NEED PHOTOS THAT SELL?

WE’RE THE REAL ESTATE PHOTOGRAPHERS THAT KENOSHA AND RACINE REAL ESTATE AGENTS TRUST.

You didn’t come this far to stop

WHEN YOU LIST A PROPERTY FOR SALE IN KENOSHA OR RACINE IN A YEAR IT’S SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU MAKE A POSITIVE FIRST IMPRESSION WITH YOUR PHOTOS, THE 3D TOUR OR THE VIDEO.

Your photos have to look amazing so you know you need a professional photographer, but not just any photographer. Instead, you want to look for a Kenosha and Racine-based photographer that is a real estate photography specialist.

They might cost a little more than an inexperienced photographer, but the benefits for you to have more buyers asking about your listing will make it all worthwhile.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

ADD ANY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS HERE. THESE ARE JUST SOME EXAMPLES, BUT YOU CAN ADD TO THIS OR REMOVE ANY OF THESE – CUSTOMIZE THE TEXT AS NEEDED.

“DON’T ALL PHOTOGRAPHY COMPANIES DO BASICALLY THE SAME THING?”

When it comes to choosing a real estate agent you get what you pay for. Some are better than others, and a really good agent is not going to be one of the cheapest. Photographers are exactly the same.

There are cheaper photographers here in Kenosha and Racine, but they are often trying to rush through a photo shoot as quickly as possible. That creates a poor impression with the homeowner who is home at the time, and that reflects poorly on the agent that recommended them.

Other photographers are just getting started in real estate photography, and they start out cheap to get more clients but their lack of experience shows through.

“HOW DO I BOOK A PHOTO SHOOT WITH YOU?”

Our photo shoot bookings take place online. ADD LINK TO BOOKING FORM HERE.

However, you can also call or text our office on 262-960-5168 during business hours if you have any questions or if you would like to book a shoot that way.

“WHERE DO YOU WORK?”

Our real estate photography packages are available across Southeast Wisconsin, and includes:

Kenosha

Racine

Lake Geneva

Oak Creek

Burlington

Extra charges will apply for any photo shoots beyond 30 miles from Racine, however we are able to shoot anywhere within Wisconsin.

For further details please send us an email or call 262-960-5168.

“HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL PHOTO SHOOT TAKE?”

The amount of time it takes to do a full real estate photo shoot will vary, depending on the package that is booked and the services that are included.

Typically, a photo shoot will take up to 2 hours, though if other services are booked (such as video or floorplan) then allow extra time.

If it’s important that you know the time beforehand, please have a chat with us and we can give you an estimate based on the booking that is made.

“WHEN ARE THE PHOTOS DELIVERED?”

All of the photos from your real estate photo session will be delivered the next day.

If you require faster delivery, please chat with Joe Franklin Photography before you book your photo shoot and we’ll do what we can to meet your needs (but we can’t make any promises until we chat, as it all depends on how busy we are that day).

“WHAT HAPPENS IF THE WEATHER IS BAD?”

We often encounter difficult weather here in Kenosha and Racine, and that can have a detrimental effect on a real estate photo session. We are happy to reschedule a shoot at short notice if the weather turns poor, however, we always leave it up to our clients to decide if they would like to proceed or not.

If a client does choose to proceed, and then later decides that they would like to have some or all of the photos taken again, further charges will apply.

Kenosha & Racine Realtors: Pro Photography Isn’t Optional — Even When Homes Sell Fast

Homes in Southeast Wisconsin are flying off the market — sometimes in hours.
So why bother investing in professional listing photos?

Because great photography doesn’t just sell the house…

✅ It sells YOU — your brand, your reputation, and your next dozen listings.

In a competitive market like Kenosha, Racine, and throughout SE Wisconsin, every listing you publish is a billboard for your business. And when the market shifts — which it inevitably will — your past marketing will speak louder than any sales pitch.

Let’s break down why.

1️⃣ Your Brand = Your Marketing

When a homeowner sees your listing — maybe one right on their street — they form instant assumptions:

This agent invests in success
They care about results
They know how to position a property

Or…

🚫 They cut corners
🚫 They don’t understand marketing
🚫 Is that taken with a phone?!

Even in a hot market, low-quality photos cheapen your brand.
Magazine-level photos elevate it.

Selling a home quickly is expected today.
Selling your value is what wins tomorrow’s business.

2️⃣ Today’s Listings Are Tomorrow’s Proof

Right now? Homes are selling themselves.
Later? They won’t.

And when future sellers research Kenosha or Racine agents online, here’s exactly what they’ll look at:

✅ Your listing history
✅ The visual quality of each property
✅ Who clearly knows how to market a home

If your photos don’t impress?

You’re not even getting the call.

What will buyers and sellers see — when the frenzy cools down?

Your visuals today build future credibility.

3️⃣ Sellers Talk — And They Repeat What Stands Out

Picture this conversation in a Racine neighborhood:

“We knew the market was hot, but our agent still hired a professional photographer and made our home look amazing. That’s who you should list with.”

That’s the reputation you want spreading door-to-door.

Not:

“Eh, it sold fast. The pictures weren’t great, but who cares in this market?”

One version gets referrals.
The other gets forgotten.

Hot Market or Cold Market — Your Marketing Is Your Legacy

When the dust settles and the competition tightens…

Will your portfolio show you’re an agent who always delivers quality?
Or an agent who only tries when necessary?

Your future clients are watching — whether you notice them or not.

✅ Stand Out in Kenosha. Win in Racine.

You deserve to be known as the agent who:

✨ Elevates every listing
✨ Invests in client success — not just quick wins
✨ Builds a brand that lasts longer than a hot market

If you’re ready to upgrade your marketing and dominate your farm area…

🎯 Let’s create listings that sell homes and bring you the next one.
