photography: New year, new outlook! - 01/29/09 05:23 PM
Now that the busy holiday season is over I can concentrate on business again. My goal this year is to really put myself out there! I want to reach all the people in my area that have no idea who I am and what I do, and make Linda Sabiston of First Impression Photos a house-sold name!
I have created a gorgeous glossy brochure with just enough of my high quality images to make people want to see more,  as well as some well thought out wording to grab even the most sceptical. I've also streamlined my services and prices.
I'm also going to reach … (2 comments)

photography: High bank waterfront - 03/18/08 08:36 AM
So this most recent photo shoot I was on was an older home sitting on a .93 Acre lot high above the Pacific Ocean. The house itself isn't what's going to sell the property, the property is what's going to sell it!
Although I really liked the interior and had fun shooting it, the Realtor was looking for more property and scenic views than interior.
It was a challenging shoot. Why? Because we are just on the verge of Spring...here in beautiful British Columbia we are still very much soaked in rain and grey/white skies. It makes getting those blue sky, blue water … (9 comments)

photography: Worth more than a thousand words...maybe even a sale. - 03/17/08 08:44 AM
Here's a little article I did for our local paper. It was placed smack dab in the middle of the real estate section, and I've had quite a few people comment on it.
Photographs are powerful bait. Good ones can lure buyers; poor ones can turn them away.  Spring is in the air and the real estate market is picking up. Buyers are scouring the papers and the Internet looking for the perfect home and sellers are cleaning, painting and pruning, all in preparation for another busy summer of moving. House hunting and selling can be time consuming, expensive and stressful, particularly … (44 comments)

photography: Spring is just around the corner! - 02/20/08 11:36 AM
Well, I've just completed my new pitch to the realtors in my area. In this pitch I've really tried to focus on what I feel I do best, which is still photography. Don't get me wrong, I love doing the virtual tours too, but the individual still image production is my passion.
Finding the perfect angle to capture the esscence of the room or the property, getting the lighting and colours to match with what I saw in real life....I love the challenge! I take every image into photoshop for colour corrections, density and brightness adjustments. I also believe that every vertical wall … (14 comments)

photography: The sun makes the phone ring! - 02/09/08 09:11 AM
It's been a long, quiet winter in the real estate photography business. Since about the end of September, when the rains really hit and the skies are constantly grey, the need for real estate photography has been quiet. But a few weeks ago we had about 5 days of sunshine....and wouldn't you know, I had call after call! We definately have to take advantage of those good days at this time of year, and I'm a regular on the environment Canada website!
It's going to be interesting to see what is more popular this year regarding the various forms of photographic marketing I can … (3 comments)
