Real estate photography prices by shoot length

Live prices, anywhere in the US. The market column is what independents and studios charge per hour for the same length, so the comparison is like for like. At 1 hour, All-inclusive costs more than the typical market rate, because Snappr's first hour carries a fixed booking fee. Each added hour costs less than the market's, so from 2 hours it comes in under. Snappr Value is available on your first booking only. For real estate shoots, Value starts at 3 hours.

What that works out to per hour

Travel, setup, editing and delivery cost the same whether a shoot runs one hour or ten. The longer the shoot, the further those fixed costs spread, so the effective hourly rate falls.

Frequently asked questions

Answers before you need them.

How much does real estate photography cost?
Snappr charges $279 for a 2-hour real estate shoot, which is $140 an hour and the same price in every US city. A 15% service fee is added at checkout. Independent photographers and studios charge around $150 an hour for the same work.
How long does a real estate shoot take?
98 minutes on average across 1,626 US bookings in the last year. That is why 2 hours is the length to book: a shoot cannot run for 98 minutes, and of the two lengths either side, the shorter is the one that runs out on the day.
How many photos do I get?
On All-inclusive, every edited photo from the shoot is yours with no per-photo charge, typically about 30 an hour, so roughly 60 from a 2-hour shoot. Image enhancement is included.
What is the shortest real estate shoot I can book?
1 hour, up to 7. Longer shoots cost less per hour, so one long booking beats several short ones.
Does the price change by city?
No. The rate is set nationally, so a real estate shoot costs the same in New York as it does in Akron. The market figures here are US-wide averages, so local photographers may charge more or less. The first hour carries the same booking fee wherever the shoot runs: $29 on Value, $59 on All-inclusive.
