Edits & graphics — upon request

I'd like to consider myself a pretty good photo editor. I work in Photoshop and Lightroom, plus tools like Canva and Affinity for graphics — property lines, a lit fire pit, labels, callouts, whatever the listing needs. Tell me your vision. I can make it happen. Drag the sliders to see two examples.

Aerial photo before property lines added Aerial photo with property boundary lines drawn
BEFORE AFTER
Property lines drawn on the aerial, upon request — buyers instantly understand the lot.
Backyard fire pit before fire edit Backyard fire pit with virtual fire added
BEFORE AFTER
Virtual fire added to a listing's fire pit — have an idea like this? Just ask.

Property lines and visual edits are illustrative and provided upon request. Final listing use should follow MLS and broker disclosure rules.

Pricing

Starting at $100

As you know, every listing is different. Explain the job, and I'll give you a straight quote.

Most of the money I make goes toward my private pilot's license, which I'm actively working on.

Oh — I also do interiors

Aerial is my specialty. Interiors are where I'm still learning and get better with every house, and I price it accordingly.

Dining room with long table and piano
Dining room — HDR keeps the windows bright without blowing out the room.
Bright kitchen with white cabinets
Kitchen with stainless appliances
Living room with fireplace and TV
Living room — straight-on composition, true-to-life color.

Interiors are available as an add-on and priced accordingly. Aerial work is my specialty, but I can cover the full listing when the project calls for it.

And one more thing

If your business has needs for automation, smart tools, and integrations, that's something I can help with. Ask me about it.
