I only got to spend a very brief time in Malibu, California. Fortunately, it was spent at the stunning Leo Carrillo State Park, which I just happened to pick out on a map to visit! You have seen my bird's eye view drone photos of this park, now you can see the view from my DJI Mavic Pro drone!

4K Drone Video Albuquerque New Mexico Black Volcano Petroglyphs
It took far too long to visit Petroglyphs in Albuquerque New Mexico. Many times on my way to photographing rural land properties in Rio Rancho had I past it. Finally, a brief visit was possible just to Black Volcano. A short 4K drone video of Black Volcano is featured above.
Read MoreDrone Real Estate 4K Video Aerial Photos Albuquerque New Mexico Arboleda Senda NE
4K drone video and aerial drone videos are not just for 7-figure real estate properties on acres of land. Even a more modest house on a very small lot can benefit from the unique viewpoint drone video and photos provided. For example, 3648 Arboleda Senda NE in Albuquerque, New Mexico was a challenge because of the large trees right in front of the house and the close proximity of neighboring homes. I still found a way, in less than 10 minutes of flying time, to feature the house using my DJI Mavic Pro drone to show its setting at the foot of the Sandia Mountains and how pretty it is to have those flowering trees out front.
Read MoreCedro Creek New Mexico 4K Drone Video
On the way to photographing a rural land property in Torrance County, New Mexico, we were looking for a place to take short hike. At Otero Trailhead off of Road 337 just south of Tijeras, if you take the first left branch off of the main trail entrance, you will come across this creek. In late winter it was not exactly flowing mightily, but it was a pleasant enough spot for an easy trek and a picnic.
This 4K drone video shows the gentle flow of the creek and the view from bird's eye above.

I have been spending a lot of time photographing rural land near Moriarty, New Mexico in Torrance County. At one location the client only ordered ground level photos, but in scouting the property on Google Maps I saw these crop circle looking formations behind the property and decided to bring my drone to see how they looked from the air!
Read MoreBixby Creek Bridge Big Sur California drone photo
I have already shown you what it is like to fly right under the Bixby Bridge in Big Sur, California. And what the view looks like from beside it. This, now, is a view from only what a drone can see hovering out over the Pacific Ocean. I find it a lonelier view without the Sea as the background to the bridge. Is this what the Sea feels when it looks toward land? Is the Sea, sad?

I first met Darrell when he came to my Home Studio for a headshot session in December of last year. I was very happy to hear he wanted me to be his family's portrait photographer this time. I was extra excited because after shooting dozens of families in Florida for sunset beach photos, this would be my first family desert sunset portrait session!
