Can I use my own preferred photographer? 

Yes, you can! As long as they are a Showcase-approved photographer or they complete a simple step-by-step process to become a Showcase-approved photographer. If you have a photographer that you want to use but they are not Zillow Showcase-approved yet, please share this link with them: https://app.aryeo.com/showingtimeplus-photographer-submission They will then get sent an email with everything they'll need to get started. 

For further information on the process, you can share this link with them as well: https://showingtimeplus.com/solutions/listing-showcase/photographers/resource-center, it explains the whole approval and shooting process to the photographer.  Once they go through the Zillow 3D Home Capture app, online training and equipment verification, they will be approved to upload their photography and media directly to Showcase on your behalf. 

Can photos of shared amenities be included and is there an additional cost? 

Amenity photos are included at no additional cost, but you must select it on the add-on page during the ordering process for the photographer to capture.
