Do you offer brokerage / team rates?
+
Yes. If you're a team or brokerage with 4+ agents who each want recurring content, we'll build a custom retainer. Per-agent cost drops significantly. Reach out and we'll quote.
What do retainer clients get beyond the package?
+
Welcome Day Kit on month one — the full $400 Lifestyle Headshot package (25 photos), one-time onboarding gift so the retainer starts with a fresh image library.
15% off any à la carte work — that's listing media or any extra branding beyond what's already in your retainer. Plus priority booking and turnaround. Discount applied automatically — no codes, no asking.
What's your payment policy?
+
Spiro handles checkout when you book. Retainers run monthly with a 3-month minimum commitment for new clients. Weekly invoicing is available for proven clients only — three-plus completed shoots, paid on time, every time.

Process
How far in advance should I book?
+
3-day minimum lead time on all standard bookings. Need it inside 72 hours? Possible — $50 rush fee applies. Retainer clients get scripts 3–4 days before each shoot date.
Do I need to be there for a listing shoot?
+
Ideal: lockbox access, nobody at the property. Second best: agent meets the photographer briefly, then leaves before the shoot starts. Empty + lockbox = fastest turnaround, lowest stress, sharpest work. Occupied homes work too — sellers stay in one room out of the way.
What should the home look like before you arrive?
+
Decluttered, blinds open, lights on, surfaces clean. Vehicles off the driveway and street if possible. Pets contained or removed. Full Getting Ready Guide auto-sent on booking — includes staging, video shoot prep, vehicle/pet handling, and what we will and won't move on the as-is clause.

+

2–5 business days. Brand Day deliverables —
7–10 business days for the full package. Rush turnaround is available for an additional fee.

Who owns the content?
+
You get full usage rights for marketing the listing or building your personal brand. We retain copyright and the right to use the work in our portfolio and on social. If you need exclusive licensing, we'll write that into the contract.
Locations & Travel
What areas do you cover?
+
All of Hampton Roads — Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Portsmouth, Hampton, Newport News, Williamsburg. Anywhere within 30 miles of Virginia Beach is included in the base rate.
Do you travel?
+
Yes. Outside of Hampton Roads, we charge a small travel fee for mileage and time. For projects in Richmond, Outer Banks, or DC metro, ask for a quote. For luxury work, we'll go anywhere the project warrants.
Can you fly drones over my property?
+
Yes — we're FAA Part 107 licensed. We check airspace restrictions before every shoot. Some properties near airports or military bases require an authorization request, which we handle. Just give us 48 hours of notice.
Other
What gear do you shoot with?
+
Photo — Sony A7S III and Canon RP. Video — Sony A7S III on gimbal. Drone — DJI Air 3. Lighting — full continuous LED kit. We invest in the tools because the work shows it.
Do you work with non-real-estate clients?
+
Builders and developers — yes, often. New construction listings and builder portfolios are some of our best work. Other real-estate-adjacent categories — interior designers, architects — case by case. Outside that lane, we keep the focus tight.
What if the weather's bad on shoot day?
+
We'll reschedule if the weather actively hurts the work — heavy rain, dangerous wind, no usable light. Light overcast or drizzle? We shoot. Indoor work continues regardless. Reschedules due to weather don't cost you anything.
What's your cancellation policy?
+
Cancel 48+ hours before the shoot — full refund. Less than 48 hours — deposit retained. Same-day cancellation — full session fee. Reschedules with 24+ hour notice are free, no questions asked.
