WHY CHOOSE ME?

1) The voices in my head demand perfection and I try to accommodate

We once spent more than an hour arranging furniture.

Whenever our schedule allows, I like to take my time with each shot, typically 30-60 minutes per image. I shoot tethered to a laptop so we have a large preview and can zoom in on every last detail. I also provide preparation checklists for interior, exterior, commercial and aerial shoots to help get the location ready for photography and video.

2) No HDR

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range and it refers to the range in which you can see detail in the highlights and shadows of a given scene, which is a challenge in real estate photography. For example, a camera doesn’t have the dynamic range to ‘see’ details inside a dark room and outside a bright window in one image. HDR photography is one way to solve this problem. It’s a fast, easy technique but the results tend to appear hazy and unnatural.

I prefer to use professional lighting equipment and retouching techniques.

3) One friendly point of contact for photos, video & drone work

You only need to talk to one gal. I shoot photo, video and drone. You can expect me to show up on time, dress appropriately and treat homes, businesses and staff with consideration and respect.

4) Professional equipment and continuous learning

I have invested heavily in photography cameras, video cameras, tripods, flashes, 3-axis gimbals, computers, software and one of the highest quality drones on the market. And after more than 20 years, I'm still learning new tricks.
