FAQ - Reaves Media
Answer:
I provide full-service real estate and architectural media, including professional listing photography, cinematic real estate video, drone/aerial coverage, twilight sessions, interior and design photography, agent branding sessions, headshots, and lifestyle portraits.
Whether it’s a luxury listing or a personal brand shoot, everything is created with a refined, editorial approach.
Answer
Because presentation shapes perception — and perception impacts value.
Professional lighting, intentional composition, and cinematic movement create emotional connection. My goal isn’t just to document a space or person, but to position it in a way that feels elevated, polished, and memorable.
Answer
I’m based in Alabama and primarily serve Montgomery, Lake Martin, Auburn, Birmingham, and surrounding markets.
I’m also available for travel, especially for interior design and architectural-focused projects.
Answer
I recommend booking 3–5 days in advance when possible.
Real estate moves quickly, though — and I can often accommodate shorter notice depending on availability.
Answer
It depends on the property or session type.
• Listing photography: 45–90 minutes
• Photo + video + drone: 2–4 hours
• Larger or luxury listings: 4–5+ hours
• Portraits / branding sessions: typically 1–2 hours
I don’t rush projects — I work with intention to ensure everything feels thoughtfully captured.

Answer
Pricing is based on square footage, property complexity, and selected services.
For portraits and branding work, pricing reflects session time, creative direction, and editing scope.
Custom quotes are available for larger estates, developments, and interior design projects.
Answer
Preparation makes a significant difference.
I recommend:
• Decluttering surfaces
• Turning on all lights
• Opening blinds for natural light
• Removing personal items
• Light staging where needed
