Photography – Sherry Short

Real estate and architecture photography has been a couple of my favorite areas to photograph. I still consider myself an amateur, but I can naturally highlight a homes best features with ease. If there was such a thing called the house whisperer, I would be it.

As I walk up to a place, whether I’m just out exploring, scoping out a new project or taking professional photos, I can almost hear the voices of the past calling me to come see their work. The house itself tells me a story of what once was, good or bad. Weird I know, but I do get vibes when I walk in a house. I’m not sure what those vibes are, but I can feel the energies that surround the house from the past and the present. My gift as a project manager is to see it’s future. I have that ability to see through the pain and neglect of it’s past that led it to it’s present state.

The house in the photo above is not one of my painting projects, but I admire this well thought out color scheme, using classic colors with a touch of modern design on a traditional style home. The tiled walkway and iron gate caught my attention along with the red door and charcoal exterior. I can’t remember what this house looked liked before, but the beauty and boldness caught my eye. It’s going to be opening up as a business in the near future and I will post more about it as time goes by, but I thought I would share someone else’s vision through the eye of my lens.

This past painting season had me painting a lot of front doors and I discovered something about myself that I didn’t know was there before. I absolutely love transforming the curb appeal of a home through a simple repaint of a front door. My next favorite thing is painting the area of the outside that is the feature or accent of the house. It’s different for every house. Sometimes the garage doors and sometimes it’s a comfy front porch. It all depends on angles and what one sees at first glance of the home. Sometimes it’s the front door itself.

I’m working on my 2016 portfolio of the projects I was involved in and this year’s theme was definitely about curb appeal. I have decided to add front doors under my specialty services blanket outlining the different options of beautifying front doors which include simple repaint color changes and the beauty of a gel stained door.
