Client Overview

Our client reached out looking for a professional Airbnb and VRBO photographer to elevate their North Shore listing near Lutsen, Cook County, Minnesota — a cozy cabin overlooking the Lake Superior shoreline.

……………………………………………………………..

How They Found Us

They discovered UAV Vision Media through Google while searching for Minnesota Airbnb photographers and North Shore cabin rental photography — specifically looking for high-end Airbnb Plus listing imagery.

……………………………………………………………..

How Communication Began

The client initially contacted us through our website’s contact form and followed up via email and phone. After reviewing the creative direction, travel plans, and content goals, we confirmed a weekend shoot in Lutsen, MN.

The Client’s Main Challenge

Their previous photos lacked emotion and didn’t reflect the atmosphere or experience of staying at the cabin. They needed visuals that would attract guests, boost bookings, and highlight the cabin’s connection to the surrounding North Shore — including Grand Marais and nearby state parks.

Why They Chose UAV Vision Media

They were drawn to our experience in both real estate marketing and lifestyle storytelling — a hallmark of Christopher Blaeser’s creative direction at UAV Vision Media.
