booking & what to expect
how does booking work?
Every project is custom quoted. Tell us what you need through the book a shoot page, we scope it together, and you get a quote before anything is scheduled. No packages, no surprises.
where do you shoot?
On site at your facility, or offsite in our studio. We are based in Tempe, AZ and available throughout Arizona and the Southwest.
what happens before the shoot?
We send a prep guide and a production checklist so your team knows exactly what to have ready. A few minutes of prep on your side is the difference between good shots and the ones that move product.
preparing your product
when should we schedule around harvest?
The two best windows are right after cut and about a week after. Fresh-cut material gives us living structure and color; the one-week mark gives us the cured look buyers recognize. If you can only pick one, tell us what the images are for and we will pick with you.
how should the product be handled?
Held, not touched. Trichomes are the whole point of the shot and they do not survive fingers. Handle by the stem, keep contact to a minimum, and never touch the flower surface itself.
what sizes work best?
Depends on the shot. E-commerce nugs for menu and product work, large fresh flower for 1:1 close-ups, and a 12–18″ hero cola if you want the showpiece image. A mix of all three covers most catalogs.
what condition should it be in?
Untouched product straight from the room or the cure, plus retail-ready packaging if packaging is in scope. We shoot what your customer actually gets.
what do you need on site?
Gloves, a hand trimmer, a low-airflow area, power, any PPE your facility requires, and enough room for lighting rigs. The production checklist we send before the shoot covers all of it.
compliance & credentials
can you work inside our licensed facility?
Yes. We hold an Arizona DHS Facility Agent card, which a licensee can associate with their license through the ADHS portal in minutes. We follow your facility access and product-handling procedures.
are you insured?
Yes. We carry general liability and professional liability coverage, and we can add your facility as additional insured. Certificates of insurance are available on request for your compliance team.
do you fly drones?
Yes. We are FAA Part 107 certified for aerial and facility work. We fly legally and coordinate with your compliance team on any airspace restrictions.
can product be shot offsite?
It can. We have a documented custody and transport process for offsite work, including a chain-of-custody form your team signs off on. Ask about it when you book and we will walk you through it.
deliverables & deep zoom
what do we get, and when?
Edited images within 3 to 5 business days, rush available on request. Files are delivered as high-res TIFF or JPEG, color corrected and ready to use. RAW files available upon request.
what is the deep zoom viewer?
A browser-based interactive viewer that lets anyone zoom from the full bud all the way into individual trichomes — like a map, but for your flower. Each image gets a shareable link (or QR code) you can put on menus, packaging, or social. See it live in the collection.
