How to Prepare your Holiday Let for Stress Free Interior Photography

Space and Place - Interior/Exterior Photography for The Drawing Office, Berwick - spot the mistake

The Drawing Office, Berwick

I have worked with hundreds of holiday let owners in Northumberland and The Scottish Borders over the years. Growing up, my mum always had holiday accommodation in Berwick and recently my husband and I renovated the floor above my photography studio so now I even own a holiday apartment. This means that I have a really good understanding of the local tourism business and how I can make life easier for holiday accommodation owners when photographing their holiday lets in a way that fully showcases them.

There’s no need to stress about a photoshoot! The most important thing is to make sure the holiday let looks exactly as it would be when your guests arrive.

Other tips would be:

  • Turn on all the lights and lamps before the shoot

  • Have the bed(s) made and ready with clean sheets

  • Make sure the windows are clean on both the inside and the outside

  • Close all toilet sets and use fluffy towels on any handrails

  • If there are any thank you gifts you will regularly be giving to holidaymakers, buy some wine or flowers in advance

Before every shoot, I schedule a consultation call to ensure that we get the best results possible from the session. If like me, you like to be well prepared in advance you can download my property photography prep checklist below for free.

Ideally, you would be there for the photography but if you can't be around I can arrange key collection and get on with your photography with minimum fuss, saving you time away from your busy schedule.

Starting with me taking a short walk around the local area can provide you with a multitude of photos to choose from which will give prospective holidaymakers a feel of the sights and attractions they can expect to enjoy when they visit your place.


So, if you would like to make a huge improvement to your bookings this year my product photography package deal is perfect for holiday cottages, guest houses and hotels.

Or why not book a call?

I love my job. I get to capture children's first smiles, watch families grow, and I have the privilege of creating lifetime memories with them. I see couples look into each other's eyes and remember, all over again, how much they love each other. I get a kick from the pride and excitement on a business owner's face when they see their photography for the first time - pride in the company they have built and excitement about using my work to further future growth.

So if you would like to enhance your home or website with timeless photography that warms your heart and makes you proud, then welcome!
