Which package your listing actually needs
Most pricing pages are built to move you up a tier. This one is not, because a listing photographed with more than it needed is money the seller notices and the agent has to justify. The honest version is short.
Starter is the right answer more often than people expect. A condo, a townhome, a two-bedroom bungalow in Seminole Heights, a resale in Brandon or Riverview — these sell on being clean, bright and honestly represented, and twenty-five good photographs do that completely. Adding a cinematic video to a $320,000 subdivision listing does not move it faster; the buyers for that house are comparing floor plans and price, and they have already decided before the video loads.
Pro is for anything where the lot or the setting is part of the argument. A family home on a conservation lot in New Tampa, a golf-frontage house in Tampa Palms, anything on acreage in Lutz, a property where a buyer will ask what is behind it. The drone is what earns the difference, not the extra photographs.
Elite is for listings where the photographs are the showing. Waterfront on Davis Islands, Beach Park, Snell Isle or Sand Key; anything over about $900,000; anything being sold substantially to out-of-state buyers who will make an offer before they land. At that level twilight and video are not decoration — a large share of those buyers will never walk the house before they write.
If you are not sure, send the address. We will tell you which one it is, including when the answer is the cheaper one.
What square footage has to do with it
Square footage decides the package because it decides the time, and time is the only real input. A 1,400 sq ft condo is a two-hour job including setup. A 4,500 sq ft house on a large lot is most of a day — more rooms, more lighting setups, more exterior angles, and an aerial that has to be planned rather than flown on arrival. Charging both the same would mean overcharging the first to subsidise the second.
What it does not depend on is the number of photographs. Nothing here is billed per image, so there is never a conversation about whether the twenty-eighth photo is worth $8. You get the set the property needs, which on a small condo is genuinely fewer pictures than on a large house, and the price was already fixed before the shoot.
There are also no travel fees anywhere in Hillsborough, Pinellas or Pasco. A Wesley Chapel listing and a South Tampa listing cost the same at the same square footage, which is not true of every photographer quoting in this market.
What the Tampa Bay market charges
Useful context, since most pricing pages avoid it. Established Tampa Bay studios generally run a three-tier structure starting around $275 for photos with drone and a floor plan, roughly $400 once a social video is included, and around $700 for a package with a cinematic listing video. Many also tier their pricing by square footage bracket and charge separately for twilight appointments, virtual tours and virtual staging.
We are below that, and it is worth being straightforward about why rather than implying everyone else is overcharging. K94 is an owner-operated studio with no sales team and no office overhead, which is a genuine cost difference rather than a promotional one. The trade-off is capacity: there is a real limit to how many shoots exist in a week, which is why booking three to five days ahead is the normal pattern rather than a scarcity line.
What we would not suggest is choosing a photographer on price alone. The expensive failure in this market is not paying $500 instead of $300 — it is a set that has to be reshot, or a listing that launched into its best week with photographs that did not do the house justice.
Add-ons
Questions Tampa agents ask
How much does real estate photography cost in Tampa?
Most Tampa Bay listings are photographed for $149 to $500 depending on square footage and whether video and drone are included. K94 prices per package rather than per photo, so the number on the quote is the number on the invoice — square footage decides the package, not the final bill.
Do you charge travel fees across Tampa Bay?
No. Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco are all covered with no travel fee — Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Brandon, Riverview, Wesley Chapel, Land O' Lakes, Westchase, Carrollwood and the rest of the Bay area.
How fast do I get the photos?
Next day by default, via a private download link. Same-day delivery is available as a rush add-on when a listing has to go live immediately.
Is drone included?
Drone aerials are included in the Pro and Elite packages, and can be added to Starter for $150. Tampa sits under TPA's controlled airspace, so flights near the airport are flown with LAANC authorization.
What about hurricane season?
June through November we watch the forecast with you and reschedule at no charge when weather moves in. Cancellations 24 hours out are always free.
Do you shoot vacant properties?
Yes. For vacant homes virtual staging is usually the cheaper route to a listing that photographs well — $25 per image, so a whole living space costs less than a day of rented furniture.
