Ivy Stenzel Hospitality Photography
Images that make you long for a holiday
Hospitality photography combined with listing optimization and interior styling for high-end holiday properties.
This is how a booking-strong listing comes together.
I bring photos, listing and accommodation together so they feel like one cohesive whole.
Better visibility & more attention
High-quality photos and a clearly structured listing make sure your holiday property gets seen and stands out. That makes it feel attractive and high-quality – and gets clicked on more often.
More bookings – even at higher prices
When the photos, image order and listing structure work together, trust builds. That makes the booking decision easier – even at higher prices – and leads to steady occupancy.
Expectations met & better reviews
Interior styling and thoughtful ideas for the stay make sure the experience on site matches what the photos promise. That makes stays feel more complete, reduces guest questions and leads to better reviews.

Ivy Stenzel - Hospitality Photographer
Ivy Stenzel Real Estate Photography
I keep working on a project until everything fits together.
Hi, I'm Ivy [ai.vi].
To me, hospitality photography is more than just taking beautiful pictures. It combines exactly what I love – working creatively, styling spaces, photographing, and understanding how people perceive and decide.
Through my own holiday homes and the many properties I've already worked in, I bring a great deal of practical experience. I make sure that photos, listing and accommodation come together – online and on site.
The result: standout listings, higher prices, stable occupancy, and guests who truly feel at home.

What does a hospitality photographer actually do?
A hospitality photographer doesn't just think in images – but in guest experience.
It's not about photographing spaces beautifully for their own sake, but about sparking emotion, building trust and triggering bookings. The photos should show guests, even before they arrive, what it feels like to be there.
Specifically, that means:
- Focus on target audience, positioning and competitors
- Vivid staging instead of empty rooms
- Photos that clearly convey coziness, quality and how the space is used
- Optimized for Airbnb & Booking (cover photo, order, impact)
- Always aligned with the listing, copy and price level
- Where needed, optimizing the property itself: cozy, photogenic furnishings
How does professional photography help my holiday home achieve higher prices?
Professional photos evoke emotion and put your holiday home in the best possible light, making it feel more valuable. Some of our clients have achieved up to 20% higher prices with high-quality images. We make sure your property is presented in a way that makes guests willing to pay more for the special experience.
How can a better online presentation improve my occupancy?
A compelling online presentation with high-quality images and targeted marketing helps your holiday home get found more easily on platforms like Airbnb or Booking. Professional photos increase visibility in search results and improve your booking rate.
What if my holiday home isn’t perfectly furnished yet?
No problem! We offer not just photography, but interior styling consultation too. From small adjustments to complete furnishing concepts, we help you create a cozy atmosphere that impresses your guests and comes across perfectly in the photos.
How long does it take to receive the photos of my holiday home?
After the photo shoot, we professionally edit the images within five business days. You’ll receive them in all the formats you need for your website and booking platforms, so you can update your listing quickly.
Can I also use the photos for marketing purposes like social media?
Yes, our photos are versatile. We deliver them not just in the optimal formats for booking platforms, but also for your website, social media and other marketing channels — so you can present your holiday home perfectly everywhere.
How does my listing become a booking magnet?
A listing becomes a booking magnet when it isn’t put together by chance, but built strategically – exactly the way a hospitality photographer works.
That means: first understanding your target audience and their expectations, then aligning furnishings, design and photos accordingly, and bringing it all together in a clearly structured listing. Images, headline and copy work together, address typical guest concerns upfront, and show not just what the place looks like, but what it feels like to stay there. That's how trust, recognition – and a significantly higher booking probability – are created.
