If there are a lot of kid’s toys that have to be put away, we under that you can’t put them all away at once. The idea is to put them all in one room before the photographer gets there. A room off to the side somewhere not visible from other rooms. And then we can shoot that room last.
Remember this is our one shot to make an “”open house”” that hundreds of people are going to see and look at every day. let’s make yours the best looking on the internet!
