Media that books your calendar

Most Hocking Hills short-term rental shoots land between $500 and $1,500. Where a given property lands inside that depends on its size, how far you want to take the look, and whether you add video. Larger lodges, multi-property trips, and full overnight packages with video are quoted individually, and can run above that. The estimator on this page will put your property in a range in about thirty seconds, and a short conversation turns that into a firm number in writing.

Because a price list would be wrong for most of the people reading it. A two-bedroom cabin that needs clean listing photos and a ten-bedroom lodge that wants an overnight shoot with video are genuinely different jobs, and a single published number either overcharges the first or scares off the second. So the range is published honestly, everything that moves it is spelled out on this page, and the exact figure comes after a short conversation about your property. You'll have it in writing before anything is booked, and there's no obligation attached to asking.

Two to three weeks or more is ideal, especially in peak fall and summer seasons. Reach out early and I'll hold a date while we plan the details.

Use the free Shoot-Day Staging Checklist on this site. It walks you through every room and the exterior so your place looks its best on camera.

Image delivery is usually 1–2 weeks, with video typically following about 1–2 weeks after that. Need a specific timeline? Just ask — I'm always happy to discuss scheduling.

Usually the same day. Send the square footage, the bedroom count, and a link to the listing if it's live, and I'll come back with the right tier and a firm price. Most owners have their number within a few hours of reaching out.

Yes, on every tier, weather and airspace permitting. For a Hocking Hills property the setting is a big part of the draw — the ravine, the treeline, how far you are from the next cabin — so aerial coverage is simply part of what a listing needs, not an upsell.

Those styled scenes start at the Showcase tier. Listing is built around the property itself, photographed clean and listing-ready, so its shot list is the spaces and the setting. Showcase adds styled detail shots and light staging, which means arranging what's already in the cabin to warm up a room. When you want scenes brought in and built for you — a fire lit, s'mores kits out, a charcuterie board set — that's Detailed Staging, and it comes included in the Overnight tier. Tell me the look you're after up front and I'll scope the right tier, so nothing slows down on shoot day.

You can add video anytime. That said, photo and video look their best when they're captured in the same visit, with the same light and styling and one cohesive set — and it saves scheduling and paying for a second trip. Most owners book them together for that reason, and it's the cheaper way to get it: added to a shoot, video is a fraction of what a standalone video visit costs, because a trip out for video alone still starts at the $500 minimum.

Yes, with one caveat: every shoot starts at $500. That's the point where the drive, the setup, and a proper session at the property make sense, so a reel on its own books at the minimum rather than its add-on price. Since you're at the minimum either way, most owners put it toward the reel and the full walkthrough together and get both the short vertical cut and the complete tour. And if you're having several properties shot in one visit, they stack toward the minimum, so it's met across the trip rather than at each cabin.

On our Momentum plan and above, yes: 15% off photography and video, and that includes the shoot-day minimum, so your floor is $425 instead of $500. It applies to the shoot itself; licensing and travel are quoted separately as always. Our entry Managed Social plan doesn't carry the discount, and shoots there are billed at standard rates. If you're weighing a plan against a shoot, price them together: on an eligible plan the discount on a single shoot covers a real chunk of your first month.

You do, by holding an open night at your property for the shoot. I arrive in the afternoon for the golden hour and evening light, stay over, and photograph the morning — coffee on the deck and all. Since it's your cabin, there's no lodging cost to pass along. We just pick a date that isn't already booked with guests.

Yes, and it's a meaningful one. Property-management companies and multi-unit hosts get a scoped rate for photographing several properties in one visit, with drone at each and the Portfolio License included — one trip across four cabins costs considerably less per property than four separate bookings. Tell me your property mix and I'll put together a quote.

The included Property Marketing License covers marketing that specific listing, indefinitely. The Portfolio / Brand License extends the images to your wider company marketing, sales decks, and multi-property campaigns. It's included in the Overnight tier and on multi-property bookings, and available as an add-on on a single-property booking.

Yes, well beyond it, including multi-property trips out of state. Travel is included within 30 miles of McArthur, OH; beyond that it's built into the quote at a flat per-mile rate.

We reschedule. Exteriors, twilight, and drone all depend on the sky cooperating, and there's nothing to be gained from shooting a property on the one grey afternoon it looks worst. Rescheduling for weather costs you nothing.
