Getting started
Booking and the basics
How fast will I hear back?
The same day or the next day. Book a call or send the details through the form, and I'll get back to you to set up a time to talk.
Do you plan the content, or just film it?
Both. I help with content strategy, content creation, and full content execution. One team handles video, photography, drone, and full social media management.
Is this a one-time shoot or ongoing?
Either. Most of my work today is monthly social media management. I run a real production system behind the scenes, so you get consistent content every month, not one good shoot and then silence.
I don't have cameras, mics, or editing software. Is that a problem?
No. That's exactly where most people get stuck, and it's the part I handle. You show up and talk. The cameras, mics, lighting, and editing are taken care of.
Where do shoots happen?
At Flowood Creative Studios, my studio at 513 Liberty Rd in Flowood, open by appointment, or on location at your business, your listing, or your event.
What areas do you serve?
Flowood, Brandon, Pearl, Jackson, Ridgeland, Madison, and Gluckstadt, across Rankin, Madison, and Hinds counties. I'm willing to travel across Mississippi and beyond.
What does it cost?
Every project is different, so I don't publish prices. Book a call, tell me what you need, and I'll send you a proposal.
Do you do drone work?
Yes. I'm an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot, so aerial video and photo can be part of your shoot.
I'm not comfortable on camera. Is that normal?
Very. I direct the shoot so you know what to do. One client wrote that I have an amazing ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Can you film at my business?
Yes. I shoot on location or at Flowood Creative Studios, my studio in Flowood, depending on what the project needs.
What kind of video do you make?
Brand and business video, sit-down interviews, behind-the-scenes content, aerial shots, and short vertical video made for social media. Tell me what you have in mind and I'll build the shoot around it.
Is it one video, or ongoing?
Either. A lot of my work is monthly, because consistent content every month does more for a business than one good shoot and then silence.
Can I rent the studio and shoot my own content?
Yes. Studio rentals are part of what I offer. It's a collaborative space where people can shoot for themselves, or have me or others shoot for them. Send your date and what you're making.
How do I book studio time?
Send the form on this page or call me. We'll set up a quick call where I go over the studio options and what fits your shoot, and then we pick your time.
Where is the studio?
Flowood Creative Studios is at 513 Liberty Rd, Suite 1A, in Flowood, Mississippi. It's open by appointment only, so book before you come by. The Jackson airport is right down the street.
What is the studio set up for?
Photography, videography, and podcasting. The idea is a one-stop shop for entrepreneurs and small businesses.
Do you shoot listing photos and video?
Yes, both. A recent listing video opens with the agent introducing the home from the driver's seat, then walks through the rooms and the neighborhood.
Can you add drone shots of the property?
Yes. I'm an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot, so aerial photo and video can be part of the same shoot. Where a drone can fly depends on the location, so include the address when you request a shoot.
Can you help with my personal brand as an agent, not only listings?
Yes. That's what several of my realtor reviews are about. One agent wrote that other realtors constantly ask her who does her content.
Do you work with short-term rentals?
Yes. A short-term rental owner is one of my Google reviewers.
How do I request a shoot?
Use the request form on this page, or book a call. I reply the same day or the next day to confirm the shoot day.
Do you post the content for me?
Not on a content-only package. I shoot and hand the content over, and you post it. If you want the posting handled too, that's social media management.
How often do you shoot?
Monthly. Content-only packages are built around a monthly batch shoot.
Where do the shoots happen?
At your business, on location, or at Flowood Creative Studios, my studio in Flowood.
What does it cost?
I don't publish prices, because it depends on what you need. Book a call, tell me about your business, and I'll send a proposal.
Are you certified to fly a drone for business?
Yes. I'm an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot. Part 107 is the FAA certificate for flying a drone for commercial work.
Can you add drone shots to a listing or a brand video?
Yes. Aerial is handled by the same team as the video, photography, and social media, so it can go into the same shoot. Tell me what you're planning when you book a call.
Can you fly anywhere?
Not everywhere. Some airspace, like the area near an airport, has its own rules. Send me the address and I'll tell you what's possible there.
Do you travel for aerial work?
Yes. I'm based in Flowood and work across the Jackson metro, and I'm willing to travel across Mississippi and beyond.
Do I need my own equipment?
No. The cameras, mics, lighting, and editing are handled. You show up, you talk, and I handle everything else.
Where is the podcast recorded?
At Flowood Creative Studios, my studio in Flowood. One recent series was shot there on a three camera setup with simple lighting, two chairs, and a clean backdrop.
I've been thinking about starting a podcast for a while. Is that too late?
It's the most common place people start. I've helped business owners go from 'I've been thinking about this' to published episodes. It usually starts with one conversation.
My guest or co-host is coming from out of town. Can they get there?
Yes. The Jackson airport is right down the street from the studio.
Can we shoot at the studio?
Yes. Flowood Creative Studios is my studio in Flowood, built for photography, videography, and podcasting. It's open by appointment.
Can you come to my business?
Yes. When the story is at your office, your job site, or your listing, I bring the shoot to you.
Do you shoot photos, video, or both?
Both. Tell me which you need when you book a call, and whether you want it cut for social media after the day is over.
What kinds of events do you cover?
Sports and competitions, team and season content, grand openings, and business events. If yours is something else, describe it in the form and I'll tell you if it's a fit.
How soon should I book?
As soon as you have a date. Put it in the form and I'll reply the same day or the next day.
Can the photos and video from my shoot go on my website?
Yes. That's the whole idea. The site is built around the content from your shoot, so it shows your real business instead of stock photos.
Will my website show up on Google?
It's built the way Google reads a local business site: a page for each service, clear titles and descriptions, and your business details matching your Google listing. Nobody can honestly promise a ranking, and I won't.
How do I get started?
Send the details through the booking form and pick Website design. I'll get back to you the same day or the next day with next steps or a time for a quick call.
Ready when you are

More about social media management
Do you just film, or do you run the whole thing?
I run the whole thing. The strategy behind what gets posted, creating the content, and getting it out there. One client described me as a creative director who can run the whole ship for you.
Is it monthly?
Yes. Social media management is a monthly retainer, so the content keeps coming every month instead of one good shoot and then silence.
I don't know what I should be posting. Where do we start?
With your story. Book a call or send the details through the form, including your Instagram handle and a few lines about your brand. I reply the same day or the next day, and I send a proposal once I know what you need.
I already have someone who posts. Can you just make the content?
Yes. That's a content-only package. I shoot every month and hand the content over, and your team posts it.
