Why use a professional real estate photographer? Well, unless you want your listing to look like it was photographed by Bigfoot with shaky hands and a disposable camera from the '90s, you might want to consider the pros.

Q: What services do you offer?
1. **Property Photography:** We'll make your property look so stunning that even the neighborhood squirrels will want to move in (don't worry, we'll charge them rent in acorns).
2. **Aerial Photography:** Our drone pilot has mad skills; they once challenged a seagull to a flying contest (the seagull won, but we got great shots).
3. **Virtual Tours:** Take a stroll through your potential new home without ever putting on pants! Virtual tours let you explore every nook and cranny in your PJs.
4. **Video Tours:** Lights, camera, action! Our video tours are so epic that Spielberg is considering a career change.
5. **Twilight Photography:** For that enchanting twilight look, we bring our secret weapon: a magic wand. Just kidding, it's good old-fashioned photography skills.
6. **HDR Photography:** Our HDR magic is so potent that we once turned a rusty mailbox into a shiny, gold-plated one. It's still a mystery.
7. **Photo Editing and Retouching:** We've been known to Photoshop unicorns into backyards upon request. Just kidding... but not really, we keep it real... mostly.
8. **Floor Plans:** We'll draw you a floor plan so detailed, you'll know exactly how many steps it takes to get from the fridge to the couch.
9. **Customized Packages:** We offer packages that are more flexible than a contortionist at a circus. You want a photo with a monkey riding a unicycle? We can arrange that (well, almost)... ask Katharine for a story here.
10. **Delivery and Distribution:** We'll send you the photos faster than a pizza delivery, and they're calorie-free!
Q: What is the turnaround time?
A: Need your photos in a flash? No worries, we offer next-day turnaround on most things! We're so fast that even the roadrunner would be impressed. Just don't ask us to outrun a cheetah – that's a different kind of photography challenge!
Q: How you I get the photos?
A: Our booking website will handle all the photo delivery, we don't have time for that... but really, you will get an email as soon as the photos are spic and span and ready to download. You will also get you the option of billboard size print quality or already sized for MLS loading... MLS is slower than Shaq making 100 free throws.
Q: Do you have a supra key?
A: Most of our team does! When in doubt a garage code or combo box is always a great back up. We will need the 7 digit CBS code for Supra lockboxes... yes we know this can be a pain, not our fault. No we will not really use a rock to get in as a last resort, you know better than to take Landon seriously.
Q: Do you work with homeowners directly or only agents?
A: We will help whom ever needs professional photography. Clickity click click
Q: What is your experience?
A: Having many year of photography experience is like being a professional paparazzi for squirrels. You've seen them at their best, their worst, and their nuttiest.
We've spent so much time behind the lens that the camera it is basically an extension of our arm. In fact, it's become our go-to accessory, matching perfectly with all our outfits, from flip flops to wedding attire.
We've developed a sixth sense for finding the perfect lighting. People think we part meteorologist with our ability to predict golden hours and sudden rain showers.
And let's not forget the countless times we've been mistaken for a tourist.
So we keep clicking, keep making people laugh, and keep reminding everyone to say 'cheese'... or 'acorn' if you're still in squirrel mode!
