MY EYE IN THE SKY
As an experienced FAA-licensed and insured drone pilot, I produce high-end aerial videos and stills for clients across industries. My drone photography services include commercial and residential real estate, television production projects, tourism, special events, construction, and news footage.
Based in Roanoke, Virginia, I serve clients throughout the region. I fly among the most advanced drones on the market: the DJI Phantom 4 Pro and the DJI Inspire 2. Safety is a priority each time I put a drone in the sky. Also a top priority is delighting my clients with stunning photography and great service.
WHY I BECAME A DRONE PHOTOGRAPHER
I have enjoyed a career behind the camera from D.C. to L.A., working for broadcast stations, independent television production companies and Sowder Group Marketing + Media.
My passion for developing successful marketing campaigns, creating high-impact imagery, and flying remote aircraft in national competitions merged to create my dream job: providing quality aerial photography to clients via drones. I love what I do.
HOW YOU BENEFIT
My broadcasting and advertising career has given me an in-depth understanding of marketing and sales needs. I know how powerful visuals can turn a good marketing campaign into an extraordinary one.
Having spent my life working in fast paced, deadline oriented businesses, I am quick to respond, follow-up, and have an unyielding commitment to meeting deadlines. Just as important, I have an eye for creating visually arresting, memorable images that effectively tell the story you want to deliver. And hey, I'm just fun to work with.
