Come Visit our Burnt Hills Studio
In December 2023 we opened our new home base at 227 Kingsley Road, Burnt Hills, NY. We took over a 1700 square foot office, renovated it, and turned it into our dream homebase, complete with a photography studio, offices, and our newest podcast studio addition. Conveniently located to cover a broad range of real estate photography, we look forward to serving you in all your photo and videography needs.
Not looking for real estate? We got you
We have a long standing background in video & portraiture for seniors, pets, families, and more. We also offer professional headshots, corporate photography, and promotional videos.

Our newest trainee in action, Dramanique brings a level of class to our team that is unparalleled in the field. She's always ready to assist and tends to spring up in unexpected places. She's a little reserved at first, but she's a great practical joker and very fun once you get to know her. She's available 24/7 and may always be a little too caffeinated.
