Selling a home requires quite a bit of marketing effort. Professional real estate photography is one of the most important marketing tools a realtor can use to get the home noticed. A 2013 study by Redfin found that homes listed between $200,000 and $1 million sold for $3,400 to $11,200 more relative to their list prices when photographed professionally.
Twilight photos of the exterior of the home will be more eye-catching when potential buyers are shopping online. Realty Times stated:
“Many, many homes will look better when photographed at twilight. There’s something everyone loves about seeing an image with the glowing lights inside. It’s striking and colorful, and all in all a very appealing look for a real estate marketing campaign.

For the last two years, we have been photographing the “featured family” for Greenbrier Neighbors Magazine. This monthly publication is distributed to over 6000 households in the Greenbrier area of Chesapeake, Virginia. The August issue of the magazine will feature Chesapeake Mayor Rick West and his wife Vickie. We photographed on the deck of his home that is located next to Greenbrier Country Club. They were a wonderful couple to work with and very gracious to have left a member’s tournament that was in progress at the country club for their session.
Professional photographers love to do personal work, also called self-assignments. It allows us to push ourselves creatively. One of my favorite things subject for personal work is vintage styled images, especially from the 1920s to the 1950s. In this case, I was inspired by the work of Mark Shaw for Christian Dior in Paris in the 1950s. Shaw was a photographer for Life magazine, also known for his photographs of Audrey Hepburn and John Kennedy and his family.
