THE BASICS
The photos people see when they Google your business.
Jacksonville businesses. I photograph the space, entrance, exterior, parking and the details people want to see before they visit — then I put them on Google for you, and hand you the rest sized for your website and social.
About 30 minutes on site · From $750 · On your Google page within a week
Most businesses put their money into product and menu photos, and skip the wide shots that show people what the place looks like before they walk in.
Josephine — the room 124,077 · the dish 6,526 · 19x more views on the room
Naked Kitchen — the room 35,177 · the dish 639 · 55x more views on the room
Taqueria Cinco — the room 105,381 · the dish 2,986 · 35x more views on the room
You can't choose which photo shows first.
Google picks your cover photo by engagement, not by date or quality. A customer's phone snapshot from five years ago can sit at the top of your listing for good. The only fix is adding photos strong enough to outperform it.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most visits produce 20–40 finished photos and a short walkthrough video. Wide shots of every room, the entrance, the parking, and the details people look for — sized and named for Google, your website, and social. Plus a written note on what to update yourself, and when. You see the set before anything goes up. If something's off, I reshoot it.
-
About 30 minutes on site for the space. You stay open. I work around your customers. Turn on every light, clear the counters, and give me ten minutes when I get there. Adding your team or the full story takes longer — I'll give you the time when we book, and your team can wear what they work in.
-
You give me permission on your phone before I leave, and I load everything myself within a week. You stay the owner. I'm added as a manager, which lets me add photos, update details, and post. A manager cannot remove you, delete the listing, or transfer it to anyone. You can remove me from your phone at any time.
-
For your own business, as long as you like — Google, your website, your social (boosting your own posts is fine), menus, flyers, and signs in your space. Same for team portraits and video. Not included: paid ad campaigns, billboards, print or TV ads, merchandise, or passing the photos to anyone else — a landlord, a brand, an agency, a magazine. Ask and I'll quote it. Copyright and portfolio rights stay with the studio, so you'll see your place in my work too.
-
I won't promise rankings — photos are a small part of how Google ranks you. They're a big part of what people do once they find you: whether they tap directions, call, or keep scrolling. That's the number I'm changing.
-
50% holds the date. Balance when the photos are up. On the twice-a-year plan, pay for the year when you sign, at each visit, or monthly — same total. Outside Jacksonville, travel is quoted with the visit.
-
As often as your space changes — a new menu, a new season, new stock, a renovation. Some businesses need it twice a year, busy ones every quarter, and some don't need it at all. I'll tell you which one you are.
