What I shoot, and why

What can you expect? How long will it take? What is the progression of the shoot? This master shot list gives an idealised number of images for a typical home. Every home is different, but there is a logical order that helps, and it is generally both the order of the shoot and the order of the finished images. Your input on the features of the home is always welcome and needed.
