Case studies
A few recent shoots and what changed for the hosts behind them.
Lake Tahoe, CA
The challenge: A gorgeous A-frame hidden behind dark, phone-shot photos that made it look dated and cramped.
The StayShot fix: We re-shot with natural light, added a twilight exterior, and staged the loft as a cozy reading nook.
“The A-frame finally looks like the dream it is. We doubled our revenue in one season.” — Sarah M., host
La Jolla, CA
The challenge: A stunning one-bedroom with ocean views that guests kept calling 'smaller than expected'.
The StayShot fix: Wide-angle composition, a 3D tour, and drone aerials showing the beachfront setting — plus a virtual-staged dining nook.
“Guests now say the listing is exactly what they got — or better. That never happened before.” — David R., owner
Scottsdale, AZ
The challenge: A luxury estate marketing itself like a budget rental — no twilight shots, no aerials, no story.
The StayShot fix: A full Premium package: twilight exteriors, drone flyover, video walkthrough, and 3D tour.
“StayShot repositioned us as a destination, not a rental. The calendar speaks for itself.” — Elena K., property manager
