How to use this list

Start with business registration, general liability insurance, and professional liability insurance. Define the service menu and pricing sheet by property size, then prepare the client service agreement, homeowner photo release, contractor image usage agreement, and privacy and confidentiality policy. Use the before-and-after shot list to plan each appointment. Ready the camera or smartphone, tripod, portable LED light, extra memory card, and spare battery or power bank. Set up the photo delivery gallery account, image file naming template, client approval form, and portfolio permission form.

Do not treat contractor permission as homeowner permission. Use the homeowner photo release and contractor image usage agreement as applicable. Avoid changing angles between the before and after images when the shot list calls for a matching view. Do not place approved client images in a portfolio without the portfolio permission form.
