The brief
Portfolio-wide photography production for one of San Francisco's largest nonprofit affordable housing developers, captured across 38 properties in 3 production days.
Mission Housing Development Corporation operates a portfolio of nearly 40 affordable housing properties across San Francisco, from named multifamily communities in the Mission District and SoMa to scattered-site rehabs throughout Potrero, Bayview, and the outer neighborhoods. Their team needed updated photography across the entire portfolio for marketing, fundraising, board reporting, and community communications.
Trevor Jones, Senior Asset Manager at Mission Housing, found us through search looking for a different kind of production partner. Someone who could handle an affordable housing portfolio in bulk without the overhead of a large agency, deliver consistent quality across every property, and work directly with him from kickoff through delivery. One contact, one production team, 38 properties.

How we produced it.
The challenge
38 properties spread across San Francisco - from dense Mission Street clusters to scattered sites in Bayview and the outer neighborhoods. Each property had its own access logistics, onsite contact, and preparation requirements. Coordinating this scale typically requires institutional procurement and multiple vendor relationships.
Our approach
Single point of contact from scope to delivery. We built a regional routing plan grouping all 38 properties into three production days by geographic cluster, coordinated directly with each building manager on access and unit availability, and ran the entire production with one consistent crew and editing standard.
Why regional productions work.
A regional production brings multiple properties into one coordinated engagement. We build the route around the market, establish one visual system, and capture every asset efficiently, then deliver each property as its own finished project. The result is less coordination, more consistent media, and a complete portfolio ready to use at once.
The outcome
38 properties captured in 3 days. 10 photos per property plus drone aerials where FAA airspace permitted. Final delivery in under two weeks. No vendor coordination, no quality variance, no handoffs.
