We’re in Athens on a different kind of job today, capturing content as 3: 16 Earthworks begins demolition on a home that was a total loss after a fire.

Come out tomorrow and support a new veterans nonprofit! It's free to walk or ruck so let's make sure the riverwalk is packed!

RAIN OR SHINE, WE’RE CARRYING THE WEIGHT.

The weather may have its own plans, but ours haven’t changed.

Carry the Weight is happening tomorrow, Saturday, September 12, at Blue Goose Hollow along the Tennessee Riverwalk in Chattanooga — rain or shine.

So grab your backpack, lace up your shoes, dress for the weather, and come ready to put in the miles. Whether you’re rucking 10 miles, 6 miles, 2 miles, or joining us for the Family 500, we’ll be there.

We’ll see you at the Riverwalk.
Let’s Carry the Weight together.

The new Views From Above website is LIVE!

Over the past year, this business has grown and changed a lot, and I wanted a website that actually reflected the work we’re doing today.

More than anything, I want to say thank you to every client who has trusted us to show up, capture their work, and help tell their story. A lot of what you’ll see on the new site exists because of those opportunities.

I’d love for you guys to check it out and tell me what you think! Take a look around, check out some of our recent work, and let me know what catches your eye.

And if you know a business that could use professional photo and video content, feel free to send them our way.

Let’s make your business unforgettable.

Every year… we ride.

We don’t ride for those who are still here. We ride for the ones who carried the war home… and never made it out of it. For the heroes who stood on foreign soil and fought without hesitation, only to return and face a battle no one could see.

A battle that took them from us.

We ride for the voices that went silent.
For the pain they carried in silence.
For the brothers and sisters who gave everything for our freedom… and lost themselves along the way.

They are not forgotten. They will never be forgotten.

We speak their names. We carry their stories. We honor their sacrifice with every mile.

This year, the storm came in hard… violent, relentless, unforgiving.
But just like the warriors we ride for, we did not back down.

We stood.
We waited.
We endured.

And through it all… we said their names.

Because this ride is not about comfort.
It is about commitment.
It is about remembrance.
It is about making sure the world never forgets the cost of the unseen war.

We ride for them. Always.

Today, America celebrates its 250th birthday, making this Independence Day especially meaningful.

For two and a half centuries, generations of Americans have answered the call to action, to defend the freedoms we often take for granted.

Today, we celebrate not only our nation’s founding, but also the veterans, service members, and families whose sacrifices have helped shape the American story.

Happy Independence Day. May we never forget the price that has been paid for our freedom.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to document the first Eco Tour partnership between the Chattanooga Audubon Society and Tennessee Riverboat Company.

This inaugural trip transported goats to Maclellan Island, where they will help control invasive plant species as part of ongoing conservation efforts. These Eco Tours will provide a unique opportunity for the public to experience Maclellan Island while supporting conservation right here in Chattanooga.

With the recent security-related TFR over Chattanooga, I honestly wasn’t sure this mission would be possible. Thankfully, by working through the proper channels, the operation was approved and we were able to safely document this exciting project from above.

I’m excited to see how these tours grow and the impact they have on preserving one of Chattanooga’s hidden treasures.

Disclaimer: This flight was conducted under written authorization from the Department of Homeland Security and in accordance with all applicable FAA regulations.

If Chattanoogans think ground security for the Spanish soccer team is intense, wait until they meet the security in the sky.

Anyone flying drones around Downtown Chattanooga, North Shore, Cameron Hill, or the riverfront.

Check your airspace before you launch.

There are active Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) in the area right now because of FIFA World Cup-related activity, and some spots that people normally fly may not be available. The NOTAM states that commercial operators may apply for authorization for legitimate work, but requests must be submitted at least 72 hours in advance.

The FAA has already put out a national warning regarding World Cup no-drone zones. Violations can mean significant fines, drone confiscation, or even criminal charges.

Not saying this to scare anybody. I’m just saying don’t assume you’re good because you’ve flown there before.

Take a few minutes and check your airspace before you launch. Because a few minutes of planning is a whole lot easier than dealing with the FAA later.

Share this, tag friends let’s spread the word so everyone is informed!

Memorial Day is not about the long weekend.
It’s about the men and women who never made it home.

Today we remember the sacrifice behind the freedom we often take for granted.

As a veteran-owned business, this day carries a deeper meaning for us.

Take a moment today to remember the fallen, say their names, and keep their families in your thoughts.

Freedom has always had a cost.
