Do your photos scream out - "Come see me"

A friend of mine has her house for sale.  She hasn't had  too many lookers.  I happened to see the photos that are marketing her house and suggested a few professional photos may be the ticket.

She has a cute house, but her current photos, in my mind, did not scream out 'come look at me.'  I thought I'd share a couple of the new images she  can now use to entice house hunters.

Here we have a fresh, inviting image that  invites the viewer to come in and relax.

After we did a bit of staging and set up a careful composition, her charming kitchen was captured.

That's all for now.

For A Better Viewing Experience - Calibrate Your Monitor


Have you ever wondered why the images you're viewing look different from monitor to monitor?   It could be,  your monitor is in need of a "calibration tune up."

Here are a couple of useful calibration cards.

Capturing the Kitchen

My latest work took me to a beautiful home hidden in the woods within Chesterfield, Missouri.

For this photo shoot I was working closely with the client's vision and purpose. We agreed upon the angle required and one of the first shots was this.



Then, after completing the staging, adding the lighting, and post-processing we ended up with this:



Add in a few other shots to complete the package:


Now we're talking.  We've captured a great kitchen - fit for a Queen or King.
