This episode could've had multiple titles! Like "He Shoots and She Scores" With Keith Isaac or "The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth" With Keith Isaac!

Either way, we sit down with professional photographer Keith Isaac who has over 15 years of experience and has grown his business and reputation "shot for shot" and "house for house" in SWFL organically. Keith is a legend in his own right and a go-to in real estate photography in South Florida.

He's even been accused by some in the business including Emily for being "Too Good" that she now tells him "Do a Good Job, Not a Great Job!"

Over those years Keith has accumulated quite a few stories and has seen some things from one extreme to the next. Nazi Shrine? Clown Porn? Ever witness a live Deer murder? Keith has.

We also find out Keith is very observant and also has an amazing memory.

Neighborhood whack job? Jess shares a story.

We discuss everything from dolls... jugs, panthers, and cougars to covering up grandpa.
