Introduction

I want to make this process as easy as possible for you. Let's talk about what you need, when you need it, and then we can lock in a price. I have years of Drone and Photography experience currently transitioning from part time portraits and part time real estate, to full time real estate, inspection, and construction. I am comfortable on one story roofs or flat, other than that can use a drone.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

I am more than willing to give discounts provided we have the discussion in advance with no short-term changes or complications.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

once we start to communicate, I need date, time, location, and a general overview of what they want.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have been a photographer since 2016 and went to film school and business school. I have worked with musicians, business owners, charities, sports teams, and the everyday civilian. I was mentored for a short time by Suzy Gorman and learned a lot about getting the shot right and the mindsets you need to have for this industry. I also work for construction and insurance companies regularly as of 2023.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

In my senior year of high school, I went to every sporting event with a camera I got on eBay. since then I never stopped.

What types of customers have you worked with?

St. Louis individuals and businesses

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I recently photographed the McMillan building at BJC in central west in for Washington University. Loved that job, some of the photos are on my profile. was hard to schedule but the payoff was amazing.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Do not go for the cheap Instagram photographer with so many rules and limits in their contract. Pay by the hour or per project, and while you decide think about what photos you really need.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Are you punctual and easy to communicate with? once we start to message back and forth, I will be readily available through normal business hours 7 days a week.
