CHRISTOPHER LEE FOTO
Local Photographers in Lake Forest
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 6, 2017
“I hired Christoper to photograph some of my staging projects. He did a fantastic job! His photos are beautiful, the lighting is perfect and the composition is spot on. His photos are shelter magazine quality. If you are a stager, a designer or a real estate agent, Christopher should be on your list for great design and real estate photos.”

Pierre Galant Photography
Local Photographers in Lake Forest
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 3, 2014
“I have hired Pierre for several of my real estate listings that needed a premiere-quality photos. The pictures he took blew me away. The homes were already nice, but Pierre's pictures made them look absolutely amazing! I immediately got increased traffic to this listing and many visit requests. I especially loved the "twilight pictures", which Pierre took right before the sun went down and made the exterior of the home look really high-end. I truly believe that Pierre's pictures sold these homes! Thank you!”

Ryan Rosene Photography
Local Photographers in Lake Forest
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 26, 2016
“I have worked with many architectural photographers over the years and found that Ryan is among some of the best I have worked with. I found him very accommodating and easy to work with both schedule wise and artistically. He was open to collaboration with regards to creative angles and lighting to get the best possible photos of the rooms. He was punctual and got the finished photos to me on time and on budget. I would definitely use him to photograph the next project I finish.”

Izumi Tanaka Photography
Local Photographers in Lake Forest
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 18, 2012
“Izumi does great work! She has a great sense of composition and light. She is very easy to work with and open to your ideas. I plan on using her for all of my photographic projects. By the way, she works digitally, so you see the shots on her lap top as you go, so there are no surprises.”
Erika Bierman Photography
Local Photographers in Lake Forest
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 19, 2012
“Erika is a magician with her camera. I have done several shoots with her and the pictures are always better than I expected. Shooting interiors is not an easy job. It takes a highly skilled photographer to understand light, angles and scale. Erika is a master at this, she nails the shot every time. She is so easy to work with, professional and works 8 hours straight without missing a beat. She's dedicated to the shoot and works hard. Additionally, she is so pleasant and easy going. I always look forward to my photoshoots with Erika, she makes my rooms shine.”

If you're thinking of selling or renting your Lake Forest, CA house, hiring a home photographer can make a big difference between making money and just breaking even. Think about when you look at photos of homes online: If the lighting is terrible, the quality is poor and the listing provides very few photos, don't you subconsciously associate these bad qualities with the homeowner or renter? A home photographer helps with those challenges.

What Is a Home Photographer?


A home photographer is trained to make your home look its best. If you are a design professional — an architect, an interior designer or a contractor, for example — consider hiring a photographer to capture your work to enhance your portfolio, and to attract and engage new clients. They understand what buyers and renters are looking for, and they have the equipment and editing skills to fulfill those expectations.

Professional home photographers vary quite widely in the services that they offer. Some photographers include home staging in their rate, some include editing and some want to come prior to the shoot date to set up shots. Others will not offer these services unless asked or will charge an additional rate. Make sure you ask the photographer beforehand what is included in the cost. If he or she does not offer everything you need, you might want to consider reaching out to other professionals to get the best finished product. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of photographers: Home Stagers, Interior Designers & Decorators, Architects & Building Designers, Real Estate Agents.

Before you call any potential photographers, make sure they have good references. Friends who've sold or rented homes before are great resources, as are local real estate agents. Look through each California photographer's online portfolio to make sure what you're looking for is being offered. Once you've done that, it's a good idea to walk around your home and write down exactly how many and what types of shots you'll need. Include any specifications you might have, such as angles, things to consider about your home’s Lake Forest, CA site, the time of day you think will be best and aspects of your home you want to highlight.

Questions to ask a home photographer:


  • Is photo editing included in your rate?
  • How long will it take for you to provide the photos?
  • Do you do home staging?
  • What happens if I don't like the first round of photos?
  • Do you offer consultations prior to the shoot?
