I enjoyed working with long-time friend Sara Sherman on this video project for Dandelion Neurorelational Family Services, formerly Discovery Horse. Sara and Matt just launched their new website https://www.dandelion-family.com/ . I will share more videos as we continue to add to their website.

I have done video projects over the years, but have not had much time to develop or market this side of my business with all of the real estate and commercial photography work I continue to do. I hope to grow the video side of my business in the coming years. If your business or organization wants to tell its story through video, photos, or both, get in touch.

I will have a price increase for my real estate photography services, effective August 15, 2024. When I started this portion of my photography business in 2015, I offered my "Full Package" photo/video package for $300 and the price has remained the same for the past 9+ years.

I have always tried to keep my prices below the average market price, and have delayed this increase in recent years. I appreciate all of your support and referrals. Feel free to get in touch via private email, text or phone. The link below has been updated with my new prices.

Thank you for your continued business!

Great fall day for a small backyard wedding. I don't photograph as many weddings as I used to, but had fun getting back in the saddle. I also have a wedding video project coming out soon.

My website had been neglected for the past couple years (at least!). I made some changes and updated the Real Estate section with new photos and video examples. Pricing will remain the same for the upcoming year, the only change made was the upcharge for larger homes that now starts at 3000+ SqFt.
I think everyone is preparing for the end of this long winter. Get in touch now to schedule your listing photography/videos and feel free to pass it along to other agents in the area. My typical coverage area is from Little Falls to Walker, east to Mille Lacs Lake and west to the Staples/Wadena area.
Also a reminder to the VRBO/AirBnb market. More homes are coming online everyday. The best way to make your listing stand out is with a fresh set of professional photos!

I am now accepting Venmo for payments. Look for the link in your next invoice email. FYI for other small businesses , it appears Venmo's fees are less than PayPal for business accounts.
