Airbnb and VRBO listings
A complete image set shaped around the way guests browse booking platforms: a strong lead photograph, clear room coverage, useful details, and an honest sense of the stay.
Short-term rental photography
Help guests picture the stay before they book.
Professional photography and property media for Airbnb, VRBO, vacation rentals, cabins, lodges, guest suites, and destinations throughout Alberta.
Designed for the booking decision
Sell the experience without hiding the space.
Guests make fast decisions. They want to understand the rooms, sleeping arrangements, kitchen, bathrooms, amenities, parking, outdoor areas, and setting—but they also want to imagine a weekend, family visit, work stay, or quiet escape there.
Professional short-term rental photography balances both needs. Wide, clear views explain the property, while considered details reveal the comfort and character that separate it from another listing. The result is an image set that feels inviting, accurate, and ready for booking platforms.
For cabins, acreages, lake properties, and rural destinations, the surroundings often carry as much value as the interior. Ground and aerial photography can connect the accommodation to the landscape, access, privacy, recreation, and amenities guests are actually travelling to experience.
Rental and hospitality coverage
More than one kind of stay.
Coverage is planned around the property, ideal guest, strongest amenities, and the places the finished images need to perform.
Cabins, lodges, and lake properties
The building is only part of the experience. We photograph decks, water access, views, firepits, trails, recreation areas, and the setting that makes a guest choose one destination over another.
Guest suites and furnished rentals
Thoughtful compositions help smaller spaces feel understandable and welcoming while accurately showing sleeping areas, kitchens, bathrooms, entrances, parking, and practical amenities.
Hospitality and tourism properties
Motels, inns, retreats, campgrounds, event accommodations, and regional tourism operators can build a consistent image library for booking pages, websites, social media, and advertising.
Aerial and exterior coverage
A wider perspective can explain privacy, proximity to water, property layout, parking, surrounding landscape, and the relationship between buildings and outdoor amenities.
Seasonal and refreshed content
Updated photographs can show renovations, new furnishings, seasonal experiences, or amenities added since the original listing—giving repeat viewers a reason to look again.
A reusable property library
One shoot. Images for every guest touchpoint.
The finished gallery can support the booking-platform listing, direct-booking website, Google Business Profile, social media, visitor information, seasonal promotions, and collaborations with regional tourism organizations.
Hosts can add aerials, cinematic property video, or vertical social edits when the setting and experience need more than still photographs. Updated coverage is also available after renovations, design changes, landscaping, or the addition of new guest amenities.
Athabasca & Alberta destinations
Built for properties worth travelling to.
Based in Athabasca, Back Forty photographs short-term rentals and hospitality properties throughout Athabasca County, Westlock, Slave Lake, Boyle, Lac La Biche, northern Alberta, Edmonton, and destinations across the province. Rural access, weather, changing seasons, and the need to make a travel day count are considered when the production is planned.
Short-term rental FAQ
Preparing the property and the listing.
Do you photograph properties for both Airbnb and VRBO?
Yes. The photographs are delivered for the booking platforms, property website, social media, and other marketing channels discussed for the project.
What should be prepared before a short-term rental shoot?
The property should be guest-ready: cleaned, beds made, surfaces simplified, lights working, amenities arranged, and outdoor areas prepared. We can provide practical guidance before the appointment.
Can you photograph cabins, lake properties, and rural rentals?
Yes. Rural and acreage properties are central to our work. Coverage can include the approach, land, water access, outbuildings, decks, firepits, trails, views, and nearby experience when appropriate.
Can aerial photography be added?
Yes, when weather, location, and flight restrictions allow. Aerial images are especially useful when the setting, privacy, waterfront, or property layout is part of the booking decision.
Do you offer video for vacation rentals?
Yes. Cinematic property tours and vertical social videos can help hosts show movement through the space and market the experience beyond the booking-platform gallery.
Where do you provide rental-property photography?
Back Forty is based in Athabasca and serves Athabasca County, Westlock, Slave Lake, Boyle, Lac La Biche, northern Alberta, Edmonton, and destinations throughout Alberta. Travel is reviewed when the booking is planned.
