Also, usually I had a sim visit the lot and peek through the windows, that way there is no unnecessary sims within the house that you have to move out or upload with them.
There is no need to bother with a Sim on the lot, either taking them there or having them move in. Just grab a terrain paint before taking screenshots. Grids gone. Problem solved.

Also, does anyone have any suggestions on creating stucco with timbering? The closest I made was from paneling that had the wallpaper replaced with mortar.
It depends on the placement. I use some of the cheap wallpapers for things like that with patterns. You may need custom patterns for what you're after. I haven't been able to keep up with all the modding possibilities but I'm sure at some point we should be able to create completely custom wall templates complete with color/pattern channels. As many different ones as are in the game, it's still severely lacking in several areas.

Ellatrue:
For stucco with timbers, it might be better to recolor one of the pillars, then use moveObjects on and snapobjectstogrid fasle (or hold down alt if you are using that cheat) to place them directly into the wall.

The trouble I had with trying to snap pictures within build mode is it would only let me in the cameraman mode once and then would never let me in it again, with two story houses I have to hop out of that to go up a floor properly. Probably doesn't do that for everyone though, my game seems to enjoy coming up with weird situations.

chaos:
There's a way to disable gridlines in Buy mode, through one of the settings in Build mode IIRC. If not Build mode, then through Options.
