RobertaArt and Design Photographer
Roberta provides an artist's creativity and watchful eye to every one of our Northwest Business Photography photoshoots. Many of our most unique, funny, surprise, entertaining and memorable advertising images result from her watchful eye on-site. She also has her own professional photography systems and takes a pretty mean photograph, too. And, if you have a vacant property for sale or rent, Roberta has been there/done that. Roberta has staged homes for sale literally across the U.S., such as Washington, Nebraska, Texas, Wisconsin, Maryland, Arizona... When she virtually staged the home shown below it sold the same week...after setting vacant on the market for a year. Another of her recently staged homes sold in three days for $22,000 over even the realtor's recommended list price. Knowing that houses, condos and vacation rentals move quicker if online listing photos show fine furnisings, Roberta has an inventory of thousands of furniture and fixture items on file, to virtually furnish spaces that are totally vacant. We take professional "glamour portraits" of your vacant spaces. Then, after Roberta does her digital magic, we return photos of your finely furnished property. It really works!...take a look at this before/after photographic proof of what her tools recently did to transform a Baltimore listing...a townhouse that had sit vacant over a year, then a successful sale the week of this virtual staging. |
Roberta has been a fiber artist (weaver) and water color/oils painter for decades, specializing in creating outdoor scenery images designed to evoke a specific emotion by the viewer. She has also proven her talent at "staging" food and specialty products for glamour portraiture. She has a talented eye for light, color, contrasts and textures, plus a keen understanding how to unleash the power of high dynamic range photography. Think of Roberta as your "culinary artist." Not to mention her good sense of what appeals to home buyers and shoppers searching online. Her work will surprise and delight you.
