Professional Photos Can Help Sell Your Home

In a previous post, we mentioned a recommendation from the Today Show, to invest a small amount in professional photographs to help sell your home.

With more people than ever researching new homes online, you may only have one chance to make a good5 impression.

Take a look at the photos below to see how professional photos can help show the size and personality of your home.

We've posted a few amateur photos as well so you can compare. The difference is noticeable.

Reach out to us directly or ask your realtor to contact us about rates and availability: JKPhotoworksTC@gmail.com. You can see more photos at http://www.jkphotoworks.com/

Fun with Light

One of the fun things about light is that it can really change the mood of a photograph. Light can take a photo from solemn to silly or from sweet to scary and back again. Take a look at some of the photos below and see how light (along with facial expressions in some of them) really defines the photograph.

Susan & Jim - Tie the Knot with a Bang!

Had a great time shooting Susan and Jim's big day a couple weeks ago. The best part? It was at a venue quite literally a two minute drive from home! They had all the usual wedding day activities, ceremony, dinner, dancing, cutting of the cake, etc. with one little extra item on the agenda for the evening. They wanted to finish the night with a fireworks display... The tricky part was lighting the bride and groom and also having the fireworks show up in the exposure. I experimented with the lighting a bit and dragging the shutter and I think we ended up getting some pretty cool results.

Enjoy!

Senior Portraits: Amanda

A few weeks ago we shot some great senior portraits with Amanda who recently graduated from Traverse City Central. Amanda wanted to try something unique and pose with a horse.

This was our first time working with people and large animals for shots, but they were both great models. The horse's owner even had commands like "ears up!" to make sure we got some great shots!

Check out the results and remember that now's the time to get those portraits done for Senior Year!

Happy Independence Day! Frankfort, MI

There's nothing like the Fourth of July in Northern Michigan. This year, we skipped the Traverse City fireworks and made the drive out the Frankfort. We really think they do an amazing job out there and it's funded solely with donations.

Check out some of the beautiful shots we got this year. Can you believe these photos are untouched! The light was great. The photos really reminded us of a laser light show, so bright and full of color with the gorgeous contrast of Lake Michigan.

We hope that your Fourth was this lovely!
