When I first started in real estate photography, I had no idea where the journey would take me. Since 2016, I’ve had the opportunity to work with VHT Studios, capturing stunning properties across Chicagoland and refining my skills in architectural and real estate photography. Through this collaboration, I’ve expanded my services, incorporated new technology, and worked with some of the top real estate professionals in the area.
Getting Started in Real Estate Photography
My passion for photography led me to the real estate industry in 2016, where I quickly saw how high-quality images could transform a property listing. Initially, my focus was on high-resolution photography, helping agents showcase homes in the best possible light.
As technology advanced, so did my services. By 2020, VHT Studios introduced 3D tours, full-motion videos, and interactive floor plans—tools that I integrated to provide immersive experiences for buyers. In 2022, I expanded further, adding drone photography and video to capture properties from unique perspectives, offering a comprehensive visual marketing package.
