Four kinds of work, and I do them all the same way: I plan it with you, fly it, film it and edit it myself. No marketing company in between. Starting prices are below. Every job gets a fixed quote after a short call.
Services
Lake and marinas
Marina and dock shoots, boat films for dealers and brokers, and aerial photo and video of the lake.
Boat sales, marinas and docks
I've been filming boats on Table Rock Lake since I opened in 2017. Walk-throughs and sales videos for dealers and brokers, marina and dock marketing from the air and the water, rental orientation videos, boat shows, and an owners' reunion I've filmed every summer since 2018.
- Walk-throughs and sales videos for dealers, brokers and private sellers
- Marina, slip and dock marketing
- Rental orientation and feature how-to videos
- Tie-ups, reunions and on-the-water events
Day shoot from $500. See boats and marinas
Aerial photo and video
This is where I started, and it's still the heart of what I do. I've been an FAA-certified sUAS commercial pilot for ten years, flying the lake, the bluffs, the bridges and the job sites of southwest Missouri. My current drone shoots 4K.
- Drone stills and 4K video, color graded and delivered web- and print-ready
- Hyperlapses, night-lapses and time-lapses
- Fireworks, events and festivals from above
- Landscape photography of the lake and the Ozarks
Starting at $200 an hour. Travel beyond 60 miles of Springfield billed at cost. See drone work
Real estate
The listing film and the photos in one package.
You get the listing video walkthrough and the photos in one package, delivered on your listing schedule. I shoot lake homes, acreage, new construction and commercial property across the Tri-Lakes and Springfield.
- Aerial video, walkthrough and photos in one package
- Consistent turnaround for agents with a steady listing flow
- Social-ready cuts for Facebook, Instagram and the listing sites
Starting at $300 per listing. See listings
Business and brand
Brand films, promo videos and menu shoots.
Brand and promo videos
Commercial projects are most of my work. I make a video that shows people what your business is and what it's like to be there: showrooms and dealers, shops, golf courses, resorts, campgrounds, offices. I plan it with you, then film and edit it myself. Nothing is outsourced.
- Brand films and promo spots for the website and social media
- Product, showroom and vehicle video
- Golf course flyovers, hole by hole with yardages
- Monthly content plans
Starting at $800 per project. See brand films
Restaurants and menus
Full menu shoots and drink shoots for restaurants and bars. I photograph and film on site, so the food looks like it does when it lands on the table. Lately I shot the full menu for The Pitt and a cocktail shoot for The Vault.
- Full menu photography
- Cocktail and drink video
- Short clips for social media and menu boards
Quoted per shoot. See the menu shoot
Construction
A job filmed phase by phase.
Construction progress
Foundations, roads, bridges, custom homes and remodels. I film the job phase by phase with the drone and stabilized ground footage. The Mills Foundations job I filmed won a 2025 Grand Project of the Year award.
- Progress series from the first cut to the finished project
- Award-submission and portfolio films
- Monthly plans for builders and trades
From $500 a day of filming. See construction films
Other work
Inspection flights, and a few weddings a year.
Power line and infrastructure inspections
I fly inspections of power lines, towers, roofs and structures that are slow or dangerous to reach on foot, and deliver the stills and video the same day.
At the start of 2020 I flew close to 110 miles of line for one utility: a photo within 4 feet of every insulator, in just under 100 hours, each pole's photo pinned on a map with its coordinates and time.
- Power line and tower inspection flights
- Roof, bridge and structure inspections
- Progress flights for utilities and contractors
Quoted per job.
Weddings
A full-day wedding film, from getting ready to the send-off, with the ceremony and reception from the air and the ground. I take a few a year and do them properly.
- Full-day coverage, drone and ground
- Highlight film and full ceremony edit
Full package from $5,000.
How a job goes
Call me or send the form and tell me where and what. I'll get back to you the same day with shots, timing and a quote. I like to shoot early for the light. You get the edits back fast, in the formats you'll use: web, social, print, the showroom screen.
