real estate photography is primarily designed to help a buyer understand the architecture, condition, and layout of a home. Airbnb photography has an additional job: helping a guest imagine staying there.
We therefore spend more time on amenities, sleeping areas, outdoor spaces, and lifestyle details while still keeping the architecture accurate. If the property is being sold instead of rented, see our Los Angeles real estate photography service.
We deliver professionally edited high-resolution files and compose the primary gallery horizontally, which works well across search cards, mobile galleries and booking platforms.
There is no single ideal number for every property. A studio apartment should not be padded with repetitive frames, while a large home with a pool, game room and several bedrooms needs substantially more coverage.
Our rule is simple: every guest-accessible room and meaningful amenity should be clearly represented, without filling the gallery with near-duplicates.
Yes. Airbnb, VRBO and direct-booking properties can generally use the same professional photography session. We focus on clear, high-resolution coverage of bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas, exteriors and the amenities guests are choosing between.
We can make small on-site adjustments to improve a composition, such as straightening furniture, removing minor visual clutter or adjusting decorative items. The property should still be cleaned, staged and substantially photo-ready before we arrive.
Yes. For vacation rentals, amenities are often part of the product rather than optional coverage. Pools, hot tubs, roof decks, patios, game rooms, gyms, parking, workspaces and views should be photographed when they materially affect the stay.
Yes. Drone photography is especially useful for hillside, coastal, and larger properties where the setting is difficult to understand from ground level. Real twilight works well for pools, landscape lighting, decks, and homes where the exterior experience is a major booking feature.
Review our dedicated Los Angeles drone photography and twilight photography services.
Airbnb photography is normally delivered within 24 to 48 hours. Larger projects, real twilight photography and video may require additional production time.
We photograph Airbnb and vacation rental properties throughout Los Angeles County, including Hollywood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Culver City, Venice, Marina del Rey, Santa Monica, Downtown Los Angeles, Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Pasadena, the Valley and the South Bay.
