Modern Take…the Inception…

It started over a decade ago…Circuit City was going out of business and there happened to be a floor model Sony Digital SLR Camera on closeout. Having spent the better part of the previous ten years working in new-construction, residential real estate sales, I understood the sales and marketing side of new construction, but couldn’t understand why that approach hadn’t quite caught on in the resale market. After that chance visit to Circuit City (where service is state of the art), I strolled next door to Borders and picked up a copy of ‘Photography for Idiots’. Considering it had been over 20 years since shooting images of the quad through a pinhole in an Oatmeal Box my junior year in high school, I thought I might need to learn how to operate the camera. Though a series of countless stumbles, flops, being hired, being fired and those days where you just want to quit, I was able to keep my sight on the target and ten years later, finally feel like the team has arrived.

Living and working the past ten years in beautiful Southern California, myself and the team we’ve built has had the opportunity to shoot some of the most amazing homes, beaches and locations any where in the world.

Warmest Regards,
