Real Estate Photography in Austin could be a full-time occupation, an obsessive hobby, or something to do for fun just because you CAN!
You may have seen me lurking around your neighborhood, snapping photos, scribbling notes. You may have wondered what the heck that person was doing – the one that doesn’t even seem to notice the hustle and bustle of this vibrant city swirling around her and she steadies the camera to snap a photograph.
Oh, I DO notice the vibrancy of this city, and that is why I’m out there day after day, looking at property for clients, and taking photographs of Austin and the city’s glorious and varied neighborhoods whenever I get a chance. Most real estate web sites show photos of homes for sale. I wanted to show you even more of what you might be getting when you select a neighborhood for your new home, especially if you’ve heard rave reviews about it, but may not have actually hopped into the car and taken a spin through the area.
Sometimes I do just take photos of houses, particularly when I’m in a neighborhood like Travis Heights and can’t peel myself away from the FABULOUS colors and materials in use on homes, new, old and renewed. For those areas, Market reports can come later, after the itch has been scratched for real estate photography, not real estate market blogography (yes, I DID just say that!!).
When you read one of my Market Reports (search for that term in the search bar at the upper right) for an Austin subdivision or real estate market area, you’ll get details about a neighborhood and photos of more than just houses – you’ll get photos of the neighborhood as well, including local businesses, landscaping, and occasionally a fantastic skyline view of downtown Austin.
So, if you see a woman toting her camera, and occasionally a few extra kids, who appears to be mesmerized by her photographic subject, please come over and introduce yourself, and tell me all about YOUR neighborhood and when the pix gets posted, they’ll have even more of that Austin flair that makes this fabulous city our HOME.

That is great idea! So often when people shop for homes, they’re drawn to the pictures of the house when the neighborhood could be just as big of a deciding factor.
I can see where this would be very beneficial, especially if you’re also looking for safe streets and things for your kids to do in a neighborhood.
