Hampton Roads is home to several military installations, airports, and other areas with controlled or restricted airspace, so drone photography isn't permitted at every property location. All of our drone pilots are FAA Part 107-certified and check airspace restrictions and authorization requirements before each flight. When permitted, we obtain the necessary FAA authorizations to operate safely and legally. If a property falls within restricted airspace where authorization cannot be obtained, aerial photography may not be available for that location. We'll always evaluate the property before the appointment so there are no surprises.

Twilight photography is all about timing! The ideal window is shortly before and just after sunset, when the sky takes on beautiful colors and the home's interior and exterior lighting create a warm, inviting glow. Because this window changes throughout the year, twilight appointments are scheduled based on the local sunset time and typically begin approximately 15-20 minutes before sunset. We'll help coordinate the timing to capture the home during this beautiful transition from day to evening.

We provide a staging checklist to assist homeowners in preparing their property to be "photo-ready." While our photographers will offer guidance during the appointment if adjustments are needed, having the home ready before our arrival ensures a smooth process. We recognize that homes are lived in, and factors like children and pets may require some items to be moved. Staging holds greater significance when opting for services like 3D Tours or Video. While photography allows flexibility to avoid problem areas, 3D Tours, showcasing a complete 360-degree view, may highlight aspects that staging can effectively address. It's important to consider the suitability of 3D Tours for each home, as not all properties may benefit from this immersive experience.
