Now offer property mapping!

Have you ever wanted to see your property on google earth/ maps but its so outdated or such low quality? We now offer up to date maps. What is it? When you hire us we will come to your property and using our drones we will photograph the entire property. Once finished we take the thousands of photos we took and stitch them together to create a giant orthophoto of your property. All you have to do is take the file we send you and drop it into Google Earth pro (a free product from google) and it will automatically display your property photo overlay. No trying to line anything up yourself.

Our photos are more detailed and more accurate than google earth. Google uses satellites to take photos from space, we use drones flying only a couple hundred feet off the ground. This means that our photos are significantly more clear. Ours are also up-to-date from the day we photograph them. Googles images may be out dated by several years.

We can even print out our photo into a poster for you. Now you can see your property hanging on your wall.

Nows the time to book with the snow melted and the trees not blocking the ground view.

We also offer high resolution 360 images from our drones. We take over 136 images and stitch them together to create a 360 panoramic view from anywhere on your property.

Attention Wisconsin residents!!!! We are now offering custom land maps.

What are our land maps?
We can now use our drones to photograph in detail your land. We then use special software to stitch hundreds or even thousands of images together to create a highly detailed image of your property.

Once the images are created, we can print out a poster in almost any size for you. These images give you a much more detailed look at your land compared to websites like Google maps or Onx maps.

We can also provide you with a digital file of the image that you can use on your computer.

With us creating the map for you we are able to do things that google maps cant easily do for you. We can mark paths for you that are not easily seen or cant be seen at all from the sky. We can mark different areas including hunting shacks, cabins, food plot areas, and more. If you want it marked on the map we can add an icon for it. We can add custom path names if you have your own named roadways on your land.

Maps start at $250 for 40-acre maps. This includes a digital copy of the land, as well as a 16x20 poster printed out and sent directly to you. Got more than 40-acres? No problem we can create maps for almost any size property.

We are located near Crandon but we can travel anywhere to create the map (milage rates may apply). If your interested in getting a map created feel free to message us.

Need honest opinions.

So ive done 360 tours and VR stuff for a while. It's not a great seller, it's just something I really like doing. I was thinking of getting a VR camera that is able to record VR 3D 180 video (understandably that means nothing to most people). If you ever used a VR headset a good quality video makes it seem like you are standing in the place the video is. It's really an awesome experience (granted not super popular yet). I was thinking of buying a nicer consumer/professional model camera that can record a good 180 degrees video. My idea would be to be able to record things like weddings, speeches from grandparents and parents, videos of people's dogs, things like that and people can watch them later. Ive heard a lot of people say things like I wish I could see grandma one more time, or see my dog playing one more time. and VR being somewhat of a unique experience you can. Its not something most people would think about now but once its there and you can literally put on a headset and see your dog running after its ball again as if you were standing there, or grandma giving you a speech, or reliving your wedding day, things like that I think it would catch on. Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest headsets seem to be getting more popular and it could be a service that is offered. Would you ever consider paying for a service like that or could you see the value in it? I dont see it being extremely popular and im not sure how id sell it yet but looking for opinions.

Senior Photos!!!!
If you got fall colors in mind for senior photos, now is the time to start thinking about getting the photoshoot set up.

Our senior photo packages start at $150 for a session. We allow outfit changes and try not to put a specific time on it, we want to capture the best photo we can not limit ourselves to a time frame like other photographers. You get 10-15 photos from our sessions.

Bring a friend and save, we provide a discount if you and one of your friends wants to do the sessions together. Both get a discount and both get photos. Message us today to set up a time.
