We're Published! The Dawn Treader in Washingtonian Magazine

One of the most exciting things about our focus on real estate photography has been seeing our work in unexpected places. While many of our photos wind up in MLS listings or marketing materials, we occasionally spot one in a different context. That happened in a big way, today, when we were thrilled to see a Swartz Photography image featured in Washingtonian Magazine!

Being published in a major periodical feels great in and of itself. But what makes this even sweeter is how much we love the property in the photo. The Dawn Treader is a vintage airstream trailer that's been updated and parked on a seriously scenic perch. Since we photographed it a year ago, it's gotten 135 reviews on Airbnb, where it's averaging a perfect five-star rating. Clearly, we're not the only ones who are smitten with the Dawn Treader!

The airstream is the smallest property we've ever photographed, but it has loads of character. Inside, it boasts a private bedroom, quaint kitchen, and full bathroom. Outside, there's an expansive deck with beautiful wooded views, a grill, a chiminea, and seating for a crowd. With so many thoughtful touches, there were no shortage of picturesque features for us to shoot! 

We had a great time working with Whitt and Martha, who rent out the airstream, a super-cool yurt, and a lodge that we've also photographed (more on those, soon!). They operate out of Cair Paravel Farm, a 60-acre sustainable homestead that produces pastured meats and organic vegetables, among other goods. Whether you choose to stay on site or just pick up some of their offerings, we highly recommend paying Cair Paravel a visit.

You can see more of our photos on the Dawn Treader's Airbnb page, which also provides plenty of details about the airsteam's amenities. We also, of course invite you to check us out in the June issue of Washingtonian! Like Whitt and Martha's property, our first feature publication might be small, but we hope it's the first of many to come.
