Photography & drone

Photos that make people stop scrolling.

Great photos lease apartments, fill restaurants and make a website feel real. Real estate and apartment photography is our specialty, and we’ll put the drone up when the view from above tells the story better.

  • Real estate & apartments: units, amenities, lobbies and leasing offices
  • Drone & aerial: properties, rooftops, grounds and surroundings from above
  • Hospitality & events: restaurants, bars, venues and live music
  • Portraits & commercial: people, products and businesses at work

Why Nightowl

Small enough to care. Technical enough to build anything.

You work directly with the people doing the work. No account managers, no outsourcing, no surprise invoices for “quick changes.”

  • Hand-built, never a template. Your site is designed and coded for your business, so it’s fast and it looks like you.
  • Found on Google. Page titles, descriptions, Google-readable business details and sitemaps are set up properly from day one.
  • Looked after. Hosting, security certificates, updates, backups and spam-proof forms are handled for you.
  • Local. We’re right here in Western New York, and you always deal with the people who built your site.

  2. Design

    We plan the pages and the look around your brand and your photos, and you see it before it goes live.

  3. Build & launch

    Hand-written, fast and mobile-first, with search basics in place. We handle the domain and the move from your old host.
