How to Prep Your Home for Twilight Photos
Twilight photos are some of the most powerful images in a listing. They add drama, warmth, and a high-end feel—but only if the home is prepared correctly.
Here’s how to get your home ready so twilight shots look intentional and inviting, not chaotic.
1. Turn On Every Interior and Exterior Light
Twilight photography is all about glow.
interior lights
porch lights
soffit lighting
landscape lights
string lights
If it lights up, turn it on.
2. Replace Burned-Out Bulbs Beforehand
One dead bulb can ruin an otherwise perfect twilight shot.
Check:
porch fixtures
garage fixtures
coach lights
kitchen pendants
chandeliers
Aim for matching color temperatures (all warm or all neutral, not a mix of blue and yellow).
3. Clear the Driveway and Street in Front

4. Tidy Patios and Outdoor Living Areas
Since twilight emphasizes outdoor spaces:
arrange patio furniture neatly
fold and place blankets or cushions
put away hoses and yard tools
remove random decor that doesn’t photograph well
5. Curtains and Blinds: Mostly Open
You want light spilling out, not rooms looking closed off.
6. Turn Off Ceiling Fans
Lights on, fans off.
Moving fan blades create blur in long exposures.
7. Coordinate With Your Photographer on Timing
Twilight is a small window, usually 20–30 minutes. I time the session based on:
the property orientation
weather
sunset time
cloud cover
Being ready on time matters.
