PPA Merited Class

Cherry Valley Hotel

Real estate photography is one of the most accessible and consistently in-demand niches in the industry — and in this full-day precon workshop, Suzanne Luttig will show you exactly how to do it well and build a business around it.

Step beyond simply taking photos and learn how to create real estate media that tells the story of a property while building a profitable business. In this hands on class, Suzanne Luttig, Master Photographer, Certified Professional Photographer, real estate media specialist, and REALTOR® with Nebraska Realty and Timeless Nebraska Media shares the techniques, workflows, and business strategies she has developed while working directly in the real estate industry since 2015.

Attendees will learn how to photograph interiors and exteriors with purpose, use composition and lighting to create emotion and connection, and deliver media that helps listings stand out in a competitive market. Topics include camera settings, HDR and flambient techniques, twilight photography, drone integration, floor plans, 360 tours, virtual staging, storytelling composition, and efficient shooting workflows designed for fast turnaround times.

Beyond photography, this course also dives into the business side of real estate media including working with agents, creating upsells, pricing services, branding, social media marketing, AI tools for marketing efficiency, and building long term client relationships that generate repeat business and referrals.

Whether you are just entering the real estate photography industry or looking to elevate your current business, this class will provide practical real world insight into creating media that not only looks professional but also helps properties sell and businesses grow.

Due to the hands-on portion, registration is limited to twelve students.

Lunch is provided.
