What to Expect From an Interior Photography Session
Investing in professional interior photography is one of the best ways to showcase your space in its best light— literally. Whether you’re an interior designer, architect, builder, or a brand with a beautifully designed space, high-quality photos can elevate your portfolio, marketing materials, and online presence.
At Lightbulb League, we capture interiors with a keen eye for detail, lighting, and composition, ensuring that every shot reflects the style and story of the space. If you’re considering booking an interior photography session with us, here’s what you can expect from start to finish.
Pre-Shoot Planning & Consultation
Before we even pick up the camera, we’ll discuss your goals for the session. Are you looking for portfolio images, website content, social media visuals, or press-ready photos? We’ll also talk about the key features of the space, the time of day that provides the best lighting, and any styling adjustments needed to make the shots as impactful as possible.
Styling & Preparation
Great interior photography starts with thoughtful styling. While we don’t offer full staging services, we’ll provide guidance on decluttering, arranging furniture, and adding finishing touches like fresh flowers, neatly placed books, or soft textiles to create a polished look. If you have a stylist on hand, we’ll work together to make sure the space is picture-perfect.
The Photography Process
On the day of the shoot, we’ll arrive with professional camera equipment, tripods, and lighting tools to capture the space in its best form. We’ll take a mix of wide shots, detail shots, and creative angles to highlight the textures, lighting, and overall ambiance. Depending on the size of the space and the number of rooms, a session can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a full day.
Post-Processing & Editing
After the shoot, we carefully edit each image to enhance the lighting, color balance, and sharpness while maintaining a natural and realistic look. This step ensures that your interiors are represented accurately and beautifully.
Final Image Delivery
Your final, high-resolution images will be delivered in an easy-to-access online gallery. Depending on your needs, we can provide versions optimized for web use, social media, and print.
How to Make the Most of Your Images
Once you have your final images, it’s time to put them to work! Interior photography is a valuable investment, and we encourage clients to use the images for:
• Portfolio updates to attract new clients
• Social media marketing (Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, etc.)
• Website enhancements to showcase your expertise
• Press features for design publications
• Marketing materials such as brochures and presentations
