  Professional work.   Anyone can go up in a plane and take pictures,  but it takes a professional to get top notch angles and composition,  in addition to preparing the image for all kinds of uses.   We plan our jobs carefully,
considering such things as lighting, time of year, desired angles,
building orientation, and so on.

We don't just take photos.
We provide a full range of photography services and can prepare the images for professional use.

Aerial photos are unique and valuable.     They serve many purposes and make great gifts.   Aerial photos are used to document construction projects, legal issues involving land, to sell property, for public relations, and much more.  

Call for latest prices and for details about specific projects.

Total costs depend on a number of factors, including:

Current fuel, plane, and pilot costs, distance, time in the air  prints and post production needs.   Helicopters are necessary for certain types of work and locations and they cost much more than small aircraft like Cessna's.   Most jobs require about an hour of flight time.

Aerial photography is challenging and definitely not for everyone. Aside from trying to frame the photo in a cramped, vibrating space, there is the difficulty of precisely locating the property you want to photograph.

There are several kinds of aerial photography.  The most common kind is what's called "oblique".  That means the photos are taken from an "oblique" angle, for example from 30 to 75 degrees.   Vertical aerial photography is direct 90 degrees.  This usually requires a camera mounted in the floor of the aircraft.   This type of photography is more expensive,  and is most often used when precise measurements are needed.

Oblique photography produces a much more aesthetic image.   We do oblique photography.
