HMS Photo & Drone

Celebrating one year as a licensed drone operator. 🚁

Over the past year I’ve photographed everything from brand new builds to historic homes like this, a beautiful farmhouse built in 1831 on 6 acres in Ludlow Falls. Nearly 200 years old and still standing strong.

If you or someone you know needs aerial photography for a property or business, feel free to reach out.

✨ Dayton Arcade ✨

When I first stepped into this building in 2016, the Christmas lights from its last holiday season were still hanging in the rotunda. Snowflake lights swayed above the graffiti and mold.

The Arcade officially closed on January 31, 1991, right after its final holiday season in 1990. For nearly 30 years it sat silent, and many doubted it could ever come back.

But here we are in 2025, and the Arcade is alive again.

I had the pleasure of working with Green Table Gardens to capture visuals of their wonderful organic produce farm. It’s always a joy to collaborate with local businesses that put so much care into what they do👩‍🌾🌱🍅🌿

Before cars filled our streets, this place kept Dayton moving.

This building, on James H. McGee Boulevard (formerly Western Avenue) on Dayton’s west side, was once at the heart of the city’s electric transit system. Built in the late 1800s, it originally served as a car barn for the city’s streetcars. When Dayton introduced electric trolleybuses in 1933, the building kept the longest-running trolleybus system in the U.S. moving for decades.

In recent weeks, the building was demolished, marking the end of an era. I’m glad I could capture a few aerials before it came down. Drone photography lets us preserve history from a unique perspective.

Drone photography offers a powerful perspective — highlighting size, layout, and surroundings in ways ground-level photos simply can’t.
