How should I prepare the home?

We provide a free 'Pre-Shoot Checklist' PDF you can send to your sellers. Generally: clear counters, hide garbage cans, turn on all lights, and open blinds.

Do you charge travel fees?

We do not charge travel fees for listings within the standard Twin Cities metro area. A small fee may apply for listings outside our primary service zone (e.g., Rochester, St. Cloud).

Can you remove items from photos?

We can digitally remove small temporary items (like a forgotten towel or car in the driveway) for a small fee. We cannot remove permanent fixtures like power lines or hydrants per MLS rules.

What is the difference between Standard and HDR?

Standard photography uses a single flash, often resulting in dark windows or unnatural shadows. Our HDR process blends 5 exposures to capture natural light, crisp window views, and true colors.

How are the photos delivered?

You will receive an email with a link to a dedicated property website and download center. You can download high-res (print) and MLS-optimized (web) versions instantly.

Do you offer virtual staging?

Yes! We can virtually stage empty rooms with realistic furniture and decor. This helps buyers visualize the potential of the space and is much cheaper than physical staging.

Q: Do I own the rights to the photos?

You receive a license to use the photos for all marketing purposes related to the sale of the listing. You can post them on MLS, Zillow, social media, and print materials.

The Cineminn Standard

Software HDR vs. hand-blended HDR.

Most real estate “HDR” is auto-merged in software — you can spot it from the radioactive saturation, the haloing around rooflines, and windows that read as flat white panels. Cineminn shoots 5 manual exposures per frame and hand-blends them in PixlMob. The result reads as the way the room actually looks at 11 AM — balanced light, true colors, windows you can see through. Architecture-magazine standard, on every shoot.
