Services
HDR Photography
Our HDR photography captures five bracketed exposures, blended into vibrant, detailed images that highlight a property's best features. This standard service improves listing appeal through dynamic lighting and color accuracy, helping homes stand out in competitive markets. Agents benefit from MLS-compliant virtual tours included with every session.
Aerial Imaging
FAA-certified pilots capture aerial perspectives from 15-200 feet, showcasing property scale and proximity to amenities. High-resolution drone footage emphasizes lot positioning, outdoor features, and neighborhood context. Red arrows identify specific properties in wide shots, while clubhouse aerials add value for community listings.
Virtual Staging
Cost-effective virtual staging transforms empty spaces into inviting environments at $25 per photo. Our designers use industry-specific software to add furniture and decor that aligns with target buyer preferences. Staged listings receive 95% more inquiries and sell 73% faster compared to unstaged properties.
Zillow 3D Tours
These immersive tours allow buyers to explore properties digitally, increasing Zillow search visibility. Listings with 3D tours sell 22% faster and appear prominently in Zillow/Trulia galleries. Tours load instantly and include shareable links for social media and MLS integration.
Night Photography
We convert daytime shots into dusk scenes using Photoshop or schedule twilight visits to capture illuminated features. This premium service highlights properties with exterior lighting, pools, or waterfront views, creating dramatic visuals that attract evening home shoppers.

Seth was very accommodating and able to schedule my appointment quick. Met John and he explained in detail what he was going to shoot with his drone and listened to my request. Looking forward to working with then again in the future.
