Photography has always been something I’ve enjoyed doing. I recall watching my dad use his light meter, fiddle with the dial on his camera, and always create beautiful images. I too wanted to make images like he did. I started my interiors/architectural photography business out of necessity and a strong desire to help people. Back in 2003, my family decided to move to the Coast. We were living in Squamish at the time, and the most convenient and money-saving way to search for a house was online. As a buyer, if the pictures were bad, dimly lit, or of the couch in the living room, I would pass them by without a second thought. The online images were not good and really didn’t help us find a house. I ended up having to spend a lot of money, and I came to the Coast to search in person.
When we finally moved here, I knew that I could help. Not only I could help realtors, builders, designers, and architects promote themselves, their listings, and their work, but I was also helping the buyers—the folks searching from areas beyond the Coast. A home sells more quickly and gets more attention online with good-quality images, because people can see what it truly looks like; they begin to feel it. Savvy sellers are now looking for realtors who will present their biggest investment in the way it should be, with professional photography by First Impression Photography. Eleven years ago, curb appeal was the first impression people got when searching for a new home. But curb appeal has evolved into web appeal, and poor-quality images do not lend themselves well to web appeal. You get only one chance to make a First Impression.
