Svetlana

Every home has a story. From my prior decade-long career as a residential real estate agent, there’s one marketing principle that heavily influences the photography I deliver today: buyers don’t connect with walls and roofs—they connect with stories. Every home has a story that’s waiting to evoke fond memories or inspire the possibilities of tomorrow. Pictures can show what’s there, but well-crafted images will command attention. As your marketing partner, my goal is to empower your listings with an authentic visual narrative that speaks to the buyer’s heart and leaves no doubt that this is their next home." Over the years, I have built strong relationships with realtors, home owners, interior designers, builders, architects and I continue to work with many of those I started with. The collaboration with each client is very important to me and I treat each shoot as its own work of art, crafting an individual look for each unique property or project. Of course, a lot of my success wouldn't be possible without my wonderful team. Meet the team:

Craig

Craig is an invaluable asset to our photography team, working alongside with me and picking up all the extra load of work. Craig is a talented photographer and storyteller. After studying Journalism at High Point University of North Carolina, Craig has been able to couple his knowledge of the craft with his passion for photography. When not out on photo assignments he likes to get outdoors and rack up huge amounts of mileage. He walks up to 22 miles 3 days a week—who needs a gym membership? Our team's success rests greatly on his shoulders and we're fortunate to have him as part of the team.

Lia

Lia is not just my sister-in-law, she is an amazing photographer based in Dover, Delaware. Back in high school she found her passion for photography and has managed to turn it into more than just a hobby! We’re lucky to have her as part of our team. She's always reliable, enthusiastic, and her photography skills are off the charts! Alongside being a phenomenal photographer, Lia is also an FAA-licensed drone pilot—so you know she means business! When not taking stunning photos or soaring through the sky she is enjoying quality time with her family.

Jeff

Jeff is our FAA drone pilot and we can't say enough great things about him. He is an exceptionally dependable and talented individual, not to mention a really kind guy. Flying a drone for us provides Jeff with an opportunity to escape the demands of his own business: Abstract Solutions LLC, a title company he founded after moving to the beach in 2005. Jeff especially loves flying his drone for grand events such as the world-famous White Marlin Open. It's become a favorite hobby of his and with his ever-improving skill set, there's no limit to what he can create in the sky!

Alina

Alina is an incredibly hardworking and valuable member of our team. She carries an impressive MBA degree and has a laser-like focus on multiple projects at once, ensuring everything in our company runs like clockwork. Her commitment to excellence shows in all facets of her job, from the management of the online booking system and customer inquiries to her help with photo styling. She's also highly adept at creating unique 3D tours and ensuring that your photos arrive promptly. Away from work, Alina loves enjoying quality time with her family. Absolutely multi-talented and her work ethic makes her an all-around superstar!
