❄Forecasting fail for the win.❄

I had scheduled this job out over a week in advance for what was going to be the first truly sunny day we’ve had in weeks. Clearly, the forecast was off by a day.

So, rather than sun, we had a misty fog — which turned out to be perfect.

Every branch, twig, and pine needle was coated in frost, and the fog settled in just enough to make everything feel calm, quiet, and a little unreal.

Not the weather I planned for, but absolutely the weather this place deserved.

Email Campaigns

We’ve spent a lot of time walking into businesses, shaking hands, and introducing ourselves. That face‑to‑face connection matters.

But not every business has a storefront. We don’t either.

That’s where email campaigns become powerful.
They help people see our work, recognize our name, and remember us when the moment is right. It’s not always about immediate business—it’s about building familiarity. And being known is one of the most underrated tools in business.

If you need help getting seen, staying top‑of‑mind, or putting together an email campaign that actually works, we’d love to help.

Days like today.

It's crazy out there in the world, today and every day.

As Andrea and I worked on a job today, there was this moment. I watched as she carried the camera bag back up to the property and I smiled to myself thinking of just how great my life is and had to capture the moment. I am entirely grateful for her support as I follow this dream of mine, and her desire to help me be successful. How much more time it has given us together and to be with our children is a blessing.

I have won in life in so many ways, and nearly all of them flow through you.

She's the best.

Find your reason to be grateful today and every day.

This is what creative stagnation looks like.

After hours of trying to find the right music to fit your promo perfectly, you find yourself thinking something will work. So you drop it on the timeline.

Then you realize it sounds like you are making a target range promo for the Predator...

🎥 My philosophy on real estate videos~

Not every room deserves equal screen time.

When you’re shooting a listing, your job isn’t to document everything (unless that's what your client wants)—it’s to highlight the features that actually sell the home.

- The kitchen
- The primary bedroom
- The primary bathroom

These are the emotional decision-makers. This is where buyers imagine their routines, their comfort, their family. So give these spaces the screen time they deserve.

Everything else?
A quick, clean blip in the reel. Enough to show the flow, not enough to kill the vibe of the show.

Focus on what sells, and your videos will do the same.

Friends!

If you know a real estate agent who’s tired of listing photos that look like they were taken with a flip phone, please… send them my way.

Tell them I’m fun, I’m fast, and I won’t judge their clients’ collection of decorative roosters... Much. True story BTW.

Share this with your favorite agent or tag them in the comments so I can make their listings look more HGTV and less Craigslist.

Tried something different with this one.

Floor plan meets photo dump.

Because sometimes, you just want to see the layout and the rooms without scrolling forever.

I LOVE KPIs (Key Performance Indicators for the non-business folks.)

They show the impact behind the work — the ambition, the miles traveled, the time spent, the moments captured. In reality, this is a March-December year in review, and here are a few bits of insider information that showcase our first year of operation.

Thank you to every client, collaborator, and friend who gave me leads & trusted me with your projects this year. I tracked the entire journey, and the numbers paint a pretty incredible picture.

Tap through for the full wrap‑up.

I got a duck for Christmas.
His name is Walter and he has chosen me as his person.

If you need me, I’ll be over here discussing creative direction with my new feathery coworker.

Day 9 of 13 with the kids home from school due to illness & holiday break. Hope everyone is having a more productive day than me.
