We met beforehand and looked at the the space, what the lighting was and to talk about what she wanted to do. A couple of weeks later we met again and did the project. The ambiance of the restaurant really flattered the floral arrangements Kristen put together. She is so talented! 

]]> (Coastal Light Photography) Business Small https://www.coastal-light.com/blog/2015/11/floral-boutique Sat, 21 Nov 2015 20:25:49 GMT Elevations https://www.coastal-light.com/blog/2015/10/elevations Sometimes we need to look at things differently. Real estate is evolving especially in how we market our listings. For example, social media is playing a huge roll now. 

Professional real estate photography is also evolving. We have mirrorless cameras which are smaller due to the removed mirror mechanism. We have cameras without an anti-alias filter for sharper images. Professional cameras and related equipment are becoming more and more sophisticated and complex. 

One area that is evolving at a fast pace for both real estate and real estate photography are elevated images - either taken by a pole, a helicopter/plane, a drone, or a boom lift. Personally, I've invested a 16' pole set up that is great for homes with pools, gardens or are set up high on a hill. You get a full shot of the house and yard without having to look at too much of the roof as you would in the other elevated options. Helicopters/planes and drones are great for when you want to get higher, showing the proximity to the ocean or lake/bay.
 
Here's are samples of various heights of the same property. They all have a different purpose and are important to showing the house and the land surrounding.

1st and 2nd images taken at ground level. 3rd image with a 16' pole showing the property surrounding the house. 4th image with a drone (with permission - www.sevdonaerialimagery.com).

First Impressions

The Importance of First Impressions

With technology moving along at an ever increasing pace, it's a wonder we actually read or take the time to really review anything online. Real estate searches fall into this category. A new app, Doorsteps, compares home searches to dating services. If you think about it, they are very similar. Doorstep's article, found here, points out how one quickly breezes through the photos and eliminates those that don't make a good first impression. The ones that do, get a more in-depth look to see if they might be worth pursuing. I would liken this to going on a first date, or a first showing in real estate. 

How you represent your properties online really does make a big impact on not only the quantity of buyers who may be interested, but the quality. These buyers are savvy, they're ready and they know what they are looking for (ok, maybe not all of them...).

Can you imagine if you went to a dating service and saw a potential match's photo that was taken with a cell phone, was dark, distorted and really didn't do the person justice? You'd move right on to the next one. Think of your listing photos in the same way. It really does pay to have professional photos taken for both you and the seller.

Pole Elevated Photography & Helicopters
Coming Soon to Coastal Light Photography!

Within the next few weeks, I will be offering pole elevated photography. There will be a value added fee for these shots to cover production and post processing times. 

 I'll also be taking my first flight in a helicopter to capture area shots of the local harbors in the next couple of months. Images will be available to license for a flat fee either per property, or per year, for your listings. Prints for personal use will also be available for purchase. More to come! 


A Reminder on Drones and Commercial Usage:
Recent article from NAR stating, "The National Association of REALTORS® has instructed its members to not use drones nor hire photographers or videographers who use drones for capturing aerial images of listings until the FAA issues its final guidelines. Those who continue to use drones may be fined by the FAA."

"Why Light Matters" and "Drones"

 

Why Lighting Matters: Lumens, Color, CRI and Longevity

Do you ever wonder why, when walking through a home, the lighting in a home looks off? Maybe if feels like there should be more lights or the lights are too bright, maybe the walls look too yellow?

Domaine Home uncovers some of the mystery so you can find the best lighting for each room. They talk about fixtures and what all those numbers and terms you see on the packaging really mean. Read the full article here...

 

Why Lighting Matters: Time of Day

We all want that picture perfect lead photo for MLS. One of the questions I ask an agent when we schedule our photo shoot is what time of day is best for the house. We would prefer the sun hitting the front, if that's what we're premiering, so we need to know when that is. When your discussing the photo shoot with the sellers, it's a good time to gather that information, along with letting them know what they can expect that day and how they can help prepare. 

Another thing to keep in mind is that not every house photographs well with bright sunshine. Sometimes an overcast day is preferable. If there are very large trees next to the house casting strong shadows, sometimes it's best to avoid the harsh sunshine. We see especially strong sunlight in early-mid spring and mid-late fall. 

Time of year is another factor. During the winter months, our days are shorter so we need to be mindful of when we have the best lighting. I keep a close eye on the daylight and weather so when we discuss our session, I'll know a suitable time. 

These are some of the lighting factors that I'm always thinking about when photographing properties. The others include the ambient light and my own lighting and camera/lens capabilities. All of these lighting considerations help me capture rooms in a favorably manner. 

If you have any questions about lighting, please give me a shout! I'm happy to answer them. 
 

Drones

Did you know those little helicopters in the sky are illegal to use commercially?

Some agents use them. Some photographers use them. Unfortunately, they aren't legal for commercial use. 

I was asked by a couple of real estate people at a recent gathering if I use one. The answer is not until the FAA has the rules finalized and there are laws in place. As of right now, it is against the law to use a drone for commercial purposes and there are hefty fines for those who get caught. I have no desire to take any chances nor have the agents I work with or their sellers caught in the mix of fines and lawsuits. 

Recent article from NAR stating, "The National Association of REALTORS® has instructed its members to not use drones nor hire photographers or videographers who use drones for capturing aerial images of listings until the FAA issues its final guidelines. Those who continue to use drones may be fined by the FAA."  
Read the full article here: http://realtormag.realtor.org/…/faa-drone-rules-delayed-2017

As of right now- there is ONE real estate agent in the country who has permission. He must have specific certificates in order to fly one commercially. There are only 13 companies in the US that are legally allowed to use them commercially. http://techcrunch.com/…/faa-allows-first-real-estate-compa…/

I'm following this issue very closely. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. In the meantime, we have other options for aerials including helicopters/planes and high poles.

So why the new name you wonder... I’ve had Carabell for 14 years!

It’s been a wonderful name and is a hybrid of my first and maiden name (I’ve had it longer than my husband!). But, even though it’s been my brand for so long, I’ve been ready for a change.

I’ve been envisioning something that expresses where I live, the beautiful Seacoast, and is the essence of photography. The name Coastal Light Photography came to me one day and I knew it was a perfect fit.

She wanted a headshot with a unique background so we used one of her found art pieces in her home. I love her in red! It's a strong, classic color and the art piece gives her a unique look from a traditional backdrop.

It's very popular in other areas of the country and abroad. 

Floor plans are a wonderful way to show the layout of a home. They are a helpful tool for buyers to envision themselves in a home and to remember it more clearly after they've left. 

For an interactive experience, you can add floor plans to a visual tour with "hot spots". Hot spots are icons that when hovered over show the corresponding room photo. Visual tours are full screen and high resolution, allow for agent access, weekly reports and more.

It makes me feel good when I can support other local businesses. For example, our local accounting person who we've done business with for years. She's seen our ups and downs, helped us with new business start-up options, and is very accessible. She also comes to our home to discuss our taxes for our convenience. 

Because I'm a small, local business, I treasure the clients who choose me for that reason. Sure, there are other, bigger and less expensive companies out there, most of whom have call centers and outsource their processing to other countries. When you choose the big companies in real estate photography, you lose the one-on-one service and the local photographer's vantage point. 

When agents choose me as their photographer, they are getting 100% personal service from scheduling to photographing to processing to working one-on-one to ensure they are happy with my services and products. 

When you choose local, you're supporting the local economy and contributing to your neighbor's well being. Thank you for choosing me as your local photographer!

One way I like to add a little spark and fun to my world is by getting creative.

A few things happen when we get creative. We think with the right side of our brains. This is something we forget to do as we get intrenched in our day to day filled with appointments, contracts, calendars, emails, etc. We use our left side to it's fullest and our right side can get a little stale. What better time to open ourselves up to new possiblities than the winter time when we're indoors much of the time? Using our right brain adds new dimensions to our thought process. We're more thoughtful and tend to use our intuition rather than relaying strictly on logic. I come up with some pretty nifty ideas when I'm playing in photoshop (my favorite creative outlet) because I'm not really thinking about all the left brain stuff.

How you choose to get creative is up to you - just know that when you're in a creative mind set - the possibilities are endless! ]]> (Coastal Light Photography) Tips & Tricks https://www.coastal-light.com/blog/2014/1/tip-this-season---get-creative Wed, 22 Jan 2014 11:15:00 GMT Dover Home - Beautiful Details Throughout https://www.coastal-light.com/blog/2014/1/dover-home---beautiful-details-throughout Beautiful floors, kitchen, appliances.

I love houzz. I get great ideas from their website and some perks for my own home and business.

One thing I love is reading many of the home stagers posts on clearing clutter and preparing a home for sale. I especially like this one posted by Laura Gaskill.

Above and Beyond! What I like to do for my clients. 


We all have vendors we prefer to use. Our favorites tend to enjoy doing little extras for their clients - mostly without ever having to be asked. I try to do that same thing for my clients.

One area of strength for me is my photoshop expertise. I've been a digital restoration specialist for 14 years so I've got more than a few tricks up my sleeve. I use these skills to help produce the best images for my clients. 

I strive for clean and balanced images. Most of the time I can do that through the camera, but sometimes there are things in the way, things that weren't left on or off, or things sellers may not have had time to take care of. 

I want to show you a few examples of what I've done recently. 
 
  1. Sign Removal - properties look more inviting without a for sale sign
  2. Replace a lightbulb - this example is from an empty house so the sellers didn't know the bulb was out 
  3. Fire added to a fireplace - the owner wasn't home to turn the fireplace on so I added the fire in post processing 
  4. Mulch anyone? We don't need that in the driveway so I removed it
Can I do anything? Of course not. But I can work some pretty good Photoshop magic! 

Happy Shooting!
Carolyn
 
Need a Seller Checklist to help them prep for our photo shoot? 

I've created one just for agents to hand out to their clients before the photo shoot. It explains why you are choosing to hire a professional and what they need to do to prepare their home for the photography shoot. 

Click here for a pdf version. I also have heavy card stock fold-over cards. Just send me a note if you'd like a few! There's even a space on the back for your information.

Copyright and Photography

I am often asked if real estate photography is protected by copyright laws, and the simple answer is, yes. I’d like to take a moment to shed some light on what this means to a homeowner or real estate agent who uses the services of a professional real estate photographer. 

Photography - like art, film, music and writing - is intellectual property of the creator and is automatically protected under copyright law. Only the creator can replicate, sell, or give away their work. When a professional photographer creates images of a property for commercial use, they sell what is called a “license-for-use” to the agent or homeowner. Utilizing images without this license or consent of the photographer, is in layman’s terms, "image plagiarism". This concept is no different than plagiarizing another person’s writing. 

So you may be asking yourself, “if I use a professional photographer to photograph my home or listing, how can I use those images?”

In the table below I have quickly outlined how those images can be used in a typical industry scenario.

CAN

CAN NOT

Advertise the property for sale

Manipulate the images

Use in marketing materials

Sell the images

Display on MLS and listing sites such as realtor.com

Give away the images

Use in a visual tour or slideshow

Present the images as their own

 

Why is owning copyright important for the photographer?  


Creating photographs is how a photographer makes their living. Copyright law protects images so we can do that. In the case of real estate or architecture photography, it is common practice for a license-for-use to be purchased for marketing and advertising by a real estate agent, architect, or builder and then also sold to an interior or kitchen designer who worked on the property. This is common practice in commercial work, as well as other areas of professional photography.

 

I hope this sheds some light for those who aren't familiar with copyright. Please let me know if you have any questions or wish to discuss. 
 
Tip of the Month! 

Get in the picture!

How many of us hate having our photo taken? I know I do! That's why I'm behind the camera - well that's not the only reason - but you knew that already.  

I saw this video recently and it gave me an little "a-ha" moment. I helped me realize that we tend to see the worst in ourselves while others see the beauty in us. 

The video shows a FBI trained sketch artist sketching various people as they describe themselves to him. He then sketches the same people, but described by someone else. The comparisons are truly remarkable, and show how other people truly see us as better than how we see ourselves. 

Video Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpaOjMXyJGk

Happy Shooting!
Carolyn

One of hardest things to do during the holidays is to find balance. We feel like we have a million things to do! Buy gifts, decorate the house, update our business plans for the upcoming year, and all the while, keep up with the day to day things we have to do, like laundry. How do we find the balance we need to actually enjoy the holiday season? I find that a day off here and there helps a ton! Grab a big mug of coffee or hot cocoa and follow up with those friends you keep meaning to say hello to whether it be via phone, facebook or a hand written note. Take a walk in the crisp, clean air. And all the while, keep the washing machine humming along in the background just for good measure. Some days we need a good "self" day to help keep us well balanced.

How to get Balance in your photography The main idea in photography is to capture a moment, a memory. With real estate photography, I want to capture the way a room feels and what it offers for the property. When I look at a room, I'm looking not only at the space, but how the objects are positioned, including windows and entrances. I'm figuring out how to show off the room but keep it balanced at the same time. For some rooms, straight on works wonders as in the example below. It defines the room and allows the viewer to see the space, the size table that fits comfortably 

23 Kings Rd York Web 24

Sometimes being "off-center" gives you more Balance When people are our main subject, we tend to think we need to center our subject. To add a little creativity and interest, try off-centering your subject a bit. You can do that in camera or by cropping afterwards. Most of the time, especially with consumer cameras, it's easier to center your subject to make sure the camera is focused properly. You can easily crop afterwords to make your image a little more interesting. Just make sure you leave some extra space around your subject. Here's an example of a little girl I photographed a couple of weeks ago that shows the difference between a centered subject and one off center just enough to add some interest. The photo that is off center is still well balanced even though the little girl is not in the center.

AS_before.1

AS_after

 

The same goes for the exterior of home. Sometimes centering a house is exactly what you want, as is the case with this photo.

Beech_Hill_Exeter_8_4_11_print_41

But, sometimes it's more beneficial to go off center which leads to more interest. 796_Shore_Rd_York__0002

As we move along through the holidays, try to be mindful of taking a break now and then, whether it be to enjoy a few moments of down time or taking a moment to visualize your balanced photo - both will make you smile and enjoy the warmth that the holidays bring this time of year.

Happy shooting!

For real estate, it takes away from the room. In life, it takes away from your subject. Who doesn't have a photo of someone on the beach, at an event or in a restaurant and there's a stranger in the background! Photographs are 2 dimensional. Our eyes can "eliminate" objects that don't belong, but the camera can't. So how do we avoid clutter?

Here are 3 ways to make your images less cluttered....

Move the object...

11 Osprey 4-2-12 05

In the case of real estate photography, moving "things" is a necessity. Even staging can be over-staged for the photo shoot. When I photograph a home, beside moving the obvious like furniture or kitchen appliances, I look for distractions that enter the camera frame. We want our potential buyers to focus on the space, not all the pretty objects in the space. You still need staging for photo shoots, but as a rule, "less is more". For example, a stager may set the dining room table. It's a great idea and adds interest to the room. For the photo shoot, leave out the little extras you might put on each person's place, or the individual little salt & pepper shakers, or anything else that would entice the viewer to wonder "what is that on the table?" You lose their attention and now they are fixated on the little objects when you really want them to look at how beautifully the light comes through the floor to the ceiling windows.

The same goes for real life photos. Move objects that are in the way. Say you're photographing your child "helping" you make cookies. On your kitchen counter behind the child are some dirty dishes. Move them into the sink or another counter so when you snap the photos, all you see is your child making cookies and not the dishes behind her/him. Anytime you think you may be taking a fun photo, look around before you get started and move those distractions.


Move the subject...

Sometimes you need to move the subject. Let's say you're at a park with your family and/or friends. You set up a few folks to take a photo and there's a branch just behind someone's head. How will that look in our 2 dimensional photo? Like a branch growing out of someone's head, right? If so, move the group over a bit so the branch is no longer an issue.
 

Move yourself...

The other way to get rid of the clutter or objects that are in the way, is to move your camera to a new spot. Find a new angle. In real estate photography, sometimes parts of rooms are, well, cluttered. We don't need to display the cluttered part of the home office, right? So I find a way to shoot the room without exposing the cluttered area, which means I have to move around a bit to get a better shot. The same works in real life. If that shot of your family/friends has to be in front of that branch, move over a couple of feet and see if a new spot for the camera makes the difference.

Happy shooting!

They provide a home with character and give us a sense of our outside world.

Windows can have a huge impact on the sale of a home. Many of the windows in the homes I photograph have breathtaking views - the ocean, ponds, rivers, marshes, fields and woods. Although sometimes the views are not so amazing. For example, they may feature a view of the neighbor's bedroom. In this case we don't want to emphasis the view but we still want to showcase the windows in a way that will give the home a comfortable and inviting feel.

Windows should be "dressed" to either enhance or, as in the case of a neighbor's bedroom, obscure their view. So how do we make sure our windows really shine in photographs? Declutter, clean, and dress.

  • Declutter - removed window "decorations" - keep it simple. Remove glassware and miscellaneous objects from sills and frames.
  • Clean - windows cannot be clean enough! Clean them inside and outside. Paint or stain the trim. Wash the curtains or blinds.
  • Dress them up or down - replace worn curtains and blinds or remove them altogether if the view permits. Using a home stager, such as my friend and colleague Beth Frede, can be a huge benefit. She can help you choose new window treatments or suggest removing them altogether.

Now that the windows are ready, how do you present those amazing views in photographs without making the rooms too dark? That's where I come in. As your professional real estate photographer, I have the expertise and necessary equipment to capture both your room and your view beautifully.
