As a professional real estate photographer and full-time real estate agent, I like to think that my agent experience helps me do a better job as a photographer. While the goal of photography is to market the home to potential buyers, I always remember that I'm photographing someone's home and I try to get some shots that are just for the seller. Like the homeowner who told me how much she would miss her rhododendron bush that she lovingly planted in memory of her mother ...
The sellers who were concerned that their dog would miss the home she had grown up in ...
The executive who was going to miss the view from his penthouse that inspired him every morning ...
The mom who planted a weeping cherry tree when her first child was born and wished she could take it with her ...
The divorcing couple who were reluctantly selling the home they had shared as a family for so long ...
And the recently widowed seller who was concerned her aging cat wouldn't survive the move ...
Sometimes I don't get to meet the homeowners when I'm shooting a property ... when I do, it's always touching to hear their stories. That's why it's important to me to capture a memory for them ... just for them.
