My background
With 30 years in the real estate industry, I've built my skills for photography through various roles. Starting with luxury apartment leasing, I gained valuable market insight and understand how people connect with their homes. My experience includes temporary housing for families experiencing a loss of their home, luxury apartment management, and executive housing, all of which deepen my appreciation for residential spaces.
This background shapes my photography approach, as I see each home as having a unique story that deserves elegant capture. I focus on personalized service to ensure each image shows the property's true essence. Using my expertise in photography, psychology, and marketing, I create visuals that resonate with potential buyers.
Having spent nearly two decades in the South Bay, I know the local architecture and market trends well. My dedication to the local culture helps me make appealing images that attract buyers. Working with a local photographer means collaborating with someone who understands the neighborhood's nuances and can create a strong visual connection between your property and future residents.
A little about my creative process
I can confidently walk into any home and immediately begin photographing its beautifully unique rooms, each with its own distinct charm. As I take pictures, I keenly notice how light transforms the entire space, revealing its true potential. I see the sun's warm rays gently streaming through a window, casting a soft glow that brightens a cozy corner, creating an inviting atmosphere perfect for quiet reflection. The real skill in selling a home lies in adeptly capturing these subtle yet impactful details, allowing them to resonate with potential buyers.
What it is like to work with me
I provide a personalized boutique experience for real estate agents. From the start, I learn each property's unique qualities and the agent's vision. Every photo shoot is customized to fit the listing's needs, and I collaborate with agents on branding and marketing to match my photography with their goals. To ensure each room is photo-ready, I conduct a walk-through to identify areas needing attention. I adjust lighting, angles, and decor to create an inviting atmosphere while removing distractions. My focus is on capturing the essence of each space, considering natural light and color balance. By collaborating with you as the agent, I gather insights on key features to showcase, maximizing results and creating stunning images that reflect the property’s potential with personal attention to detail.
After the shoot, I provide a quick turnaround on high-quality images and media with tailored edits that preserve the property’s character. By maintaining a small client portfolio, I ensure full attention to each project, fostering strong, trust-based relationships. This hands-on approach delivers not just photographs, but an elevated media experience that enhances listings and connects with clientele.
