Kids and Pets-Good Photo Subjects   


Kids and pets are good photo subjects. They can be attractive, funny, or serious. But a well done photo with kids or pets is almost a can't miss eye-catching opportunity. Too bad we cannot include them in real estate photos. Since they are not real property and cannot be conveyed in the sale, best to keep them our of the photos, not to mention privacy issues.

I received the following photos in an e-mail. The photographer, or someone in forwarding the e-mail, suggested the kids bore a strong resemblance to the pet along side which they were pictured. I think that observation is correct.

she resembles her pooch



A friend is someone who fills our lives with beauty, joy, and grace.

a girl and her pet



And makes the world we live in a better and happier place.

these guys have been up to something



There is a miracle called friendship, that dwells in the heart. You do not know how it happens or when it gets its start.

But you know the special lift it always brings. You realize that friendship is the word's most precious gift!

Bob-I'm really not looking forward to seeing my alter-ego in the form of a pooch. Poor animal that I really don't wish that for anyone.

John-Thanks for stopping by.

Wayne, oh how often we see the master of the pet looking like the pet. Is it the fact that likes attract?

Thanks, Wayne.  Those are some really cute pictures.  I wonder if people buy pets that look like them or if it happens miraculously by living with each other?

I love these photos, Wayne. Every now and then a picture with a pet sneaks into the MLS and somehow makes the home look more inviting.

We zero in on the empty homes, communities are not that way. Not just four walls and a roof. Good points Wayne. Hero is a cat I got in a sale where he was headed to the pound if we had not put him in the jeep after screwing on the SOLD sign rider as his owners headed to Florida. Without him wearing the floral shirt.
