Pierre Galant Photography
Photographers in Santa Monica, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 December 2014
“I have hired Pierre for several of my real estate listings that needed a premiere-quality photos. The pictures he took blew me away. The homes were already nice, but Pierre's pictures made them look absolutely amazing! I immediately got increased traffic to this listing and many visit requests. I especially loved the "twilight pictures", which Pierre took right before the sun went down and made the exterior of the home look really high-end. I truly believe that Pierre's pictures sold these homes! Thank you!”
Erika Bierman Photography
Photographers in Santa Monica, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 March 2012
“Erika is a magician with her camera. I have done several shoots with her and the pictures are always better than I expected. Shooting interiors is not an easy job. It takes a highly skilled photographer to understand light, angles and scale. Erika is a master at this, she nails the shot every time. She is so easy to work with, professional and works 8 hours straight without missing a beat. She's dedicated to the shoot and works hard. Additionally, she is so pleasant and easy going. I always look forward to my photoshoots with Erika, she makes my rooms shine.”

When you're selling your Santa Monica, CA home, quality photos are of utmost importance. As home buyers swipe through hundreds of photos, you want yours to stand out for all the right reasons.

What Is a Home Photographer?


A photographer focussed on architecture and interior design is specially trained to make your home look its best. If you are a design professional — an architect, an interior designer or a contractor, for example — consider hiring a photographer to capture your work to enhance your portfolio, and to attract and engage new clients. They understand what buyers and renters are looking for, and they have the equipment and editing skills to fulfil those expectations.

Professional home photographers vary quite widely in the services that they offer. Some photographers include home styling in their rate, some include editing and some want to come prior to the shoot date to set up shots. Others will not offer these services unless asked or will charge an additional rate. Make sure you ask the photographer beforehand what is included in the cost. If he or she does not offer everything you need, you might want to consider reaching out to other professionals to get the best finished product. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of photographers: Home Stylists and Property Staging, Interior Designers & Decorators, Architects, Real Estate Agents.

Before you call any potential photographers, make sure they have good references. Friends who've sold or rented homes before are great resources, as are local real estate agents. Look through each California photographer's online portfolio to make sure what you're looking for is being offered. Once you've done that, it's a good idea to walk around your home and write down exactly how many and what types of shots you'll need. Include any specifications you might have, such as angles, things to consider about your home’s Santa Monica, CA site, the time of day you think will be best and aspects of your home you want to highlight.

Questions to ask a home photographer:


  • Is photo editing included in your rate?
  • How long will it take for you to provide the photos?
  • Do you do home staging?
  • What happens if I don't like the first round of photos?
  • Do you offer consultations prior to the shoot?
