Two part question, are you more of a Master of Marble Solitaire or a Grand Master at Chess? And anyone else planning to binge watch The Queen's Gambit on Netflix this weekend?

We can't help but invision the possibilities when we shoot homes that have been well loved. Seeing what the pro's invision when we shoot an "after" is always such a bonus.

We loved capturing the combintation of Heritage Home Charm and Modern Updated in this stunning heritage home in Ajax. Check out this Luxury Listing Video and stick around for the jaw dropping wine cellar in the basement!

Did you remember to turn your clocks back? Except the one for your car, those are impossible...

Meet the man behind the mask! You may have already seen him around shooting homes, capturing realtors on camera or even witnessed him deep in concentration as he plans out his next shot. Adam joins us with an videography background in corporate and visual storytelling!

This Coming Soon Teaser with location shots got us so excited we had to pull straws for who got to go back for the interiors! This stunning home lived up to the hype! @themaryroyteam

Now that the cooler weather is around the corner, what tiny structure would you prefer in your back yard as the leaves start to fall? A storage shed that doubles as an quiet excape or a snug little sauna to leave the worries of the day behind in?

We love coming up with new stories to tell for our Lifestyle Videos. This stunning 5 (yes five) bedroom home in Courtice takes centre stage! Cindy & Craig Real Estate Ltd.

Cozy sweather season starts today. Grab your pupkin spice latte or cinnimon apple cider and celebrate.

I've meet many inspiring people along the journey of operating a real estate photography business. One of the great bonuses is learning their stories, laughing along side them and supporting one others businesses. Marg & Ed of Home Transitions Corporation are among the people who added to the joy of what I do everyday. (Even that time they surrounded my with potted plants in a service elevator during a big office stage in Toronto). I wish them continued success and ...fullfillment as they transition away from staging to focus on interior design exclusively. I popped into their warehouse on Thursday (by appointment of course) and did not leave empty handed. I wanted to share with all of you these great pieces before the doors close. Monica Owner of Homes in Focus https://hometransitionsandstaging.com/inventory-sale/ (

On August 29th Monica participated in the Ride to Conquer Cancer with two amazing teams cycling through Oshawa and Clarinton. Ryan captured the day, in true Ryan fashion, somehow being everywhere at once with Drone, Video and 360 cameras. Although not real estate related, we wanted to share this snippit of the talent and dedication Ryan brings to everything he shoots. Our team here at Homes in Focus does not take forgranted Ryans skill and dedication. #RideOn

Would you convert your unused garage into a Fitness Studio or let your creative side win with an Art Studio?

Feature Sheets are that take home piece that remind potential buyers of your listing long after the showeing is over. Ask us about Feature Sheet options for your next listing.

When the location is as great as this Condo offers, the best way to show it off is by adding it into the tour! Ask us about location shots. Jessica Hornung, Broker - Coldwell Banker R.M.R Real Estate Brokerage

What front door are your guests knocking at for your first big dinner party after this pandemic is over?

Cars, Boats and those pesky storage Pods, no match for our photoshop skills. Ask us about Complex Editing options when that last minute thing didn't get done intime for photo day!

The privacy offered in this subdivision oasis is captured beautifully with our Drone Photography.

What's your preferred spot to read a book by the lake? This or That?

If you stare at this photo long enough you can almost hear the hum of the mini bar! (Who thought we'd be missing hotel stays so much this summer?). After shooting this space for Lesley Wong Interiors we have such an appreciation for how the right designer can positively impact the guest and housekeepings experience in the space. @lesleywonginteriors

Twilight Conversion is a great option to make that first MLS photo a real Money Shot! The magic of editing allows us to shoot the home during the day without the need for a second appointment. Check out the EXTRA's section of our website for more information.

Skip the kool-aid and cheezies, this space is reserved for white wine and cheese boards! @readysetstaged

We're Back! Stay tuned for more details tomorrow.

As a non essential businesses we have been closed to the public to help contain the spread of Covid-19. But we have not abondoned you! Today we want to offer some tips on making the most of your phone when taking photos.

Counting the minutes until we can shoot again... Hello Everyone, Our community is in the midst of an unprecedented and overwhelming experience as we take advice from government leaders and public health officials to do our part to contain the spread of COVID-19.... As business ownerw this is a particularly confusing time for all of us as we attempt to balance safety and social responsibility with the needs of our clients. Of course, we understand the importance of great photos, video, 3D tours and drone footage to market homes. Shortly after the pandemic was declared, Homes in Focus continued to provide service using safety measures and precautions to protect our clients, homeowners and our employees. However, as the situation evolved, it became clear that Homes in Focus could not continue to provide photography services while also ensuring the safety of others during this pandemic. This was an incredibly difficult decision as our clients and their business needs are critically important to our success as a company. We greatly value our client relationships and appreciate the partnership we have built over the years. We are also touched by the outpouring of support from our clients since we announced our decision to temporarily cease operations. We appreciate the kind words and understanding as we look forward to continuing our relationship at the conclusion of this pandemic. I am still here behind the scenes working on ideas to keep things running. Please continue to reach out to me as I do wish to offer any assistance I can to support your business. We hope everyone remains safe and healthy as our society works through this unprecedented time. Regards, Monica Donahue Owner, Homes in Focus

To our Valued Clients, Due to changing Health Regulations and Advisements by the Public Health Agency of Canada, It is with great difficulty I announce that Homes in Focus will be suspending service until further notice. As all of us are trying to adjust to the global health and economical challenges that Covid-19 is presenting us with, we had hoped the recent precautions we had adopted would allow us continued service to our clients. As new information and direction c...omes forward from Health Canada, the wellbeing and safety of our team members, clients and homeowners has to take priority at this time. As a small business owner this decision was not made lightly. Homes in Focus started in a spare room in my home 7 years ago and evolved to a team of 5 amazing individuals. I consider our clients to be an extended part of the Homes in Focus family and not being able to support your listings at this time is challenging to accept. I have the greatest respect for your work and what you are facing in the coming weeks. There are many situations where postponing a listing is not an option and I acknowledge that you are navigating your way through this as well. I appreciate your understanding and support. Please continue to reach out with anything I may be able to assist with. We all hope to be back with cameras in hand soon. Stay safe, Monica Donahue Owner Homes in Focus

An apple a day, keeps the doctor away! Does it work the same for superstitions of bad luck on Friday the 13th? Asking for a friend....

Hills Moving, always thinking of how they can make a tough situation better. Hat's off to this local company.

Loving the eclectic feel of this bedroom. So many unique details to draw the eye in, along with the lively complimentary colours. It's a visual delight!

This amazing drone picture gives a fabulous overhead view of this home. It shows any potential buyers exactly what they are getting, which can be difficult with larger rural properties. Make sure to add drone photography to your next listing!

There's something special about a room with a view. The gorgeous deep window sills in this century home was a feature we were thrilled to highlight! Simple, yet beautiful.

Here we GROW again! Looking for people who crave a new challenge every day with a background in Photography and or Videography. Must have the ability to communicate in GIF's with the rest of the team and open to learning! email [email protected] for more information.

Monday's can be challenging. Hit the snooze button one more time, and enjoy this beautiful bedroom! Imagine waking up surrounded by this crisp decor, ready to face the week. Up and at em folks....you got this!

We love the way this picture draws the viewer's eye down into the beautiful curving staircase. Such a gorgeous, yet subtle, feature of this home! It was fun to capture it from this angle for everyone to enjoy.

Once again, it's the little things that make all the difference! This picture promises elegance and luxury, while showcasing the beautiful natural light flooding into the room. Let us work our photographic magic when you list your property.

This beautiful character property is a breath of fresh air on a damp and gray Monday! Nothing catches the eye in a listing like curb appeal, and this house had tonnes of it. Like an interesting cover on a book, it gets your attention....you can't wait to discover what's inside.
