So, the first problem is where on earth is Urich, MO. Second problem, Urich, MO doesn’t have a Quick Trip. I don’t mind being sent to the far corners of America’s Midwest to shoot houses but sending me to towns without a QT is like sending an astronaut on a space walk without being tethered. It can get very dicey.

Well, to my delight I rolled up to this house and thought I had walked on the set of Disney’s Tangled. Gorgeous home in a great historic neighborhood. And, as it turned out. Urich has a nice Casey’s. Which is almost as good as Quick Trip!!!

Shooting in St. Joseph is always kind of a wildcard. These older towns always keep you guessing what you may be walking into. This home was a joy because it’s rare to see these historic listings so completely updated. Enjoy this history tour.

Whenever I first arrive at a listing to shoot, I always like to walk through first and pickup the vibe. Every home reflects the people living there. Pinball machine in the living room – bachelor, airplane memorabilia – pilot, well designed – fans of HGTV.

But every now and then you enter a home with a very unique style. This agent has a knack for bringing me Kansas City landmarks. I love the feel of this home. The owners are truly lovers of art and I would love to sit in this living room and talk about the French Renaissance.

West Village Realty has a tradition that all their listings look like they came out of a West Elm catalog. This recent home demonstrates my point. Up the hill from the Plaza, this beauty not only has significant renovations but perfect interior design. Check out the Primary Closet.

One of my favorite moments every year. The veterans leading the Lenexa 4th of July Parade and everyone standing for the flag.

I know a top priority for most families when evaluating a new home are the schools. But, for me it’s how close is the house to a really good taco spot. This gorgeous listing in the Brookside area has been totally updated but what really got my attention was that it was walking distance to Brookside Barrio.

Had to earn it on this one. Sent out to Hallbrook to shoot some follow up images for this listing. The difficulty is the house, like so many Hallbrook homes, is a country mile long with a small front yard. So, I’ve got to back up to about the Plaza to get far enough away to shoot the entire front of the house. But, the home is gorgeous and shows well.

It’s been my policy to avoid using my page as a platform to express my personal opinions. Unfortunately, a particular issue has been clawing at me and I can no longer remain silent.

Lines wrapped around Whataburger? Seriously! I finally had a chance to try one of these overly-hyped burgers recently. The hamburger had this soupy feel to it like I almost needed a spoon. Lettuce looked like the exact same stuff I buy in a bag from Hy-Vee. Fries were stale and cold. And, the much talked about ketchup that I specifically requested never showed up in my bag.

Look, it was a good burger. But, I’m missing what all the hoopla is about. I’m rapidly coming to the conclusion that great athletes don’t necessarily make good food critics.

I shoot a fair number of listings for construction company MOJO Built. Besides their drop-dead gorgeous designs and unflinching eye for detail they have this Passion For Excellence vibe that permeates through everyone that works for them. Every job site comes complete with a large sign parked in the driveway reminding everyone that you’re the best and that’s why you’re here.

A few days ago, I was shooting one of their new builds and was upstairs when I noticed a plastic bag blew out of the garage and across the street. Now, this was one of those windy days with a storm moving in. If you waited just a bit, that bag would have been in Martin City in no time at all. Instead, a worker in the garage stopped what he was doing, got down off his ladder, went across the street to retrieve the bag and then inspected the other yards to make sure nothing else blew loose.

I love seeing people that care not just about their job but the entire organization they represent.

Photographed this amazing modern industrial home yesterday and completely fell in love. Gorgeous views and take a look at one of the best home offices I’ve ever seen. Perfect black couch in front of floor to ceiling bookshelves, bathroom, wet bar, and patio off the corner. My wife would never see me again if I had this.

Last summer I finished shooting a house in Olathe and as I walked towards my car, I happened to look down the street and saw this. The only thing missing is Andy Griffith playing his guitar on the front porch.

I’m totally ready for everything to start greening up!!!

Very Interesting shoot last week.

Very unique shoot last week.

02/01/2022

This last year has been an interesting time in the listings I’ve been photographing. Many are investment properties. But, what’s most intriguing is the number of investment properties purchased by the very agents I shoot for. AirBnb, Rental, Flips...you name it. I feel like I’m working for HGTV. Here’s a gorgeous property I photographed a couple months ago for an agent who purchased this duplex for a rental.

Platte City always intrigues me. Every time I go to shoot a listing out there the houses are sprawling, the interior design is always gorgeous, and the skies are constantly blue. It’s like if you want to buy a house in Platte City, you first have to get a degree in interior design and then you have to be willing to live inside a Bob Ross painting.

Baby it’s cold outside. But, sometimes those bare trees, frozen ground and a little snow can look pretty nice in photos. This listing in Lake Tapawingo (I love saying that word) sits right on the water. But, even with the trees bare the views from this listing are amazing.

Sometimes rules are best ignored. Rule #8, No seasonal décor when photographing a listing to go on the market. In this case, the house looked drop-dead gorgeous with the Christmas decorations. Totally loved it!!!

This was one of the more intriguing developments I’ve photographed in. Even though the homes were new the neighborhood was built with an old country feel. Fantastic environment.

Love shooting these grand homes in historic areas around Kansas City. The console stereo in the bar area is killing me!!!

I never thought of myself as sexist. But, while shooting this condo I casually asked the agent, “So, I take it he’s a pilot.” The agent replies, “No, she is.” Somewhat thrown off I try to regroup. “Really, for what airline?” Agent replies, “She flies the Stealth Bomber out of Whiteman AFB.” I packed up my camera equipment and sheepishly left.

I don’t know why, but when I first entered real estate photography I just assumed all I’d be shooting are young couples moving up life’s ladder. Obviously I was naive. That’s a small percentage of what I see. It’s also divorce, death in the family, too much house to maintain, etc.

So, it’s always with a heavy heart that I photograph houses where the widow is left alone. This home obviously was well taken care of and filled with memories. Traces of grandkids having the time of their lives were everywhere. You could feel it in every room.

To my pleasure, I talked with “grandma” while shooting and discovered she was a high school teacher and knew more about this world then I could ever learn. She was more than ready for the next chapter in her life.

I was raised in Prairie Village. Which is probably why I’m always in a good mood. So, when I go back to shoot a listing it’s with nothing but fond memories: Slushies at Topsy’s, the top 40 list each Friday at the Toon Shop, Cheese Soup at Waids.

Prairie Village homes have a special character and it’s with some alarm I see them being torn down so rapidly. This home was obviously cared for and brought up-to-date. I love the nearby creek that is integrated into the design and creates an almost island get-away.

I’m always amazed at some of the listings I shoot that are in the city but feel like you’re in the country. Just about ran for my checkbook on this gorgeous home with a large lot located in Merriam.

I’ve always driven my kids nuts by constantly asking them, “What have you done lately to make the world a better place?” Fortunately, they’ve always had a good answer. I’m privileged to be involved with a company, like IMOTO, that not only provides great photography for real estate agents but also works hard to better each of the communities that we serve.

I’m involved with a variety of Realtors that share this passion. I recently worked with an agent who asked me to shoot not just the listing but also photograph a neighborhood garden and a church that had recently been converted to a community center. I was honored and happy to contribute to the neighborhood. (I’m hoping the agent doesn’t mention that she also bought me the best tacos I ever had!)

I work with a variety of “flippers”, but I absolutely love this husband and wife team that work around the Urban KC area. They have incredible design skills and never miss a detail. I keep asking them to apply to HGTV but the wife refuses to wear high-heels while working.

I’ve shot listings with a view before but to have these downtown views and the Kauffman Center right outside your bedroom window is absolutely amazing. At night this place is a stunner.

I don’t know quite what it is, but I absolutely love this neighborhood near Armour in NKC. Streets are covered with large oak trees, every home has a porch, people are always outside waving to each other. I almost expect to see Andy Griffith sitting outside strumming his guitar.

Looking To Get Away From It All?

I put houses I shoot into two basic categories: those that have large swinging iron gates with a lake in the backyard and those that don't.

Insider Photography Tip for Agents:

If you need to schedule your listing for a photo shoot in the morning or late afternoon, think about where the sun is at. Is the sun sitting right over the roof line? Try to schedule so the sun is facing towards the front of the house not at the photographer.

In this case the listing was scheduled early in the morning with the sun rising directly over the roof line. With limited flexibility in angles and sun flare issues I elected to come back two hours later. Which in this case was not a problem since the listing was located near Taco Republic.
