Here are a few of my favorite shots from a recent real estate photography shoot for my #1 client, Jeremy Hart. I thought the inside of this house was gorgeous, so just had to share. Click here for the full listing which has more details and of course more of my photos!

Realtor Guide

I’ve added a link to the Realtor Guide to my main menu, but you can also click here to view it. This is a great read for all you real estate agents out there. It’s a two page guide that is intended to help Realtors understand the basic aspects of using photos in real estate marketing. The guide comes from my friends over at PFRE which is a really great resource for real estate photographers like myself.

Here’s an excerpt:

But there are even more compelling reasons for using great photography to present your listing:

Your home seller client will be pleased how you are presenting their property.
It’s a well established fact that great photos and marketing materials are a way to get more listings. Neighbors of the listing property watch carefully how a property is marketed. If they like what they see, they will ask you to list their property.
If you are competing for a listing, the commitment of professionally done photography and marketing materials can help you win the listing.

Also, anyone in the New River Valley that would like a real estate agent who not only understands these principles but actually practices them on a daily basis, then head on over to NRVLiving and give a shout to Jeremy Hart. He’s not only an awesome real estate agent but also my #1 client!

This past weekend I had the pleasure of shooting this beautiful condo on Claytor Lake in Dublin, VA. I can just imagine waking up in the master bedroom to the wonderful view of the lake and mountains just outside!

Valley Interfaith Child Care Center

About a week and a half ago I had the pleasure of doing a free photo shoot for the Valley Interfaith Child Care Center. It was a beautiful day and I was greeted with a large smile from Katy Irene St. Marie, the Executive Director of the VICCC. She showed me around the center which seemed like such a fun, colorful place, and then I got to work. There were lots of rooms and also lots of great artwork on the walls done by local artists. This was a fun shoot and also a nice change of pace from the regular real estate photography work I’ve been doing. Did I mention all the great colors?

Here’s a video I made from all the photos of the center. If there’s a certain shot you’d like to see better just let me know and I’ll post some higher rez stills. Enjoy!
