Aerials matter more in Austin than almost anywhere we shoot, because the topography is the story. A hilltop lot in Westlake or Barton Creek, a cove on Lake Travis near Lakeway, or an acreage tract outside Dripping Springs reads completely differently from above, where the elevation change, the tree cover, and the view corridor are obvious. Our FAA Part 107 pilots plan around Austin-Bergstrom's controlled airspace and the smaller fields in Georgetown and Lakeway, request authorization where it is available, and match the color to your ground gallery.
Hill Country customs and acreage in Dripping Springs, Spicewood, Bee Cave, and Liberty Hill, lakefront homes on Lake Travis and Lake Austin, ranch and land listings west of Austin and out toward Johnson City, and site-wide aerials for builders in Round Rock, Georgetown, Leander, and Kyle. Property-line overlays are standard for acreage and ranch listings.
Aerial stills give context that sells: property lines, pool and outdoor living layouts, proximity to water and amenities, and community scale. Flown by licensed pilots, edited to match the rest of your gallery.

FAQ
Drone Photography in Austin, answered.
Are your drone pilots FAA licensed?
Yes. Every JRP drone flight is flown by an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot, and our pilots are insured for commercial aerial work. When a property sits in controlled airspace near an airport, we request FAA authorization before the flight rather than on the day.
What does drone photography show that ground photos cannot?
Aerials show the whole lot, the shape of the pool and outdoor living areas, the roofline, and where the property sits in relation to water, golf, parks, and the neighborhood. For acreage and land, they show the terrain and the tree cover. Buyers use them to understand context before they ever visit.
Can you fly a drone at any property?
Most properties can be flown, but not all. Areas around major airports need FAA authorization, some addresses fall inside permanent or temporary flight restrictions, and weather can ground a flight on the day. We check the airspace for every address before it goes on the calendar and tell you in advance if a location cannot be flown.
Which areas around Austin does JRP cover?
Austin proper, Westlake Hills and Rollingwood, Lakeway, Bee Cave, and the Lake Travis communities, Dripping Springs and the Hill Country to the west, and the 35 corridor north and south, including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Liberty Hill, Pflugerville, Hutto, Kyle, and Buda. Our Austin crew is local, and every gallery is finished by the same editing team as our Florida work.
How do you photograph Hill Country lots and views?
From the air and from the ground. Aerials show the elevation change, the tree cover, and the view corridor that a street-level photo cannot, and we time exterior and view shots so the harsh Texas light is behind the camera. Twilight is scheduled for homes where the view is the selling point.
Do you work with builders along the 35 corridor?
Yes. Our Austin crew shoots model homes, elevation sets, amenities, and progress documentation for builders in Round Rock, Georgetown, Leander, Pflugerville, Hutto, Kyle, and Buda, to the same standard we use for builders in Florida. Scheduling runs through one point of contact across every community.
