Professional Photography of construction renovations in Pebble Beach California
This was the fourth renovation shoot (first and second and third shoots) I did for Adelle of Murrer Construction this time featuring some detailed bathroom design, custom cabinetry, and a whole new kitchen for a home redone from the studs out in Pebble Beach, California. Adelle’s team did a great job with a mix of styles from a more modern and open kitchen, to custom wallpapering in a bedroom, to a bathtub with full view of the backyard area. Thank you Adelle for continuing to choose me as your photographer for your construction renovation projects in the Pebble Beach area.
Making professional photos of paintings for product use in Monterey
Derrick contacted me about photographing some of his paintings on wood. I asked for a few more details, like the size of the pieces, which I learned would easily fit in my photography studio here in Pacific Grove, California. He wanted professional, high resolution photos of his paintings to be used for making products like stickers. I enjoy seeing other people’s artwork up close like this. It was a fun shoot. Thank you Elijah for assisting and thank you Derrick for choosing me as your photographer! I look forward to photographing more of your paintings in the future
The ribbon cutting events that the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce puts on feature all kinds of different businesses in town. This one I had walked by quite a bit in the past year, but never went inside until this ribbon cutting event. If you like antiques and nostalgia, then The Grove Emporium is a place to definitely check out.
Professional Photography for Hotel Interiors and Amenities in Salinas California
This was actually my very first time to Salinas, to make professional interior photos of a Hampton Inn hotel. I had never photographed a hotel that had 9 different room types before either! In additional to the room photos, I got photographs of the amenities the hotel had like an indoor pool, a gym, a large conference room, and a small business center. Once spring blooms more, I will return for the exterior shots and drone video. Thank you to the team at this Hampton Inn that made the shoot go smoothly and very efficiently!
There are often weather alerts for “sneaker waves” for the Monterey Bay coast where I live. Pacific Grove is a quiet small town, right on the coast that is often full of drama. Such was the case on a recent afternoon, so I took my camera with 70-200mm lens (medium telephoto) to see what wave splashes I could capture. When I took the above shot, about 100 shots into the time I was shooting, I knew immediately it was the shot I had been looking for, and that was even before I noticed the birds in it, which just added to the shot. I took a few more photos after that, but I knew I had gotten what I envisioned before even leaving the house. This is something very satisfying and recommended for any photographer, envision what photo you want to get before going out, and then when you get it, you will know.
Candid Event Photography for Ribbon Cuttings in Pacific Grove
This was a very high energy ribbon cutting because the owner of I heart You Candles, Sherry, is a very high energy and enthusiastic person! As an ambassador for the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce I regularly attend events like this and of course always bring my camera. This time I was also a customer purchasing a candle to bring home to my girlfriend. Thank you Sherry for your help in picking out the best candle and good luck with your new business here in Pacific Grove!
Professional Photos for Airbnb or Verb or Vacation Rental Home in Pebble Beach with Drone Aerial Photos too
Pebble Beach, California is becoming the place I go to most to make professional photos and aerial drone photos of Airbnb, Vrbo, an vacation home rental properties! The large, open common space photographed well showing a great place for Airbnb guests to spend time. I worked with a stager to setup a food / drink setting in order to get highlight and featuring photos, in addition to the wide angle shots of the rooms themselves. Highlighting photos are necessary for Airbnb shoots to let guests feel what kind of experience they could have in the home, while such photos may not always be needed or wanted in traditional real estate listings. I stayed until twilight to get a few lights on through the windows shots, and I also sent the drone up to show the property in its unique forested and sloped setting.
