What’s included in the photo or video packages?

  • Professionally edited high-resolution images taken from a bracketed exposure

  • Quick turnaround (usually 24–48 hours)

  • Premium drone footage and aerial stills

  • MLS-optimized and social media-ready formats

Need something tailored? Just ask — we do custom packages.

Do you only work with real estate agents?

Nope! While we partner with many real estate agents, brokers, and property managers, we also serve Airbnb hosts, builders, interior designers, local businesses, and anyone looking for high-quality media content.

Do you use drones for your shoots?

Yes — we’re fully FAA Part 107 certified to fly drones commercially. Our drone photography and aerial video services are perfect for large listings, land, construction progress tracking, and even roof inspections.

How long does a typical photo or video shoot take?

Most residential shoots take between 30–90 minutes, depending on the size and type of media requested. Larger or multi-service shoots may take longer. We always show up early to plan the best shots.

How do I book a shoot?

You can book directly online or contact us to discuss your needs. We’ll confirm the details, availability, and next steps so your shoot goes smoothly.

How can I prepare the property for a shoot?

We’ll send a prep checklist before your shoot. A clean, clutter-free space with natural light makes a huge difference. Open the blinds, turn on lights, and stage the space for success.

Will I own the photos and videos?

Yes — you’ll receive full usage rights for marketing, MLS, websites, social media, and print. We reserve portfolio rights unless you request otherwise.

How much do your services cost?

Pricing depends on the package and scope of the job. We offer straightforward, competitive rates with no surprise fees. Visit our Pricing Page for full details or reach out for a custom quote.
