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.

I take the photos and I put them up for you.

Full coverage of the space — wide shots of every room, the entrance, the parking, and the details people look for.
A short walkthrough video.
Most visits produce 20–40 finished photos.
Everything sized and named for Google, your website, and social.
A written note on what to update yourself, and when.
Unlimited use for your own marketing. Copyright and portfolio rights stay with the studio.
You focus on running your business. Make me a manager on your Google Business Profile, and I’ll handle uploading fresh, optimized photos every single month so your listing never goes stale.

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.
-
About 30 minutes on site. You stay open. I work around your customers.
-
Turn on every light, clear the counters, and give me ten minutes when I get there. That's it.
-
Photos only help once they're on the page people see when they Google your business. You give me permission on your phone before I leave, and I load everything myself within a week. Not a folder of photos for you to deal with later.
-
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. Most owners keep me on so the next visit's photos go up the same way.
-
Yes — Google, your website, social, menus, print, signage. Unlimited, no expiry. Copyright and portfolio rights stay with the studio, so you'll see your place in my work too. Paid advertising and resale to third parties aren't included — ask if you need that.
-
You can't choose which photo shows first. Google picks your cover image by engagement, not by date or quality, so a blurry snapshot from five years ago can sit at the top for good. The only fix is adding photos strong enough to outperform it. That's what the 19x, 55x and 35x above are.
-
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.
-
Nearly half of consumers now use AI assistants to find local businesses. Those assistants answer from what's on your profile — parking, seating, noise, whether there's an outlet. A profile that doesn't describe your space can't be recommended by something that only knows what your profile says. Every visit includes the written summary I use to fill those details in.
-
50% holds the date. Balance when the photos are up. Card or bank transfer.
-
Most businesses have me back once a quarter at a lower rate. Some spaces don't change and don't need it. I'll tell you which one you are.
-
The visit is about the space — the shots that answer "what's it like in there." Products and dishes are in the frame where they belong in the room. If you want your team photographed at work, that's the +$350 add-on.
-
You see the set before anything goes up. If something's off, I reshoot it.
-
No. Paying for reviews is illegal, and I don't manage anyone's social. I make the photos and put them where people look. Posting them on Instagram is yours — and they're already sized for it.
-
Anywhere. Jacksonville is home; outside it, travel is quoted with the visit.
