Most of the time when I go to photograph a new house, I don’t know what I’m walking into. It’s always fun to be pleasantly surprised with a stunner. One of my favorite things to do is envision how I would decorate things if I was the one moving in.

Not much to change when there is a knotty pine vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors and a brick fireplace involved!

I got to photograph a stunner yesterday! Would you look at that island countertop? My life goals are to have empty kitchen counter tops, so when I shoot a clutter-free house, it makes my Type A, Virgo heart happy!

When a few of your favorite things come together, it's like a Julie Andrews song. We need to rework the lyrics to include drone, mountains and luxury real estate!

Lonnie Dodd and asked me to shoot this ranch style home in the mountains just outside of Boise, and every box was checked, from the scenic drive and the idyllic weather to the perfectly laid out single story home with VIEWS!

While I'm always happy to create regular photos and the virtual tours, drone photos & video are the most satisfying and rewarding parts of my day.

When you are a drone pilot and photographer and get asked to do a shoot....the odds are infinitely more likely I will say yes, the more unique the request.

Hot air balloons to market new home development is definitely up my alley!

Normally when I put the drone up its to film a new build subdivision, or even a monster commercial real-estate building. Filming a hot air balloon was a nice change. But kudos to the fact that it was a new home builder using it as a super unique way to market their subdivisions.

There was a sweet spot when I put up the drone for this new commercial construction. I was sandwiched between a small local airport (still OK to fly, but with constant "plane approaching" alerts) and a double decker set of power poles.

Good thing they put the main entrance so it could at least be bathed in southern exposure lighting.

After putting up the drone to film new construction, stumbling on to a big ugly storm is like a fun little reward.

Are Your Photos Costing You Clients?

Buyers judge a home in seconds. If your listing photos are dark, blurry, or just plain bad, how many potential clients are skipping past your properties?

I make a hobby of scrolling the MLS, like some people scroll FB. If a city comes up in conversation, I’m looking at what the local real estate market is like. I love to see the prices, the architectural styles, and the decor. But more than anything I am looking to assess the quality of the photographs.

You can immediately tell which agent are fly by night or don’t give a s**t. They don’t understand marketing or personal branding. But the ones who get it… chefs kiss! 😘

Realtors - Do You Really Own Your Listing Photos? More than likely no.

You paid for them, but that doesn’t mean you can use them however you want.

There is a common (and costly) misunderstanding.

Lets say a Realtor hires a photographer, pays for the shoot, and then… uses those same photos across multiple platforms, in future listing presentations, maybe even on postcards months later. Seems harmless, right?



In most cases, unless stated otherwise, the photographer retains the copyright to the images. That means you're technically only licensing the photos for a specific use, usually to market that one listing.

If you want to reuse the photos later, transfer them to another agent, or post them outside the agreed-upon channels (like print ads, broker sites, etc), you could be violating copyright.

I know, it sounds wild. But photographers are protected under U.S. copyright law the moment they hit the shutter.

Here’s what you can do:

✅ Ask for a clearly defined usage license in writing

✅ Understand what your payment includes (and doesn’t)

✅ Don’t assume you can reuse photos from an old listing

✅ Avoid using another agent’s listing photos, even if you take over the listing

And yes, I’m a real estate photographer who provides flexible licensing because I want you to win with your marketing. But not all photographers do. And I’ve seen agents hit with takedown notices… or worse.

Have questions about what you can legally do with your listing photos? DM me and I’ll walk you through it, no pressure, just clarity.

Realtors: Have you ever had a situation where you were made aware of copyright violations? Remember contracts protect you too.
