Local know-how that shapes every shoot
General San Diego conditions we plan around on every job.
- 01Coastal light and "May Gray / June Gloom."Morning marine layer is common near the coast in late spring and early summer. We plan exterior and twilight timing around it so skies and ocean views look their best.
- 02Views, canyons and hillsides.Many San Diego homes sit on canyon edges or hillsides, or have ocean and bay views. Drone and elevated angles show those features in a way ground photos can't.
- 03Drone airspace.Much of San Diego sits in controlled airspace around San Diego International Airport, MCAS Miramar, Naval Air Station North Island and several smaller airports. Drone flights there need FAA authorization. Megan holds an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, checks airspace before every aerial shoot and gets authorization where it's required.
- 04ADUs and multi-unit lots.Separate ADUs (up to about 600 sq ft) can be added to any shoot for $79, which covers 10–15 extra photos.

How many photos will I get?
There's no cap. Every package includes unlimited MLS-ready interior and exterior photos, so every room and feature can be covered.
How quickly will I get my photos?
Next day. Edited, MLS-ready media is delivered the next day in an online gallery, ready to upload to the MLS.
Do you offer drone photography?
Yes. Aerial photos are $199 flat for any size property, or included in the Photos + Drone, Photos + 3D Tour + Drone and Signature packages. Many San Diego neighborhoods are in controlled airspace, so every flight is planned by an FAA Part 107 certified drone pilot, who checks airspace and gets FAA authorization where it's required.
Do you offer Zillow 3D tours?
Yes. Zillow 3D tours let buyers walk through the home online and show up directly on Zillow listings. They start at $199 à la carte, or are included in the Photos + Zillow 3D Tour, Photos + 3D Tour + Drone and Signature packages.
Do you offer virtual staging and virtual twilight? What about California's AB 723?
Yes: whole-home virtual staging is $99 and virtual twilight is $25 per photo. California's AB 723 (Business and Professions Code §10140.8), in effect since January 1, 2026, requires listing ads that use a digitally altered image, such as a virtually staged photo, to say the image was altered and to link to the original, unaltered image. Routine edits like lighting, color correction, exposure, straightening and cropping don't count as altered. Blue Coast Visuals follows California law: every virtually staged photo we deliver carries a "digitally altered" label. This is general information, not legal advice. Check with your broker about your own disclosure obligations.
How should I prepare the home?
Follow our home prep guide. In short: finish cleaning and decluttering before we arrive, turn on every light, open blinds evenly, close toilet lids, hide trash cans and personal items, and avoid scheduling other services during the shoot.
Do you photograph ADUs, rentals and vacation homes?
Yes. A separate ADU (up to about 600 sq ft) is a $79 add-on with 10–15 extra photos. For Airbnb and vacation rentals, see our portfolio.
What areas do you serve?
We serve homes throughout San Diego County, including San Diego, La Jolla, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, Coronado, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Pacific Beach, Mission Beach, Point Loma, Oceanside, Chula Vista, Escondido. Don't see your area? Call or text 619-851-9289.
