Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 19, 2014
“Susan Gilmore is the best! When we need to photograph special projects, we head to Susan and her crew of talented team members. They are always a joy to work with, dedicated to customer satisfaction, very attentive to detail (we love!), and always delivering stunning results.”
Drew Gray Photography
Local Photographers in Forest Lake
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 29, 2014
“Drew was very professional and very prepared for the job. He arrived at the site early to assess lighting and proper conditions. The photos were lovely. I could tell he truly wanted to get the absolute best out of each of them. I am thoroughly pleased with his work. He conducted himself in a personable, yet appropriately professional manner. I would most definitely hire him again should the opportunity present itself.”

Wiese Photo
Local Photographers in Forest Lake
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 26, 2013
“We have worked with John for many years now. He has photographed several of our landscape projects throughout the Twin Cities. He is very professional and dependable and pays great attention to detail and his finished product. We would highly recommend John as a photographer.”
Graddy Photography
Local Photographers in Forest Lake
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 16, 2017
“If anyone could endorse Graddy Photography it would be me. I met this dynamic duo almost 10 years ago. Their professionalism, photographic skills, creativity, generosity, determination and friendliness blew me away from the start. I began recommending them to my wedding clients immediately resulting in dozens of very happy brides, grooms and their parents. Now I work for myself and they are always at the top of my list when I need someone to photograph, videotape or market a wonderful (or demanding) client. Their numerous awards in the industry speak for themselves, but from someone who knows them personally and professionally, I can tell you they are the best of the best.”
Spacecrafting / Architectural Photography
Local Photographers in Forest Lake
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 9, 2013
“Mike and his team at SPACECRAFTING do incredible work for us so often we have just come to expect excellence and we are never disappointed. They go the extra mile to display our homes in a creative and "story-telling" fashion and it helps us sell them for top $$. They charge plenty for what the deliver, and it is worth it every time. All accomplished in short timelines and with respect. Thanks to your entire team. -Don”

LandMark Photography
Local Photographers in Forest Lake
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 5, 2013
“We have worked with LandMark Photography extensively over the past five years. They have shot the majority of photos that are featured on our website and on Houzz.com. The quality of images, service, and fair pricing that they offer is second to none in our opinion. Plus, they are just fun people to work with, which is always an added bonus. If you are looking for high quality photography for any purpose, I would highly recommend using LandMark Photography. We've had nothing but great experiences. John R. Kraemer John Kraemer & Sons, Inc.”

If you're thinking of selling or renting your Forest Lake, MN 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 Minnesota 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 Forest Lake, MN 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?
