The Beauty of the Treasure Valley
Not that many years ago, the only way to see the Treasure Valley from above was from the window of a plane or a helicopter. Speeding overhead, you'd only get a few minutes to enjoy the view of the Boise Mountains, the Boise River winding through downtown Boise up to Payette, the Snake River to the south, the Owyhees to the west, and the cities between them.

From a satellite perspective, the Treasure Valley resembles a witch with hair flowing behind her, or a pirate with a long cloak. From a drone's perspective, the Valley is many things–an enchanting blend of sagebrush, cottonwood trees, homes, businesses, and farms that is constantly changing, not only with the seasons, but with continuous development.

Today there are new options for getting aerial images. Namely, drone photography. Thanks to their small size, drones are easier to maneuver than helicopters or airplanes. This allows them to capture images and video from a closer perspective. Plus–or more importantly–they're less expensive to acquire and maintain, making drone photography a perfect choice to acquire aerial images for real estate, industrial, commercial, agricultural needs, and events. 

 

Drone Videography: Showcasing Boise and Beyond 
Imagine soaring over the inbound and outbound traffic through downtown. With a drone, the intricate details of historic Basque Block buildings or the modern curves of the Boise Centre come alive. Drone footage dives into the heart of the city, showcasing the bustling energy of farmers markets and festivals–like Treefort and Art in the Park–or the rhythmic flow of traffic along avenues lined with art deco architecture, now a century old.


You can swoop over Municipal Park and down historic Warm Springs Ave. to the Botanical Gardens and the historic Old Idaho Penitentiary. As two of the most visited sites in the state, both by visitors and residents, you're likely to see a lot of people walking around between crumbling yellow-gray cellhouses and verdant, colorful rose bushes.

Outside of Boise, you can glide above the busy streets of Meridian and Nampa, and appreciate the large parks and the quiet, rolling fields that approach the Owyhees.

Drone photography and videography offer a fresh perspective on the city we love, revealing hidden beauty and a deeper appreciation for the Treasure Valley's unique character.

 

The Power of Drone Photography

City development takes flight with the help of drone photography. These agile aerial cameras provide a bird's-eye view that is revolutionizing urban planning. Drone footage allows developers and architects to grasp the big picture, visualizing how new structures, streets, and landscaping will integrate with existing infrastructure.

Traffic flow analysis becomes easier, as drones capture the rhythm of the city's metaphorical arteries. Identifying problem areas, like overcrowded intersections and underutilized green (or brown) spaces, becomes easier with comprehensive aerial data.

Drone mapping aids in infrastructure projects, offering the possibility of precise measurements and real-time progress updates for developers with a reasonable price tag. This innovative technology ensures informed decision-making, leading to smarter, more sustainable city development.

For construction, local businesses, and real estate, drone photography can be especially useful. Consider using drone photography to - 

 
  • Showcase Your Location in Context: Imagine a restaurant with a stunning patio overlooking a river or a charming shop nestled in a historic district. Drone footage can capture these unique aspects, giving potential customers a better sense of the overall experience.
 
  • Highlight Unique Features: Does your business have a rooftop terrace with breathtaking views? Is a sprawling outdoor seating area perfect for summer gatherings? Drone footage can put these features front and center, making your business stand out from competitors.
 
  • Create Engaging Social Media Content: Attention-grabbing drone videos are perfect for enhancing the buzz of your business. Show bustling crowds at your latest event, the meticulous craftsmanship of your products being made, or a behind-the-scenes look at your team in action.
 
  • Boost Real Estate Listings: Elevate your real estate listings with stunning drone visuals. Showcase the entire property, surrounding amenities, and 360° views, giving potential buyers an improved sense of the location and its potential.
 

For Local Events, Aerial Videography and Photography Helps

You can use aerial videography and photography at your events to:
  • Generate Buzz and Excitement: Create a captivating trailer for your event using drone footage. Raise the energy of the location, the beauty of the setting, and the excitement of past attendees. This will get people talking, and excited to attend future events.
 
  • Offer a Virtual Experience: Drone footage allows you to showcase your event from a unique perspective, giving people a taste of what to expect. This is especially valuable for promoting events in scenic locations or those with a large footprint.
 
  • Live Stream the Action: Concerts, festivals, sporting events, and similar occasions can benefit immensely from live drone streaming. This provides viewers at home with a front-row seat to all the excitement, and encourages higher attendance.
 
  • Capture Breathtaking Memories: Use drone footage to create a stunning video recap of your event. This is a fantastic way to share lasting memories with attendees and promote your future events.
