The Monday That Didn't Go As Planned
I woke up this morning with the kind of energy you only have for a shoot you've been looking forward to. Camera bag packed the night before. Outfit changes mapped out.

Personal Branding Photography for Realtors: The Complete Guide for Real Estate Professionals in MetroWest Boston
In real estate, you are the product. Before a client ever meets you, before they read your reviews, before they see a single listing — they see your face. On Zillow. On your brokerage website. On LinkedIn. On the postcard that landed in their mailbox last Tuesday. Your photo is working 24 hours a day. The question is whether it's working for you or against you.
