Welcome to the Leading Edge.

When you need to document construction progress, research the lay of the land, or obtain a photo of your home to share with future grandchildren, we can help.

To sign up for your photo, visit the Sign Up page and let me know.  We typically turn around photos within a week (depending on weather), but are available to schedule into the future or on a recurring basis.

Where do we work?

Based in Northeast Kansas, we are able to provide aerial photographs for the entire KC Metro area, and are available for shoots as far west as Topeka, as far north as Hiawatha, and as far south as Mound City.  Outside that area and still need a photo?  Send me a message and we'll discuss the details. 

How do we do it?

Aerial photographs can be taken from small airplanes, helicopters, kites, or even elevated poles.  While Leading Edge will employ any of the above methods to get the shot you need, we find that small aircraft are the most reliable and cost efficient.

Why do we do it?

Because we love to fly and we love photography!  There is nothing like crawling into a small airplane.  There's a rush of excitement on take off and then the beauty of our world begins to shine.  At a thousand feet above the ground, the insignificant and sometimes overwhelming details of the day-to-day grind fade away, and the serenity of the bigger picture shows itself.  Both natural beauty and manmade order are revealed, and both vision and understanding are enhanced.

This lofty vision is enjoyed by only a few, and it is a shame.  The view is beautiful, and we want to share it with you.  It can bring you joy or pride or even business efficiency.  It is up to you.  It is here for you.  Just sign up.
