During the Photography For REALTORS class I did recently I mentioned that I have a rule I call the “four-corners” rule. It is basically a mental reminder to walk to all four corners of a room or space and look in the opposite direction. So often I think I know the obvious shot...

Just a quick note of gratitude to all who attended the Photography For REALTORS class sponsored by RE/MAX State Line and RE/MAX Realty Suburban at the KU Edwards Campus on Monday.

Shoot Diagonally
Once again my shooting schedule has caused a long delay since my last post. I’m grateful beyond words for the agents who have supported me by asking me to photograph their listings and feel incredibly fortunate to be shooting daily. The only down-side is my inability to find the time to post regularly on this...

Shoot Wide
It’s been more than two weeks since I’ve posted, due in part to the rush of activity that followed my workshop in Phoenix. In the end, I’m a photographer and (definitely) not a writer, so shooting will always win out over posting! (Plus I get paid to shoot, which is cool!)
Having said that, I’ve decided...

Last week I mentioned that I’d like to post part of the Photography For REALTORS class here on the blog for those who have been unable to attend in person – or who have attended but would like to revisit the 10 techniques I discussed. Today we’ll get started, but first I’d like to apologize...
10 Steps To Better Real Estate Photography
Those who have attended my class Photography For REALTORS know that I spend part of the presentation describing 10 techniques I feel will help agents improve their real estate marketing photography regardless of the camera they use. Because we cover so much in such a short time, I’ve decided to post the 10 steps here...
It’s sunning on my parade
I’ve wanted to share this thought for the past week, but a busy shooting schedule has kept me from posting it until now. It stems from a question I was asked by my friend Angela Schweller, a terrific agent with RE/MAX First, REALTORS. Angela mentioned that she was taking a new listing in Prairie Village...
