How often do you retake your pictures?

This a timely question for me. I have this on my mind. I have not had to take new photos since sorting them out in the beginning of each listing. Nothing important enough has been changed, only replacing a french press or a plant, so I haven’t worried about it.

However, someone broke a lamp in one unit in December and I’m working on replacing it (we closed mid-Dec but will re-open in Feb). It has proved impossible to find the same lamp and, unfortunately, it was a somewhat unusual lamp so it will be noticeable.

I even have a picture of the lamp itself, more or less, because it sits on a table in front of a bay window that I want to feature in the photos. Obviously, I can retake the photo with a new lamp but the pretty lilac bush outside the window is winter-dead right now so a new photo will not look as attractive.

Yep. I considered putting a new photo and leaving the spring-time old photo with the old lamp as well, but wondered if someone might think that there’s two different bay windows, which I cannot provide. Your post has settled that and so I will not leave the old photo.

The issue is that the old lamp is in more than one photo and I’m trying to decide if I need to replace multiple photos or just the one where it’s obvious. My photos are not so great anyway so a bunch of new photos couldn’t hurt but I can’t think of a worse time to take new photos than January in New England. :cloud:
