Lifestyle photo & video for short-term rentals · Los Angeles & the desert

Your rental, turned up to ten.

We stay in your place, live in it for a day, and shoot it the way guests imagine their trip: coffee on the patio, golden hour at the fire pit, the hot tub after dark. You get photos and short video that make people book.

A desert house, lived in.

Wide rooms for the listing, lifestyle frames for Instagram, and one vertical video for Reels and TikTok. All from a single stay.

Every set includes a model in the frame for lifestyle shots and clean, empty-room frames for your listing order.
