Hi, I'm Jason.

I shoot real estate, Airbnbs, and the occasional commercial job across SW Michigan. Most of my work is for agents and brokers in the Kalamazoo / Portage / Battle Creek triangle, but I cover the whole region — from Grand Rapids down to the lakeshore.

Owner-operated means you talk to me, you book me, and I'm the one showing up to your shoot. No call center, no second shooter you've never met, no surprises.

I've been a licensed Michigan Realtor for 8 years. Most of what I know about what makes a listing photo sell came from sitting in showings and listening to buyers talk. I shoot the way I'd want my own listings shot — fast, accurate, MLS-ready the next morning. My real estate practice is at jobrienhomes.com. Separate business, same eye.

When the FAA stood up the Part 107 commercial drone rules in 2016, I was the first operator in the state to get certified. That wasn't a marketing move — I'd been shooting aerial since the technology let me, and it mattered to me to do it legally and insured.

Ten years later, that head start shows up as fewer mistakes in the air, smoother LAANC requests in controlled airspace, and a real sense for when not to fly. The vast majority of my listing packages now include a drone component.

1. 1

   You send the request through the booking form. Vacant or occupied, photo-ready or not, your preferred date.

2. 2

   I confirm the time — usually within a few business hours. If your first pick doesn’t work, I’ll send the next two best options.

3. 3

   I show up on shoot day, on time, with everything I need. Most real estate shoots take 60–90 minutes.

4. 4

   Photos delivered next-day on most shoots, two-day max. Video is 3–5 days. Drone in the same delivery.
