Whether you’re looking for a new home or hoping to sell, professional real estate photos are vitally important. Check out this beautifully updated ranch on quiet Kriswood Lane that we recently photographed for realtor Shanna Lafontaine. It has a completely remodeled bathroom with a large jetted tub, an updated kitchen, and a finished rec room perfect for a naturally cool home office or den!

Because of our no-hassle print release for all projects, sometimes we’re surprised to see our pictures in use months after they were delivered to the client. Such was the case with this ad. The photos were originally taken for use in their 2009 annual report. Imagine our pride and surprise when we were out with friends in the fall of 2010 and saw our photos flash across the TV screen of the pub we were in during the following video ad!
We were recently asked to pull together an impromptu jewelry shoot for the lovely and talented local artist, Marilyn Parker.

To see more of Marilyn’s work, please visit her at the Sherrie Gallery.
Fiber artist Georgie Cline stopped by the studio for some professional headshots as well as some photographs of her art.

After her session, here’s what Georgie had to say…
For a person who hates to have her picture taken, LightSwitch Creative provided a very relaxing and comfortable atmosphere, so the result great picture of myself. They also took pictures of my art work, the images are great. Thank you LightSwitch for a great time.
Ok, so we technically haven’t even launched the site yet and we’re still pulling content over from GroovyDoodle and building stuff and blah, blah, blah. But our brains are on hyperdrive. I mean, just because you don’t know we exist yet doesn’t mean we don’t have lots of great ideas to share. And so, here it is: our first (non-existent) blog post.
Bright Idea: How to Take Jewelry Pics
I was wandering around on a web forum the other day, and came across some photos taken by someone who makes and sells hand-crafted bridal jewelry. Her stuff was really cute. Really. But her pictures… were horrible. Here were these little, tiny finely-detailed beaded works of art lying on grainy wood stumps in shadow that totally camouflaged any detail there was to be seen. We’ve got lots of friends who make jewelry and even a chain maille client, so we understand that for you folks who make one-of-a-kind hand-crafted things that you’re going to sell on Etsy, paying a professional photographer to shoot each piece isn’t realistic. And so… here’s some free advice from the the pros on how to do it yourself.
While doing some research on how to reach more potential clients, I ran across some interesting internet search statistics. In the last 30 days, 90,500 people in and around Columbus have searched for keywords like “to sell house” or “house for selling” or even “sell house prayer”, not to mention the big hitters like “home sale”, which had over 20 million hits in the Columbus area alone last month. It’s obvious that people are searching for ways to differentiate their homes from the thousands of others available in this saturated market. Who doesn’t know someone who’s got a home for sale right now?
We were recently asked, “Do you do house photography?” by one of our regular GroovyDoodle family photo clients. Of course we do! Here are a few of our favorites of her lovely Columbus-area home, including one of the super cool man-cave. To see more, check out the full listing.

Update: Our client checked in on July 6th with an update on her listing. Her realtor is reporting a “big spike in showings this week”, just one week after we sent over the photos. Here’s what our client had to say…
… [W]e definitely increased viewings online, and we had our first showing since April…all because of the pictures.
Our friend and long-time client Devon Palmer, a talented local woodturner invited us over to his studio to try our hands at turning a couple of pens. Having never used a lathe before, it was definitely outside our normal comfort zone but totally worth it. Check out the finished product that Mel made and gave her dad for Father’s Day!
