Collector’s Cafe Catches Fire
We had already heard the fire engines from our home, 5 blocks away, when a call from the newsroom came in. That’s never a good sign.
Why & How we are Working During Covid
After careful consideration, we will remain open and available for hire during this pandemic.
Many photographers in my field did in fact stop working in occupied homes or altogether for their own personal reasons.
I felt it was my duty to help service homeowners and realtors that want or absolutely need to sell their properties.
Staying Safe
It is my policy to wear a mask and gloves at all properties from the moment I arrive until I leave.
Whether I touch a light switch or need to enter through a public space, such as an elevator, I consider this an essential safety measure for my clients and my health.

During this difficult time, realtors and homeowners can find comfort knowing that our virtual services will provide the highest level of marketing with the lowest level of contact and in-person showings.
By using a 3D virtual tour or video walkthrough on your listing, buyers can visually explore the property at their own pace, from their own home.
I am happy to report we have successfully helped many elderly and 2nd home owners sell their properties quickly, even during this pandemic.
“My house was on the market for 10 days, on the 10th day, I had 4 offers, and I actually sold my house for more money than we had it on the market for… 20,000 dollars more than asking price!”
I’m so happy we could help you Mrs Huggins. Receiving testimonials like this make it all worthwhile!

Feature: Myrtle Beach Bounces Back from Dorian
‘What’s Dorian?’: Myrtle Beach back to business as usual after little damage
It was business as usual in Myrtle Beach on Friday following Hurricane Dorian.
Despite the strong winds and flooding the area experienced when Dorian slammed the South Carolina coast on Thursday, residents were out and about on the beach, either soaking up the sun, exercising, seashell hunting or using metal detectors to discover what washed up along the shore.
