Following are several comparisons of vacation rental property owners’ photos next to their new professional photos from my recent trip to Georgia.

Does the work of a professional make that big of a difference?
Will the investment for pro photos be worth it to these owners?

Tell me your thoughts in the comments below. :)

P.S. Please be super patient as there are lots of photos to load in the post!
