I’m with J. P. King

I know the majority of what I post on here is photography-related. Photography has been a recent hobby of mine that I’ve really gotten into, but it’s not my full-time job. It’s something I enjoy to do on the side at reasonable prices for people because I don’t have to do it full time. On a 40+ hours a week basis, I work as the communications manager for J. P. King, a luxury real estate auction marketing firm. I primarily focus on public relations and social media and tying the two together. When you combine the way PR is changing because of technology and social media along with the fact that I’m dealing with a completely different media base for every event (J. P. King has worked in all 50 states — just this past week, we were in Oregon, Wyoming and Tennessee), it keeps me on my toes, and it’s challenging. Or, it’s challenging to me, at least, but I need that in a job.

Like I mentioned earlier, we were in three states last week, and I worked two of those sales: a luxury estate in the mountains of Big Horn, Wyo., and 18 lofts in Memphis, Tenn. Both went well, as we sold the Wyoming property for $2.09 million and the Pie Factory Lofts for $1.16 million. Here are a few photos to highlight the events.

I could wake up to that view every morning. How about you?

Double H Ranch in Big Horn, Wyoming

Double H Ranch will be the new home of these two. That was on Thursday, and on Saturday, we were in Memphis. The lighting in the ballroom was terrible for photos, so I hope you can excuse the quality.

At each of our events, J. P. King brings in food and a musician. This is Davis with one of our project managers, Grant. We get Davis for as many of our sales as we can. Because he’s awesome.

This is Lanny, one of our finest auctioneers.

And Scott, a forth-generation auctioneer at J. P. King and an agent for this sale.
