Last Wednesday I made $680 in 4 hours and it felt like a scam

Had this random day last week where a repeat client needed me to photograph 3 small houses for their rental site, and they paid me $680 by noon without any haggle or change requests. That never happens because usually I'm fighting about mileage fees or waiting a month to get paid. What's the best day you've ever had compared to your average?

Houses are way easier than trying to charge per room too...

Per house pricing hides too many small jobs that nickel and dime you.

Skip the hourly vs per room debate entirely. Think about liability instead. When you price by the house, you're basically taking on risk for the whole job from start to finish with one clear number. Per room pricing gets messy fast if a client decides to move furniture between rooms halfway through or wants you to touch up baseboards that weren't part of the original deal. I've seen crews get stuck arguing over what counts as a room and lose money on the back end because they didn't account for weird layouts or hallways.
