What Real Estate Photography Costs in North Texas

A useful photography quote tells you what will be captured, how many finished images you will receive, when they arrive, and which costs sit outside the package. The starting price alone cannot tell you whether two quotes cover the same work.

For an agent planning a listing in Dallas, McKinney, Frisco, Plano, Allen, or Prosper, begin with the property size and the buyer questions the media needs to answer. Then compare the complete scope. This guide explains FLM’s published pricing and the practical questions to ask any provider.

Start with the home’s size and required coverage

A compact home and a large estate need different coverage. Tell the photographer the living area, important rooms, exterior features, and any detached structures before choosing a package. A pool, guest house, acreage, or several buildings can change the production scope.

Photo count matters, but more images are not automatically more useful. The set should explain the entry, main living spaces, kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, and relevant exterior features without repeating nearly identical views. Add coverage for spaces a buyer would reasonably want to see.

FLM photography-only prices

Our current residential photography tiers are:

• Up to 2,000 sq ft: $189 for 25 HDR images.
• 2,001–3,500 sq ft: $219 for 35 HDR images.
• 3,501–4,500 sq ft: $289 for 45 HDR images.
• 4,501–5,500 sq ft: $359 for 60 HDR images.
• Above 5,500 sq ft: custom quote and image count.

Photography includes MLS-ready delivery. Standard Enhancement includes sky replacement, grass greening, clean lines, TV screen filling, and fireplace flames where applicable. These edits do not replace physical preparation: FLM does not clean, declutter, or move furniture at the appointment.

Photography-only service does not include drone photos. Five Drone Photos can be added to a scheduled property shoot for $89, or you can choose a bundle that includes aerial coverage.

What the three bundles include

Bundle tiers cover homes up to 3,500 sq ft, 3,501–4,500 sq ft, and 4,501–5,500 sq ft. Properties above 5,500 sq ft, multiple structures, and nonstandard production needs require a custom quote.

• Essential Media: $259 / $329 / $399. Includes 35 / 45 / 60 HDR photos by size, two digital twilight images, five drone photos, sky replacements, and next-day delivery.
• Cinematic Pro: $499 / $599 / $699. Includes 45 / 55 / 65 HDR photos, two digital twilight images, Full Aerial Coverage, a 2–3 minute cinematic walkthrough, and professional color grading.
• The Ultimate Suite: $799 / $899 / $999. Includes 50 / 60 / 70 HDR photos, two digital twilight images, a Zillow 3D Home tour and 2D floor plan, a cinematic walkthrough, ten drone photos plus aerial video, and a vertical social Reel.

Choose Essential Media when photography and aerial stills cover the marketing plan. Choose Cinematic Pro when motion and a walkthrough have a clear job. The Ultimate Suite also supplies the layout, self-guided tour, and social assets. Compare the complete FLM packages and individual services rather than adding items that your bundle already contains.

Include tax, travel, and special requirements in the total

Listed FLM prices exclude Texas sales tax of 8.25% and applicable travel fees. Travel is included within 30 one-way driving miles of McKinney. The travel fee is $50 for 31–50 miles and $75 for 51–75 miles. Properties beyond 75 miles require a custom quote.

Provide the exact address, property size, access instructions, and requested extras when booking. A city name alone does not determine driving distance. If the property has additional structures or a special production requirement, establish the scope before the appointment.

Check delivery and the payment sequence

FLM photos and video are delivered the next day, including weekends. Floor plans are also delivered next day; Zillow 3D tours typically take 48–72 hours. Complex projects or substantial add-ons can require additional time under the stated service terms.

No upfront payment or card is required to book. You receive the finished files and download access before payment. Under the current terms, full cleared payment activates the media usage license; access to files by itself does not authorize publication. This distinction lets you review the work while keeping the publishing step clear.

Know which rescheduling rule applies

Rescheduling is free when requested at least 24 hours before the appointment. Same-day cancellations are subject to a $49 fee; no-show or inaccessible-property appointments may be billed up to the full service amount. Review the current terms when planning access.

Weather-related safety decisions are separate. If rain, high winds, or other conditions make exterior or drone work unsafe, the affected work is rescheduled at no additional charge. Drone rescheduling is subject to reasonable practicability. Cloudy-day photography may receive a complimentary sky replacement when appropriate.
