The peacefulness in photographing an apartment community in Albuquerque
I actually find photographing an apartment community one of the most relaxing types of photography I do. Why is that? Because most of the time I am given access to a space, then left alone to make the photos I need. Such was the case when I photographed Stride West in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The leasing office area and lobby was largely empty when I was there, the gym totally empty, same for the pool, and of course the model unit was just me and the furniture. In this way I made my way around the apartment community grounds (with a lift from the staff on a golf cart) getting the 75 photos I needed to per client guidelines. I did start out getting aerial drone photos because the skies were pretty good, and it is my policy to get all exterior shots when I arrive because you never know when the weather will change. Sure enough, by the end of the shoot things would have been too cloudy. Thank you to the team at Stride West for getting everything prepped for the photo shoot.
Creative real estate photography of a creative property in Nob Hill
When a house is well designed and exquisitely stage, it really makes my job as a real estate photographer easier! Such was the case with 310 Wellesley in Albuquerque, New Mexico owned, listed, and decorated by Renee. From the outside of what looks like a typical adobe style home in the Nob Hill area of ABQ, you could be nothing but surprised at what awaits inside. Further, Renee wanted editorial style featuring photos of the interior as well. I always highly recommend adding this special kind of photo besides just the usual wide angle interior shots. Thank you for choosing me as your real estate photographer Renee!
Working outside in for professional apartment photography in Albuquerque
Professional commercial real estate photography for apartment complexes in Albuquerque involves both indoor and outdoor shooting. As I made my way around Rock Creek Apartments, it is my preference to get the outdoor photos done first, as you never know when the weather can change. Once done with the exterior photos, I move on to the interiors based on what spaces are open at present and likely to get busy sooner rather than later. Plus, the leasing office slash community space had by far the most visual appeal for photographs, so this is where I spent most of my time. Ironically, photographing the interior of the empty apartment units was actually the least time consuming portion of the shoot! Thank you to the team at Rock Creek Apartments for escorting me around!
Luxury Real Estate Photography on a tight deadline in Albuquerque
This was my first time to work with Nick Caffey of Cottonwood Realty who called me with a short notice request to photograph a luxury real estate listing on La Luz Trail NE right in the very foot of the Sandia Mountains (check out the actual property listing if you are interested). He told me it was going to be a $1.5 million dollar listing, and that he needed it photographed within 3 days! I had a very tight schedule, and was not even in Albuquerque at the time of his text, and was leaving Albuquerque yet again for more out of town photo work 3 days after I got back. However, I was able to make time and get all the photography and drone content done for Nick in time for his listing date (save for twilight shots due to weather). The owners of the house helped make this possible too by having the house ready and looked like it was staged professionally. Thank you Nick for choosing me as your luxury home real estate photographer! I hope this listing sells quickly and I look forward to the next luxury property shoot with you.
Bringing the Sandia Mountain views in with real estate photography
Most luxury real estate properties I photograph in Albuquerque, New Mexico are either furnished or staged, but I had the unique opportunity to photograph an unfurnished, just finished, home for the builder themselves. Approaching the house I had no idea the inside would look like it did with its super high ceilings and commanding view of the Sandia Mountains. It is very much a modern house at the foot of the mountains where the views come right in through the windows, which is what I wanted to highlight in the interior photos I made of the main living space.
Back shooting for Ryerson Real Estate this time in Northeast Albuquerque, where I met Susan Ryerson to make the photos of this property at 8504 Sonoma Valley Dr NE. Working with Susan, or Mark, is always a pleasure as they do not mind helping out to get a room setup just right, and they each have a great eye for detail making my job easier. Thank you Mark and Susan for continuing to choose me as your real estate photographer!
Amazing Library Residential Real Estate Photography in Albuquerque
You never know what you may find when making professional real estate photos in Albuquerque, New Mexico. At this Ridgecrest neighborhood home, the client told me there was a library to photograph at the end. I expected a regular-sized room with a lot of bookshelves. What it was in reality, you can see above and below. What an amazing private library in a residential home right here in ABQ!
