Painted Northern Colorado farm road at last light with the Front Range, real estate photography service areas

    Where we shoot.

    Based in Loveland. Full service across Northern Colorado, short term rental work in the high country, and a Location Fee you will know before you book.

    Painted Larimer County, Colorado scene with Horsetooth Rock above a reservoir at sunset, Fort Collins and Loveland area
    Home base. Zone 1.

    Larimer County

    This is home. Most of our gear lives in Loveland, and we know the light on the Devil's Backbone and how fast this market moves. Fort Collins agents are competing in the most saturated media market in the region, which is exactly why average photos cost you listings there. Same-day requests are easiest here, and we can usually be on site within 24 hours.

    Loveland, Fort Collins, Berthoud, Timnath, Wellington, LaPorte, Bellvue, Masonville, Drake

    Location Fee: None.

    Painted Weld County, Colorado scene with a grain elevator and red barn over crop rows at golden hour, Greeley area
    20 to 40 minutes. Zone 1.

    Weld County

    Weld runs the full range, from Greeley's historic downtown to Windsor's new construction to working acreage and horse property on the outskirts. Land needs aerial context and most listings never get it. We fly Part 107 licensed, so the drone work is legal, insured, and usable. No Location Fee anywhere in the county, which means a ranch on the far east side costs the same as a house in town.

    Greeley, Windsor, Johnstown, Milliken, Severance, Eaton, Ault, Evans, Kersey, La Salle, Gilcrest, Platteville, Fort Lupton, Firestone, Frederick, Dacono

    Location Fee: None.

    Painted Boulder County, Colorado scene with the Flatirons in warm light above ponderosa pines, Longmont and Boulder area
    30 to 55 minutes. Zone 1 and 2A.

    Boulder County

    Historic brick, mountain-adjacent lots, and some of the most design-conscious buyers in the state. Boulder listings get compared against architectural photography whether the agent planned for it or not. The northern half of the county sits inside our free zone. Boulder itself and Broomfield are just past the hour mark at fifty dollars, which is close enough to nothing that it should never decide whether you call.

    Longmont, Niwot, Lyons, Erie, Mead at no fee. Boulder and Broomfield at $50.

    Location Fee: $0 to $50.

    Painted Denver, Colorado skyline at dusk with a lit clock tower and the Rocky Mountains behind, Denver metro service area
    60 to 90 minutes. Zone 2B.

    Denver Metro

    Urban listings, downtown lofts, and personal brand video for agents who want something that does not look like every other agent in the metro. The Location Fee here is $175, charged once per trip rather than once per property. Two shoots in the same day makes it $87.50 each, which is why we always ask whether you have a second listing or an office mate who needs one.

    Denver, Westminster, Arvada, Golden, Thornton, Brighton, Lakewood, Castle Rock

    Location Fee: $175.

    Summit STR

    The high country.

    We do not drive a camera two and a half hours to shoot a standard listing. Mountain work is short term rental work: property launches, galleries built for booking platforms, lifestyle video, and the assets that make a property outperform its comps. Summit STR clients pay 75 percent of the standard Location Fee.

    Painted Estes Park, Colorado main street at dawn with Longs Peak behind, short term rental photography market

    Estes Park and the Gateway

    50 minutes. Zone 2A.

    Our closest mountain market and one of the strongest short term rental economies in the state. Elk in the front yard is a marketing asset and most listings waste it completely. At under an hour from base the fee is $40, which should never factor into whether you book.

    Estes Park, Glen Haven, Allenspark, Drake

    Location Fee: $40.

    Painted Summit County, Colorado gondola above snowy evergreens at blue hour, Breckenridge and Keystone STR market

    Summit and Eagle County

    2 to 2.25 hours. Zone 4.

    The most competitive rental inventory in Colorado, where nearly every property looks identical in a thumbnail. The job here is separation, and both winter and summer galleries matter. $490 per trip, split across properties when a management company books more than one.

    Keystone, Breckenridge, Frisco, Dillon, Silverthorne, Copper Mountain, Vail, Avon, Beaver Creek, Edwards

    Location Fee: $490.

    Painted Grand and Routt County, Colorado barn on a snowy hillside with ski tracks, Steamboat and Winter Park STR market

    Grand and Routt County

    2 to 2.75 hours. Zone 4.

    Quieter markets with strong year-round demand and very little professional media competition. Often the easiest place to move a property from average to top performer. $490, rising to $640 when the light requires a dawn call or a late wrap. We tell you which applies before you book.

    Winter Park, Fraser, Tabernash, Granby, Grand Lake, Steamboat Springs, Hayden

    Location Fee: $490, or $640 with an overnight.

    Painted Colorado resort landscape with golden autumn aspens and snowy peaks, Vail and Beaver Creek STR market

    Destination Resorts

    Trip based.

    Beyond the range where a flat number is honest. These are planned multi-day engagements built around several properties rather than one, quoted once we know the dates and the scope. Lodging billed at cost with receipts, never marked up.

    Aspen, Snowmass, Telluride, Crested Butte

    Location Fee: Quoted per trip.

    Everything above 8,000 feet is short term rental work. If you own or manage a property up there, that is the conversation to have.

    Zone 3 and beyond

    We go farther than most.

    Our practical day-trip range is about two and a half hours from Loveland. Past 90 minutes there is a $1,500 minimum on the media itself, because a drive that long uses a full production day. Booking more than one shoot in the same trip is always the cheaper way to work with us.

    Cheyenne, Wyoming1 hour 15 minutes, $175
    Fort Morgan and the eastern plains1 hour 30 minutes, $400
    Colorado Springs and Monument2 hours 15 minutes, $400
    Pueblo2 hours 45 minutes, $650
    Anything beyondQuoted per trip

    How the Location Fee works.

    One number, quoted before you book, added to the invoice as a single line. We do not itemize mileage, we do not bill drive time separately, and we do not add anything after the fact. Anything inside 45 minutes is free, and anything inside an hour is fifty dollars.

    ZoneDrive time from LovelandStandardSummit STR
    Zone 1Under 45 minutesNo feeNo fee
    Zone 2A45 to 60 minutes$50$40
    Zone 2B60 to 90 minutes$175$130
    Zone 390 minutes to 2.5 hours$400$300
    Zone 4Beyond 2.5 hours$650$490
    Zone 4, overnightEarly call or late wrap$850$640
    • The first hour is close to free on purpose. Under 45 minutes costs nothing and 45 to 60 minutes is a flat fifty. We would rather absorb that than have a fee decide whether you call us.
    • Book two or more shoots in the same market on the same day and the fee is charged once and split, not charged per property. On a Zone 4 trip that turns $650 into $325 each.
    • Zone 3 and Zone 4 carry a $1,500 minimum on the media. It is not an upsell, it is arithmetic on a full production day.
