Top 12 FAQs
Q: What type of services do you offer?
A: I specialize in drone photography/videography, but I also do portraits, local events, and family photos. I have real estate professionals that use my services for MLS listings. If you are wanting to license my drone footage, please contact me directly for details.
Q: Do you sell your prints?
A: Yes! One of things I’m most excited about with the launch of this webpage is being able to showcase and sell my work I’ve been able to accumulate over the past few years. All of my pieces come signed and shipping is available.
Q: How much do you charge?
A: It really depends on what you’re looking to do. However, I have competitive pricing for real estate photos and portraits and family photos. Some prices are listed on this site, but if it’s something specfic, just ask! A custom drone video can be done for your business as an add-on or package.
Q: Why should I choose you?
A: Honestly, if I didnt think you would be happy with my work, I wouldn’t have gone into business. I have been consistent in making sure my clients are happy and I want them to use me again and again. That is always the goal. I offer multiple packages and can customize a package to work for your specific needs.
Q: Do you have the necessary certifications and licences?
A: Safety is paramount and legally, there are requirements to follow not only with the FAA, but other agencies. For professionals, drone pilots must have a Remote Certificate from the FAA, which is required to fly commercially in the U.S. Compliance with federal aviation regulations ensures a responsible and professional operation.
Q: What equipment do you use? Currently, I have a DJI Mavic 3 Pro and a DJI Mavic Mini 4 Pro for drones and a Sony A7iii full-frame mirrorless camera. My drone footage is delivered in 4K.
Q: What areas do you service?
A: I typically will charge a fee for areas outside of Bakersfield and have done shoots in Delano, Porterville, Kernville and Tehachapi, but I do not service the Lancaster, California City or Mojave areas.
Q: Can you do a small job like a roof inspection?
A: Absolutely! Insurance companies sometimes ask for photos of your roof and I can provide on site unedited photos within minutes of shooting.
Q: Does weather affect your availability?
A: Yes, the weather can definitely affect an outdoor shoot. Time is always a consideration for all parties, and we will do our best to facilitate the shoot in a reasonable timeframe.
Q: Are deposits refundable?
A: The short answer is, No. Deposits are to protect both the business and the client. Once a deposit is funded, that time and date is booked. It leaves that spot no longer open for other clients. For that reason it is up to our discretion to refund any deposit for any reason.
Q: Do you license and of your photos for business websites?
A: Yes, depending on which image and for how long and for what usage determines the price. Editorial use and commercial use are the most common and I have a license agreement for that.
Q: Do you accept credit cards?
A: Yes, credit cards are accepted. We do require deposits to be reserved via credit card and prints are available for purchase through this website via credit card. Merchandise such as calendars and coffee mugs will be available soon.
