I think 'Linette' might just be female, but I could be wrong! ;-)

Seriously, you could do what I've done throughout my career, which is to 
use my photo skills to take 'snaps' in order to communicate what I want 
to a professional photographer.

Without that, too many professionals have, IME, taken what they thought 
I wanted rather than working to the brief I provided. That wastes time 
and often their money.

A side benefit was that I learned better the advantages and 
disadvantages of different professional approaches.

But I don't know enough about interior design or photographing ID to 
make any useful recommendation.
