I'm going to be doing some photos of some indoor renovations of a smallish (I'm guessing from the area of town it's in) house this friday. This time around I'll be doing before pictures and then after photos at the end. This is the first time Ill be doing something like this so I'm not sure what I should bring. This is what I'm thinking:

18-55mm 4-5.6f
sb800 flash
2 - alien bees and umbrellas

I'm figureing there will be areas in the house that will need to be brought out of the shadows.

So Pros out there in this kind of stuff... anything else I should think about and know?

My nephew only carries a simple light on a telescoping pole, camera, lenses, and tripod. He uses the light on a pole to light different areas as he shoots multiple shots, layers them in PS, and balances the whole scene that way in PP.
His site Doug Thompson.net

It works for him, but he has a couple of years experience shooting that way now.

Don't forget to bring a good tripod and sand bags. Often it's easier to light one side of the room , then light the other and combine two frames, leaving well light rooms without those lights and umbrellas in the final shot. Plus for most pretty interiors gettign a good shot means moving all the stuff and clutter you dont like out of the shot, and adding in a sculpture or a vase of flowers. If you shoot half the room at a time you only have to move ugly things a few feet, instead of out of the room. And take a frame of two of the room before you arrange stuff so you can put it back where the client likes it.
And while it isnt that big a deal for the before shots, (after all you want before to look ratty) shooting interiors in the morning or evening or on an overcast day is nice because it is easier to avoid blowing out the exterior light coming through the windows. Either way, take one frame where the view through the windows is correctly exposed, so you can add that in later.
