VRBO Photography

Back in January 2020 (just a couple of months before the pandemic hit), I created a post on my previous blog about the direction of my photography work. Having launched this new website just a few weeks ago, I have been reading through my previous blog looking for content and wanting to make sure my new website as well as my original blog are both functioning properly.

But having come across this one blog post in particular, it felt apropos to copy that post over to this new website (both for the SEO potential as well as an indicator that I was on and continue to be on the right path in regards to my career).

Here is that blog post:

Since 2005, I have primarily focused on photographing weddings and have enjoyed lots and lots of delicious wedding cake over the years. But at the same time, it was important to me to continue to expand my horizons and pursue other types of photography as well.

A few areas that my photography has progressed toward is real estate and corporate events. Since 2015, I have been taking on more and more of those types of assignments and fewer and fewer weddings. In 2020, chances are that I will not photograph any weddings at all. This is certainly in stark contrast to what I was doing 10-15 years ago. It has been an exciting progression in my career and one that I am fully embracing in 2020. (How crazy that I wrote that prior to the pandemic).

Ironically, just a couple of evenings ago a local realtor reached out to me having discovered my photography through Instagram and hired me to photograph one of her upcoming real estate listings. It immediately reminded me of the power of social media, the fact that I have not updated my blog in far too long, and the fact that the work I create now is vastly different from the work I was making when I began my career as a photographer.

So that being said, I am taking the next few days, weeks, and months diving back into my archives of the last 6 months or so and updating the blog with the type of work I have been more consistently creating. Some time around August or so of 2019, I was hired to photograph a vacation property out in Arch Cape, OR. The client wanted both daytime and evening shots, so these images were captured over the course of 2 nights/3 days. It was a very relaxing photo shoot sprinkled in with lots of rest and relaxation.
