Pre-flight briefing
Questions, answered
- 01Are you licensed to fly drones commercially?
- Yes — FAA Part 107 certified, with LAANC airspace authorization handled per flight and liability insurance on every job, ground or air.
- 02How far do you travel?
- Across Missouri and Illinois. The studio is based in St. Louis; travel inside the metro is included in package pricing, and travel beyond it is quoted per project.
- 03How fast do I get my files?
- Real estate listings are delivered within 24 hours, headshots within 48, and most other sessions within a week. Rush delivery is available — just ask when booking.
- 04What do the prices on the site mean?
- Published prices are indicative St. Louis-market figures, marked as such next to every number. Your quote confirms the real price before anything is booked — no surprises after the fact.
- 05Do I own the photos?
- You get a licensing agreement that fits how you actually use the images — personal sessions include a print release, and commercial work includes usage licensing scoped to your channels.
- 06What happens if the weather is bad on shoot day?
- Outdoor and aerial work gets a weather call the day before, and rescheduling for weather is always free. Drone flights only happen in conditions that are safe and produce good frames.
- 07Can you deliver maps or 3D models my engineer can use?
- Yes — orthomosaics are delivered as GeoTIFF plus a shareable web view, and 3D models come as .glb/.obj with point clouds available. Tell me what software your team uses and the export will match it.
- 08Do you require a deposit?
- Standard sessions are confirmed by email with no upfront payment. Larger projects (films, events, multi-visit work) reserve the date with a deposit collected at booking confirmation.
