Professional Real Estate Photography Solutions

What Professional Real Estate Photography Solutions does

PREP Solutions (Professional Real Estate Photography Solutions) is a sole proprietorship operated by Martin Dupuis in Ottawa, Canada, providing premium photography services to three client segments: residential real estate listings, commercial real estate, and corporate headshots. The company self-reports 10+ years of operation with 7,500+ homes photographed, and positions itself as the "#1 Choice in Ottawa" for high-end real estate photography. Martin Dupuis personally executes every shoot; ancillary technical services — virtual staging, twilight compositing, and object removal — are outsourced to specialist partners.

The service catalog is built around a tiered per-project pricing structure. Residential packages are priced at $195 (Photography Package), $275 (SneakPeek), and $545 (Video Package), with add-ons for Transport Canada-compliant drone/aerial photography, interactive floor plans, and social media reels. Commercial photography starts at $250 and corporate headshots at $195 per person, with AI Virtual Staging offered as a paid add-on at $15 per image. Same-day turnaround is marketed as standard. The technical backbone is conventional camera and drone gear paired with third-party AI editing and compositing tools; no proprietary software, platform, or models are described.

Distribution is direct-to-customer via a website contact form and a single phone line (613-619-5489); there is no agency channel, marketplace listing, or franchise footprint. The business is bootstrapped with no external capital, no investors, and no disclosed financial metrics. Operational scale is capped by the founder's personal availability, and the enterprise is entirely Ottawa-concentrated, with no multi-jurisdiction or franchise expansion signaled.
