What does Photo Ready really mean? Last weekend I arrived at a listing ready to take photos and create the floor plan.  The sellers said "Just tell us what you want us to move in each room."  It's times like this I wish I had a time machine.   I have compiled a list of preparations based on quest...

In my effort to keep things interesting, I have decided to add "Family Fridays".  At least I know my blogging topic on Fridays! We have two AMAZING daughters, ages 13 and 11.  Yup-a teen and a tween.  I'm thinking that the topics will be endless! In November, 2004 a social worker brought these tw...

Looking through the photos on MLS.  OH-how they make me laugh sometimes. Many could be easily improved.   One common and easy to fix mistake: Shooting straight on, with no angle:  It's boring and flat.  When photographing your Real Estate Listing,  you are trying to put a 3-dimensional, 2000 squa...

WHY USE A FLASH? Why should you use a flash, and not just use the ambient light? There are many reasons: 1) Even lighting;  I use my flash primarily as a fill-light.  It evens out the lighting in the room. Maybe the room has windows on one end only, or it is east facing and you are shooting in t...

  This is what I shared yesterday at my mom's memorial.  OK-It's not real estate related, but if you want to know a bit more about me, this should help.     My mother wasn’t a typical mom, a typical woman, or  typical at anything she did. She didn’t share with me any housekeeping, make-up or fash...

Southwest Airlines as a Customer Service Model                   I am traveling from Boston MA to Sacramento CA with my family.   I am writing this blog during our layover at the St Louis airport (which does not have free Wifi, as of 7 April 2011).  We were scheduled to leave Boston at 6:00 am. ...

When on a shoot, I am frequently asked staging questions.  I guess people figure that I would know what looks good in a photo.  On a recent shoot, I was asked about the small bedroom, being used (as they are frequently) as an office.   I suggested that they stage it as a bedroom.  Now buyers know...
