Pricing questions

What people ask before they book.

How much does real estate photography cost in Sacramento?
STEFDPHOTO's real estate photography starts at $200 for a Basic ambient-light HDR shoot and $300 for the recommended Premium flash and HDR composite shoot. Both include a minimum of 30 edited, MLS-ready photos, and the final price scales with square footage. The same rates apply across Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Yolo, and Nevada Counties.
How much does a real estate video tour cost?
Real estate video tours start at $450. Each is a 4K, music-matched cinematic walkthrough edited for MLS, web, and social, and delivers within a few business days. Video is usually shot the same day as the photo package.
How much does drone or aerial photography cost for a listing?
Aerial photo and 4K aerial video coverage starts at $75, as an add-on to a photo package or as a standalone deliverable.
How much is twilight real estate photography?
Twilight exteriors start at $150. Exposures are layered across the real post-sunset window, with optional sky replacement when the weather does not cooperate. A virtual twilight, which converts a daylight exterior in post, is $25 per image.
How much does virtual staging cost?
Virtual staging is $25 per image, with photoreal furniture and decor added to empty rooms. If existing items need to be virtually removed first, add $10 per image. Turnaround is 24 to 72 hours per image.
Do you charge a travel fee?
Travel is included within 40 miles of STEFDPHOTO's Sacramento base, which covers most of the metro. Addresses 40 to 49 miles out add a flat $75, and addresses 50 miles or more are billed at $2 per mile. The travel fee is always on the quote before booking, never added at delivery. Every city coverage page states its exact tier.
What is included in the base price?
Every shoot includes HDR capture on all interiors, hand editing and color grading, files sized for both MLS and print, a private online gallery with no download expiry, and a reshoot if weather or conditions outside anyone's control ruined the result. Anything beyond that is itemized on the quote.
How do I get an exact price for my shoot?
Request a quote at stefdphoto.com/quote-request with the address and square footage, and STEFDPHOTO returns an exact number the same day, usually within an hour during business hours. You can also book a confirmed date at stefdphoto.com/book or call (916) 757-3402.
Are there discounts for real estate agents who book regularly?
Recurring and volume bookings can adjust travel terms, and agents, builders, and dealerships each have a program page describing how repeat work is handled. Exact terms are set on the quote.

Could not have been happier with the final product. Stefan's photos show cohesion with superb lighting. His photos paint a story and that's exactly what I was looking for. He knows which angle to take the shot, and makes sure each photo compliments its space. The price is very competitive and his professionalism is much appreciated. I highly recommend.

What a breath of fresh air Stefan is! A true professional. Always on time, seems to go anywhere I need him to, and always makes the homes he photographs for me look amazing. Started out using him for headshots, but now I will utilize his services for everything. You owe it to yourself to check him out. You will not be disappointed.

We've been using Stefan exclusively for a long time now. He's punctual, reasonably priced and the quality of his photographs are outstanding. We specialize in homes on acreage and homes with views and he's always able to capture the essence of these special properties. Our clients love his work and the results speak for themselves with hundreds of sold homes.

Working with Stefan is always a pleasure from start to finish. I cannot say enough good things. Communication from the beginning, to timeliness, not to mention fitting me in literally whenever I need him. He says 24 hour turnaround but often I have my photos back sooner, which means everything when putting up a listing. His photos are always edited so nicely and my clients have had so many good things to say about his photos and videos. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

Stefan is an amazing photographer. Not only does he make every project look high end but he is also very kind and professional. I had a home I remodeled featured in a prominent publication and I know the only reason is because of the amazing photos he took.

Stefan does an excellent job with his photography. I can always count on him to produce beautiful, bright, artistic shots. He is reliable, well priced, and fun to work with. I use him for real estate photos and videography, but his skills could extend to many areas of photography. I would highly recommend him.
