Social media packages in Los Angeles

What stays the same in all three

The camera is the only thing that changes between packages. Every plan includes the same work around it, because that work is what actually moves an account:

• Strategy and planning Positioning, content pillars, and a monthly calendar built around the customers you want more of.
• A monthly shooting day On location at your business, anywhere within about an hour of Downtown LA at no travel charge.
• Editing Reels, carousels, and stories cut, captioned, and color finished. Vertical first, with the crops you need for other placements.
• Posting and scheduling Everything published at the right times. You approve the plan, we run it.
• Community management Comments and DMs answered in your voice, so attention turns into inquiries instead of evaporating.
• Monthly reporting Reach, saves, follows, and profile actions, in plain language, tied back to what you asked social to produce.

Native: the iPhone package

Shot on iPhone Pro

The kit. The latest iPhone Pro, a three-axis gimbal, a compact LED panel, and wireless lavalier microphones. Everything is shot in the highest quality capture mode the phone offers and graded afterwards, which is a different thing from filming on a phone and posting it raw.

Why it works. Content shot this way reads as native to the feed, and native content outperforms polished advertising on Instagram and TikTok most of the time. It is also fast. A small kit means we move quickly through a business, get more setups per day, and turn edits around within days rather than weeks. If you need to post four or five times a week, this is the package that makes that realiztic.

What you give up. Depth of field, low-light performance, and the controlled look that a full sensor and prime lenses give you. In a dim room or a space that has to look expensive, the phone shows its limits.

Best for restaurants and cafes, salons, barbers, gyms and fitness studios, retail, and any business whose account lives on volume and personality.

Studio: the professional camera package

Shot on full-frame cinema cameras

The kit. A full-frame cinema camera, prime lenses, a proper lighting kit, and dedicated audio recorded separately from the camera. Color is handled in the grade rather than by a preset, which is why the results look consistent across a year of posts instead of drifting month to month.

Why it works. Some businesses cannot afford to look casual. A med spa charging four figures for a treatment, a law firm being vetted by someone about to hand over a serious problem, a brand film that has to survive being played on a wall at an event. Shallow depth of field, controlled light, and clean sound do a specific job: they make the price make sense before anyone has to defend it.

What it costs you. Time. A camera package is slower to set up and slower to cut, so a shooting day produces fewer finished pieces than the Native package does. Most clients who choose Studio pair it with a lighter cadence of higher value posts, or mix in Native days for volume.

Best for med spas and aesthetic practices, dental and orthodontic practices, law firms and professional services, hotels, and brand films.

Aerial: the drone package

Full camera package plus drone

The kit. Everything in Studio, plus drone coverage for the shots no handheld angle can produce: the establishing shot, the reveal over a roofline, the run of a coastline behind a venue, the true scale of a site.

Airspace, handled properly. Large parts of Los Angeles sit inside controlled airspace. LAX, Burbank, Santa Monica, Van Nuys, Hawthorne, and Long Beach all generate controlled zones, and a lot of the Westside and the Valley falls under one of them. We check the airspace class for your exact address and request authorization before the shoot date, not on the morning of it. Where a location cannot be flown at all, we tell you that when you book rather than after you have paid for a shooting day.

Best for real estate listings and agent brand content, construction and development progress, venues and hotels, nightclubs and event spaces, weddings, and large private parties.

Choosing between them

Packages are quoted per business. The number depends on the camera package, how many platforms you run, and how much content you need each month.

Most clients mix them

The packages are not tiers you graduate through. They are tools, and the useful pattern is usually a blend: Native days for the weekly rhythm that keeps an account alive, then a Studio day when there is a new menu, a new treatment, a rebrand, or a film worth making properly, and an Aerial day when a property, a site, or a venue needs to be seen whole.

We will tell you which one your business actually needs, including when that answer is the cheapest one. A restaurant that needs five posts a week is badly served by a cinema camera, and a law firm posting twice a month is badly served by a phone.

Where we shoot

Shooting days happen at your business, across Los Angeles County. Traffic is a real constraint here, so we plan call times and routes around it and group shoots by region where we can. Roughly within an hour of Downtown there is no travel surcharge.
