I photographed this home in Decatur just before Thanksgiving last year and it was a joy to do so! The spaces were bright yet still cozy, uncluttered and perfectly staged. So many good angles! I photographed several rooms and a couple of bathrooms for the home owner/designer. Here are some of my favorite photos (click to enlarge):
I’m always eager to photograph something new or different, so when the owner of a vacation rental cabin contacted me a couple of months ago I was grateful for the brief change of pace and scenery. I drove up to Blue Ridge, GA in early June and followed the winding roads until I arrived at the cabin on Fighting Town Creek. The cabin owner showed me around, pointed out the amenities and then I got to work.
The city of Blue Ridge is about a 10.5 mile drive from the Georgia/Tennessee state line along Highway 5. It’s a popular destination year-round, but especially in the fall, for shopping, dining and nearby vineyards, breweries and orchards. You can even go for a ride on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway!
I photographed these lovely, clean, classy bathrooms a few months ago. I love photographing uncluttered spaces – I feel like some of the work has already been done simply because the spaces are so tidy, light and breathable. It can be a lot of fun to photograph colorful rooms, but white and grey are by far the easiest colors to photograph and edit. I did some compositing to remove unwanted reflections. Check out the sliders below to see the images that I blended together.
Back in September I jumped at the opportunity to photograph a new animal hospital that was opening near Dawsonville, GA. I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it again – variety is really important to me. I’m always eager to photograph different kinds of properties. When I first started doing real estate and architectural photography I mostly photographed apartment complexes and MLS listings. It didn’t take long for me to start feeling a little restless and bored. Since then I have photographed quite a variety of different buildings and spaces and I am always open to the opportunity to add to that list!
It’s a new year and and a new opportunity to maybe stay more on top of making regular posts?? Hahah – we’ll see about that! Happy New Year!
My first post of 2019 is actually a group of photos that I took last May. I photographed a property in McDonough, GA on a day when the weather ended up being cloudy during the day and gloomy and drizzly at sunset. Although the client didn’t make the request, I decided to do sky replacements for all of the outdoor shots; it seemed like the only option!
All the way back in February of this year, when it was cool and lovely enough outside to wear jeans and a cardigan and not sweat through everything I was wearing in a matter of seconds, I got in my car and drove three and a half hours to Hunstville, AL to photograph a Planet Fitness (for a client, not just for fun).
I got the chance to photograph this amazing, sprawling property in Woodstock, GA last August. It is situated just outside of Roswell (the eastern property line is the Fulton / Cobb County border) on 12 acres and it was a treat to get to photograph it.
I photographed this Roswell, GA home that overlooks the Chattahoochee River back in March. You can easily see the river from the window over the kitchen sink, the sun room and the deck (as well as other rooms not pictured here). The house was completely updated and most of the finishes were neutral, with a few exceptions, which are usually a bit easier to photograph and edit than very colorful rooms.
(Commercial Real Estate Photography) – This past November I traveled to Texas to photograph 20 properties for a client. I drove about 1100 miles in two and a half days driving from Houston to Dallas to San Antonio and back to Houston. The days were long and I slept like a log when I got home, but I actually enjoy doing this kind of work.
(Medical Facility Photography) – This property was a lot of fun to photograph, especially the lobby and reception areas. Like all of the other medical properties that I have photographed I had to move a bit more quickly in some areas than I would have liked to, but getting in the way of any patients or staff is definitely not an option!
Somehow it’s already early March, although if you look at just about any garden in the area you would think it’s early April! What happened to January and February? They used to be the slow months when it felt like time slowed down just a little after the holidays. Maybe the warm weather this year made time feel like it was passing more quickly…which doesn’t bode well for the rest of the year!
And here is the “Part II” post! I got to do some slightly more architectural photography at these properties, which I really enjoyed. Here is “Part I” in case you missed it.
