I always love the opportunity to compare my work with other professionals in my industry. It’s always fun to see how someone else approaches the same exact room/space and I enjoy breaking down their images to see how they shoot and what their technique is.
As every professional real estate photographer has their own style and flare it’s important to find a photographer who delivers the kind of images you desire. I’m never offended if someone doesn’t care for my style/approach to real estate photography but if you do like my work I would love to earn your business! Please feel free to view my real estate packages and pricing on my website here.
For the first time in a while I’m actually posting this on the 1st of the month! Usually I’m a few days late… Talk about starting the new year off right! 🙂
As you know I like to keep my website updated with some of my latest work so people know what to expect if they hire me to photograph their property. Here’s some of the photos I created during the month of January 2020.
No question putting your home on the market is a stressful experience. With everything going on what needs attention can sometimes get lost in the fog. This posting can help set you up for success not just in getting excellent photos, but also create effective showings.
Just a couple good tips and general advice on preparing your home to be photographed.
De-clutter and hide clutter in the garage. The rule is, if there’s an item your not sure should be put off to storage, it should. De-clutter as much as possible! Typically the garage is not photographed so it’s a great place to store most clutter and unnecessary furniture. This will also make the home show better to potential buyers.
Have carpets professionally cleaned. It’s a great idea to have the carpets shampooed just prior to the photo shoot. Having your carpets cleaned is very affordable and goes a long way when marketing your home to potential buyers.

For the first time since moving here to East Tennessee I’ve actually had the opportunity to compare my style to another local professional real estate photographer who uses a lot of the same similar techniques as I do. To be honest with you, there were a couple of shots where I actually prefer theirs… Pretty impressed!

With over 11.3 million annual visitors the Smoky Mountains is one of America’s most popular vacation destinations. A perfect location to own a vacation rental property. With the advent of AirBnB, VRBO and other popular websites, vacation rentals have become extremely profitable and professional architectural photography plays a critical role.
As The Smokies have become more and more popular the competition in the vacation rental market has become fierce. Investors in these properties will need to fight for every click, professional photography is no longer a way to get the edge but a necessary minimum requirement.
Whilst there are several local talented professional photographers in the area, few have the skill set required for architectural work. Hiring a photographer who specializes in family photos or landscape photography can be a costly mistake.
Understanding how to correctly market a vacation rental through photography is a specialized skill set. Having the fortune of spending the last decade plus photographing hotels around the country, I’ve had the opportunity to work directly with talented designers and marketing directors who are at the top of their game.
Taking this knowledge and with the benefit of photographing directly for AirBnB in the past, I can bring that specialized skill set required to create beautiful images that generate the “clicks” and interest needed to stay competitive in the vacation rental market here in East Tennessee.
Do you own a vacation rental property in the Smoky Mountains area? I would love to earn your business! Please feel free to view my packages/pricing or give me a call today!

As a professional real estate photographer, I can deliver high quality real estate pictures for my clients regardless of the weather, season or even time of day! This is an add-on service I offer with all of my packages. For more information about my pricing/features please feel free to view my real estate photography packages here.
There are several benefits to replacing the sky for your real estate photos, and there are several reasons why you might want to consider it. Here are just a few common reasons why/when Realtors should consider utilizing a sky replacement for their listing.
Weather
Let’s face it, here in East Tennessee we don’t always have the luxury to wait around for beautiful blue skies with white puffy clouds. With Sky Replacement we can create an amazing image to market the home with regardless of what the weather is doing.
Generate more interest
Often times, with sky replacement we can create an image with more drama that a blank blue sky just doesn’t offer. Having an “eye catching” sky can compliment your listing and generate more clicks online, and more interest for your clients.
Create a wow factor for your clients
As a Realtor nothing authenticates you as a marketing expert to your clients more than stunning photos. Surprising your seller’s with a dramatic beautiful exterior front shot of their home.
Improve your brand
As a Realtor, homeowners expect a lot out of you. One of the many expectations homeowners have for their real estate agent is that their Realtor is an expert at marketing. What are you selling? Are you creating the right mood? When the public views your listings are they receiving the right message regarding your marketing abilities? Utilizing sky replacement shows you care about showcasing their property at it’s best and give even the smallest details your full attention.
Sky replacement is just one another service I offer to my clients to create stunning images that get results. Please feel free to view all my packages/pricing and add-on services on my real estate photography page here. Also feel free to take a look at my portfolio here. I would love to earn your business! Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to book a shoot.
