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.

Auburn, Placer County
Why Auburn listings need real estate photography done right.
Auburn real estate photography means handling Old Town Auburn, Skyridge, Lake of the Pines (adjacent), and the inventory in each looks materially different on camera.
Auburn sits in the Sierra foothills, which means the light is harder, the shadows are deeper, and the air is clearer than the valley floor. Twilight here is shorter and more saturated, particularly in the cooler months. Wildfire-season smoke can flatten the sky from late summer through early fall. Auburn State Recreation Area and the adjacent character of Bowman are part of what makes Auburn distinct from neighboring markets and what lets the right photographer differentiate a listing from the dozens of phone-shot competitors in the same MLS feed.
Standard package delivers a minimum of thirty edited photos with fast turnaround. Premium add-ons (aerial, twilight, virtual staging) bundle with the photo package at STEFDPHOTO's transparent pricing.

The work, in Auburn
How STEFDPHOTO shoots Auburn.
STEFDPHOTO's Auburn workflow allocates more time per shoot than the regional average. A typical Old Town listing or Skyridge view home runs a longer capture window, often with a twilight return for hero exteriors. Aerial coverage is a default add-on for any view-lot or acreage property and scheduled when the air is clearest (early in the morning during summer fire season, or after a winter storm clears in the cooler months). The drive is roughly forty minutes from central Sacramento, so Auburn shoots are often scheduled in pairs with Loomis or Lincoln to maximize day efficiency.

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.
