Can you do aerial/drone projects? Are you licensed and insured?
Yes and yes.
I am licensed with the FAA, follow all airspace regulations, and carry full liability coverage for all commercial drone flights.
I also have experience with traditional helicopter-aerial projects for more specialized imagery or if we need to shoot from higher altitudes that are unavailable to drone based services.
More Frequently Asked Questions
How much advance notice do I need to book a project?
2-4 weeks, ideally.
Commercial photography shoots can often take weeks of planning and preparation with very tight running schedules and deadlines. By providing as much advance notice as possible, we are better able to schedule and prepare for your shoot in a professional and reliable way.
How long does it take to receive final photos or video?
Most projects are delivered within approximately two weeks of the final shoot day.
Turnaround time depends on the scope of the project and the amount of post-production involved. Straightforward edits often move more quickly, while projects that require additional review, creative decisions, or more extensive finishing may take a bit longer.
If you’re working toward a specific deadline, it’s best to mention that early. With clear scope and planning, timelines can often be adjusted to accommodate priority needs.
I have a general idea of what I'd like, but want to leave the creative work to the professionals, is that ok?
Yes.
While we always encourage your involvement, we are professionals and with a well thought out and detailed plan we can be left to do what we always do best.
Note: Even when a project is left to our team to make key art direction decisions, we may still request your feedback.
Can you support ongoing or recurring clients?
Yes.
I regularly work with clients on ongoing and repeat projects, whether that’s maintaining a consistent image library, documenting updates over time, or supporting evolving marketing needs. When projects extend beyond photography, I can also collaborate with a trusted network of designers, retouchers, and production partners to ensure continuity and consistency across deliverables.
This approach allows for long-term relationships without locking projects into unnecessary structure or scale.
My business has a "brand/look" that we want to maintain, can your content match what we already have?
Yes.
I can take directive from examples of either (a) your current brand/look or (b) the brand/look you would like to emulate. The more branding and identity you have already established, the clearer our objective as photographers will be, and thus the better the entire project will turn out for you.
What services do you provide?
We make photos and videos.
We create photography and media of architecture spaces, food and beverage, product and retail, lifestyle and editorial and skilled drone/aerial coverage.
I have never hired a photographer before, where do I start?
Plan ahead.
Before inquiring, you should have a good idea of (a) how soon will you need the project done (b) whereabouts will the work take place and (c) what are some examples of what you want to achieve. It is also helpful to know who on your team will be the key decision maker/tie breaker, who will be the primary point of contact before, during, and after the shoot, and how much staff you have available to assist with the production process.
For the more detail oriented, feel free to review the AIA Best Practices Guide. Once you have a good idea of what your project might look like, give me a call at or shoot me an email to continue the planning process.
Do you offer services aside from photography?
Yes.
We offer additional services such as photo editing, retouching, graphic design, web design (we built this very website), SEO, social media management and more.
We also offer branding, marketing, and advertising consulting to help you create and maintain a cohesive visual identity.
What sets a “commercial photographer” apart from other photographers?
Experience.
Commercial photography, as with any specialty, requires its own unique set of skills, abilities and experience. From balancing light to working with perspective it takes years of training and practice to perfect all the nuances of commercial photography.
One of the key differences between a commercial photographer and other photographers, such as a real estate photographer, is their ability to capture images that effectively convey a message or tell a story that also matches the voice and tone of an existing brand.
What types of businesses typically hire a commercial photographer?
All of them.
Any business that needs high-quality visuals to promote their products or services can benefit from working with a commercial photographer. We work with a wide range of industries, including retail, hospitality, fashion, real estate, and more.
