Portfolio

Your own view, not someone else's stock photo. I flew and edited every frame on this wall, starting with three from this October.

  1. A wooded lake peninsula, its docks out over the shallows.
  2. A young cornfield against the back yards of a new street.
    A creek along a soybean field, in long low sun.
  3. A home in its clearing, with the whole wooded lot around it.
    Lake shallows and a dock, from just above the water.
    A row of townhouses just after the rain.
  4. An old brick mill and its race, running out to the lake.
    A parcel with its boundary traced, from high above.

But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.

1 Timothy 6:11NIV

Two views of the same place

The same place, twice.

Drag to see what height adds. Two pairs: an estate home, and a parcel from the side and straight down.

An estate home seen from its circular drive: a brick and stone entry with tall windows, a red-leafed tree and landscaped stone stepsFrom the ground
The same estate from the air: house, circular drive, detached garage, pond and surrounding woodland in one frameFrom the air
An estate home from the ground, then from the air: the drive, the pond and the woodland it sits in.

A parcel from the side, then straight down: the boundary, the track and the highway read at a glance.

Four heights, one climb

One climb from a lake's boat landing, in four real frames. Pick a height; nothing moves until you do.

The whole place from high over the water: the park and its landing, the town along the shore and the lake running to the horizon

This is what a buyer is really choosing.

360 virtual tours

For a listing in Beaver Dam, anywhere in Dodge County or beyond, a 360 tour lets a buyer stand in each room, look all the way around and walk on to the next, from a phone or a laptop. Here are two I shot. Start either one and it opens here, without leaving the page.

The 360 Virtual Tour covers one standard lot outside, inside or both, at one price, $349; a larger property takes the Full Property Bundle, priced on request, which adds aerial 360 positions above the parcel. These two are walk-throughs of a whole house, at 21 and 47 positions. See the price list, or name it on the booking form.

One listing, from the air

The drive, the house and the land, in the order a buyer meets them.

Filmed on one property. It illustrates how aerial carries a listing; it does not describe a sale.

Low flight up a tree-lined gravel drive toward a farmhouse and flagpole under heavy cloud

The arrival

Buyers make up their minds in the driveway, so show them the drive before they get there: the approach, the trees along it and the first sight of the house.

Orbit of a white Victorian house with tiered porches and a roof deck among tall spruce

The house

Give buyers every side of the house, not only the front. One orbit takes in the porches, the roof deck and the spruce around it.

High orbit over estate grounds, ponds and winding drives, farmland running to a curved horizon

The land

Acreage sells on what surrounds it: the ponds, the fields and the drive to town. From higher up, the grounds, the water and the farmland beyond them share one frame.

Prices

Every price here is a base price: a standard residential lot under 1 acre. A larger lot or building adds a percentage, which the price your listing tool beside this list works out for you, so you can still book without a quote. A row that reads Contact for Pricing is priced on request: choose it on the booking form and the number comes back with your estimate. Work beyond this menu is quoted on square footage, acreage and the mileage from Beaver Dam, on the same booking form.

What the work is for

Heller's Town, LLC is not an aerial photography company. It is a mission. The aerial work is the tool. The mission is something older and more important: the power of the past creating the family of the future. Every relationship we build, every property we document, every community event we help tell the story of, is part of a longer arc. We are here to serve Dodge County, to do excellent work, to treat every client the way we would want to be treated, and to build something that outlasts a single job or a single season.

How fast do I get the photos?

MLS photos are delivered within 24 hours of the flight, guaranteed. Need them sooner? Rush delivery is $50 more and gets them to you within 6 hours.

What if the weather turns?

Free reschedule with 24-hour notice for weather or scheduling changes. No cancellation fees on standard packages.

Are you certified and insured?

FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot, with $1,000,000 liability insurance through Global Aerospace, current to July 2027. We issue the certificate of insurance naming your brokerage as an additional insured.

Can the photos go on the MLS?

Yes. Files arrive MLS-ready, and the license covers MLS listings and property marketing. Reselling or transferring it needs our written consent.

Who owns the photos?

Heller's Town keeps the copyright. Once paid, you get a non-exclusive license to use the media for the purposes set at booking, including MLS listings and property marketing. Reselling or transferring it needs our written consent.

How far do you travel?

No travel fee anywhere in Dodge County. Beyond Dodge County: $50 base + $0.67/mi, mileage calculated from Beaver Dam. Fuel and tolls are included in the base fee. Madison and the surrounding area are within 50 miles. Milwaukee (about 80 miles) and Green Bay (about 90 miles) are at the same rate, with a full-day shoot recommended.

What about airspace?

All airspace authorizations are confirmed before takeoff.

Do you shoot 360 tours?

Yes, and there are two. They are split by the size of the property and never by inside or outside. The 360 Virtual Tour covers one standard residential lot, outside, inside or both at the one price, $349. The Full Property Bundle is for a larger property, and it adds aerial 360 positions flown above the parcel on the same hotspots; its row reads Contact for Pricing, so choose it on the booking form and the number comes back with your estimate. Either one connects every position into a single walkable tour, with an embed link and a shareable URL, hosted 90 days.

My listing is on acreage. Does the price change?

Base package pricing covers standard residential lots under 1 acre. More land, or a bigger building, adds a percentage to the base package price: 10 acreage bands and 6 building bands, from 1.5% to 65%. Only the larger of the two applies, and they are never added together. 200 acres or more is a custom quote. Price your listing, beside the menu, shows which band applied and what it comes to.

I book every week. Is there a rate?

4 or more shoots a month: 15% off every package, guaranteed same-week scheduling, 24-hour delivery on MLS photos. The first shoot is at full price. Your second shoot with Heller's Town is 25% off, applied automatically. No code required. One discount applies to a shoot, the larger one. They never add together.
