Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is the turnaround time?

For standard photography, we guarantee next-day delivery by 9 AM. Video services and complex editing (like virtual staging) may require 24-48 hours.

What about snow/winter weather?

We shoot year-round in Minnesota. Fresh snow looks beautiful! If the weather is dangerous (blizzard), we reschedule for free. Our Blue Sky Guarantee includes winter days—we turn grey skies blue.

What happens if I need to cancel?

We understand real estate is unpredictable. You can cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before your shoot with zero penalty.

Do you offer a Price Match Guarantee?

Yes. We match any local professional competitor's regular published price for comparable services.

Do I own the rights to the photos?

Yes! When you purchase photography from Cineminn, you receive a license to use the photos for all marketing purposes related to the sale of the property.

How should I prepare the home?

We provide a comprehensive "Pre-Shoot Checklist" PDF in your confirmation email that you can forward to your sellers to ensure the home is picture-perfect.

Are your 3D tours Zillow compatible?

Yes. Our Matterport 3D tours integrate directly with Zillow, which often gives your listing a ranking boost in their search algorithm.

Do you service Western WI (Hudson, etc)?

Yes, we service Hudson, River Falls, and surrounding Western Wisconsin areas. A small mileage fee may apply based on distance from St. Paul.

How do I pay?

We have a "Pay to Download" system. You can view watermarked proofs immediately. Once you pay via credit card, the high-resolution files are unlocked instantly.

Can you remove cars from the driveway?

Yes! We can digitally remove cars, garbage cans, and even declutter rooms for a small editing fee per photo.

Minneapolis

Minneapolis is six markets in one zip-code grid.

The North Loop condo buyer and the Linden Hills single-family buyer have nothing in common except a Minneapolis address. The shoot for each one is calibrated differently, priced differently, and scheduled around different photographic constraints. Calling Minneapolis “a market” is the kind of generalization a national photographer makes. We don’t.

The six Minneapolis micro-markets we shoot.

Lake of the Isles + Cedar Lake (55416, 55408). Single-family + condo. Polarizer mandatory for south-facing windows. The lake shows up in 60% of listings; we treat it as part of the architecture.
Linden Hills + Fulton (55410). Walkable urban-suburban hybrid. Mature trees mean light angles matter more than usual. Best shoot times tend to be mid-morning or 3 PM, not noon.
North Loop + Mill District (55401). Loft + condo. The interior is the listing — exterior shots rarely matter past the entryway. Architectural detail framing (exposed brick, timber, beams) dominates the gallery.
Kenwood + Lowry Hill (55403, 55405). Estate-scale single-family, $1.5M–$5M. Same playbook as Edina’s Country Club: 7-bracket HDR, drone reveal, real twilight on $2M+.
Northeast Minneapolis (55413, 55418). Mid-tier urban residential. Faster shoots, Bronze and Gold tier dominant.
Whittier + Lyndale (55408, 55409). Mid-tier urban with growing investor activity. Often multi-property days.

North Loop is the hardest interior to shoot in the metro.

Loft conversions in the North Loop have a specific photographic problem: massive windows on one side of the unit, exposed brick on the other, and an open floor plan that puts both in every frame. Standard HDR can’t handle the dynamic range without crushing the brick or blowing the windows.

Our fix: 7-bracket fusion plus a separate window-pull edit and a brick-tone-recovery pass. The brick reads as warm without being orange, the windows read as windows, and the unit looks like itself.

From the founder

A national photographer treats Minneapolis as a stop on a route. We treat it as five different cities that share a postal code. The agent who books us in the North Loop gets a different shoot than the agent who books us in Linden Hills — same standards, different calibration. That’s the work.

— Julian Lundgren, founder

Minneapolis questions.

Do you shoot lakefront and condo with the same calibration?

No. Lakefront calls for the polarizer + drone + twilight stack. Condo (especially North Loop loft) calls for the 7-bracket window-pull stack. Same photographer, different shoot template. We adjust before the shoot, not in post.

Recommended package for a Lake of the Isles single-family?

Gold + real twilight ($599 + $129) for most. Platinum on $2M+ where the lot reveal warrants extended drone B-roll.

Do you handle volume from a Minneapolis-based investor agent?

Yes. Multi-property days are standard for investor portfolios. Partner pricing kicks in at 8 shoots/month. We have investor-agents running 15+ shoots/month on Partner+ pricing with consolidated billing.
