Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
I (Marge Beaver) bought my plane in 1982 and have been shooting, processing, printing and framing aerial photos ever since
What is your primary product or service?
Custom aerial photography of homes, boats and businesses as well as stock aerial photos available for wall decor. I also have three coffee table style books, "Above the North" and "Above West Michigan" and the newest, "Above the Lighthouses - Lake Michigan". They are in book stores or personalized copies are available directly through me.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I have been involved in photography all my life, and when I learned to fly, it was a great way to turn two loves into a successful business as well as share my love of the views I see with other people.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
I have more experience than any of my competitors, own my own plane customized for both vertical & oblique photography, and I use the finest camera equipment available. I also can print enlargements up to 44" by any length in-house and add mattes and graphics if desired.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
My office and lab are in my home, and I have no plans to change this arrangement.
Provide detailed directions to your location
I live in Norton Shores on the SE corner of Goody & Wickham. Goody is just a block long east off of Wickham between Hendrick and Porter. I can email a map if asked.
