We've shot hundreds of properties and literally thousands of rooms, from tiny chambers to grand suites. Our food shoots have ranged from "mom and pop" bed and breakfast food to "top chef" haute cuisine.</span></li> <li><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span lang="EN">We have a unique background, having worked both in the photography field and the hospitality business. As owners of a successful lodging business, we developed an understanding of the types of images that actually sell rooms and set you apart from your competition. We bring this experience and perspective to the shoot, making suggestions and helping to formulate strategies. </span></span></li> <li><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span lang="EN">Our photos go beyond simply a visual description of a space or place. Our combination of technical expertise and first-hand knowledge of the inn guest results in images that conjure up mood and emotion. These types of images translate into increased occupancy, higher room rates and a tangible effect on your bottom line. </span></span></li> <li><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span lang="EN">We style and stage the photos to give a sense of warmth and to illustrate the concept we are conveying. The camera sees things very differently than the naked eye - we often make significant adjustments to decor and furniture arrangements to create the best photo. Interior photography styling is an art in itself.<br /> </span></span></li> <li><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span lang="EN">We provide a CD of high-resolution digital images, edited and ready to pop onto your website or provide to publications which demand high quality photos. Great pictures drive press coverage. </span></span></li> <li><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span lang="EN">We shoot digital, saving hundreds of dollars in film cost and scanning fees. </span><span lang="EN"><br /> </span></span></li> <li><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span lang="EN">Lighting and Photo Equipment: When we arrive at your location for a shoot, we will be carrying over $10,000 worth of cutting-edge digital camera bodies, pro lenses and extensive lighting equipment</span> specially suited for interior photography.</span></li> <li><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span lang="EN">We make the process fun and hassle-free! </span></span></li> <li> </li> </ul> <p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><strong><span style="font-size: small;">We help you get Publicity and Press</span></strong></span></span></p> <p>Investing in great professional photography helps get you more and better press placements - it's a fact. We have developed a tool exclusively for our customers to make it easier to communicate and get images to the press,<a href="http://photos.jumpingrocks.com/" target="_blank"> Jumping Rocks Media Bank</a> (JRMB). Just launched in 2008, it has already generated tens of thousands of dollars (in terms of ad-space rates) in dozens of newspapers, magazines, online media and TV. When the press come to us for pictures, we send them to Jumping Rocks Media Bank. When a travel writer comes to your door or calls, you can give them your custom URL (http://photos.jumpingrocks.com/YOURBUSINESSNAME) that is password protected. To date JRMB is hosting over 8,000 images!</p> <p>All pictures are hosted at six resolutions from small to original (very large) size, making it easy for you to use the images in blogs or emails, as well as magazine placements. We can also host high-def or web-sized video, ready for online media to download and use in a few clicks.

By definition, all inns are different; it is not uncommon for one 6-room inn to take as long to photograph as another 12-room inn. For this reason, it is best to </span></span><span lang="EN"><u><a href="mailto:photography@jumpingrocks.com"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">contact us for a customized quote</span></a></u><a href="mailto:photography@jumpingrocks.com"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"> </span></a></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span lang="EN">for your particular inn.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span lang="EN">Each day shoot includes an additional 3 hours of post-production work in Photoshop to correct problems which are impossible to correct during the shoot (electrical outlets, reflections, etc.) as well as image enhancement. (For example a 3-day shoot includes 9 additional hours of post-production work.)</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span lang="EN">If you are contemplating a new website design or renovation, a two-day minimum shoot is strongly recommended. Two- and three-day packages are considered "total website packages", providing enough visual content for a web designer to create an effective, photo-driven website. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span lang="EN">Our rates include:</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span class="sizeless20"><span lang="EN">Stylist/photo assistant</span></span><span lang="EN"> </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span class="sizeless20"><span lang="EN">Travel time to your location (mileage or economy airfare is extra)</span></span><span lang="EN"> </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"> <p><span class="sizeless20"><span lang="EN">Two CDs (one for you and one for your webmaster) with high-resolution images delivered within 7 business days, standard shipping included. </span></span></p> </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span class="sizeless20"><span lang="EN">Non-exclusive reproduction rights for use in promoting your Inn or business in any advertising, editorial and web use, in perpetuity.</span></span><span lang="EN"> </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span lang="EN">Travel costs are reasonable.
