They say word of mouth is the best form of advertising. However, before you can get good word of mouth, you must first do good work. For those giving you that recommendation have to trust that you will do a good job for their friend, client, or coworker. After all, it’s their reputation that is most on the line in this situation. That’s why I’m very proud of the fact that the overwhelming majority of my business comes from referrals. I actually do very little in the way of advertising and marketing. My former clients, and business parters are my marketing and sales force. It’s something that I a humbled by and always drives me to do even better so that trust might be kept.

This shoot is one that I’m doubly proud of. One, it was a referral from fellow Helena Business Association member Jason Oits, owner of Perk Brands. His company does search engine optimization, marketing, social media, websites, branding, and email marketing. Children’s Harbor Family life center is one of his clients. He’s creating a new website and marketing campaign for them. Their mission is to create a place where very sick children, ones living in Children’s Hospital long term, can go to get away from the daily hospital existence. There’s a game room, computers, basketball court, family kitchen, learning resource center, fitness center, salon, quiet spaces, library, and much more. There’s no cost to the families and the benefits to the children can’t really be measured.

Driven by private donations, Children’s Harbor is constantly needing to market to potential philanthropists, while also increasing awareness of families and children to its existence. Jason knew that I Google 360º virtual tour and my commercial still images would help accomplish both of those goals. Donors could walk through and see all of the facility and see how professional, beautiful, and comprehensive Children’s Harbor is. Parents and Children could see all the offerings and be all the more comfortable once there.

Having spent a lot of time at the Dallas Children’s Hospital with my sister many years ago I had a special appreciation for the mission of Children’s Harbor. I was honored that Jason would refer me to this important client, and that Children’s harbor would choose me to showcase their facility. I’m proud to show off the final results and I know it will serve them well in both goals!

Pathway Pediatrics - Birmingham AL Commercial Photography by Tommy Daspit

Tommy Daspit is a commercial, architectural, real estate, and Google Trusted Photographer in Birmingham, AL

I recently created a Google 360º virtual tour for a newly opened pediatric clinic in Chelsea. They were working with Vehicle Media, a local web design company that I’ve partnered with on several projects in the past, to develop their website. They recommended that I create the Google tour and photos for the site design. I have always enjoyed working with Paul and Greg at Vehicle Media. They do great work and it’s nice to know that they trust me with their clients. I make it a point to only refer my clients to businesses that I know will take good care of them. After all it’s my reputation on the line as well!

I met with Megan, the practice manager and lactation nurse, before construction on the office was complete. Even in it’s unfinished state I knew it would be a great looking place and I was looking forward to photographing it!

In addition to the 360º tour and conventional commercial photos, I also created an interactive version of the tour with HotSpots. This is a new thing I’m offering on the Google tours (see this page to learn more). For the version of the tour embedded on the client’s website and Facebook pages, I can make it interactive. It can be customized with a navigation menu, automatic information when specific areas are viewed, and icons placed throughout that viewers can click on for more information. For example I can embed photo galleries, videos, links to websites or files, more details, etc. It helps a business engage more with the client, keeps them there longer, and helps them feel more connected to the business. It really takes the Google tour to a whole new level!

I’ve embedded the interactive tour below so give it a spin! Let me know what you think in the comments below or send me a message if you'd like to learn more about how this can benefit your company!

Doctor Doug Lewis, DMD - Birmingham, AL - Google Virtual Tour by nikonic1976@yahoo.com

Recently a popular business category for the Google Maps Business View Virtual Tour has been dentists. I recently completed tours for Shelby Pediatric Dentistry and Canales Orthodontics (click the links to view those tours).

We all know that it can be a little scary going to the dentist. You want to make sure that it’s a good practice. That’s why the Google Virtual tour is such a great fit. Potential patients are able to see inside the office and treatment rooms. They are able to get a feel for the environment. Then, once they do come in for an appointment they’re more comfortable. There is a higher level of familiarity, like they’ve been there before.

Last week I was able to create a tour and conventional commercial photography for Dr Doug Lewis in Birmingham near UAB. Dr Lewis and his wife, Nancy, are a great team. They are the nicest people you could ever want to meet and you can tell that the entire staff feels like family. The office itself is near downtown but has its own large parking lot (an amazing thing if you’ve ever been down there. Each treatment chair has it’s own TV so you won’t miss your soaps. Most impressively, they have a special machine that allows you to get permanent crowns right there in the office in one day!

So if you are in need of a dentist, and you are close to downtown, I highly recommend checking out Dr Doug Lewis and his team! Learn more about them on their Google + page and website. Be sure to check out the still photography and virtual tour below!

Canales Orthodontics - Alabaster, Alabama Commercial Photography by nikonic1976@yahoo.com

Angie and Chris Canales are a husband and wife orthodontics team practicing in the Birmingham area. They have three locations, Alabaster, Gardendale, and Brookwood. The Alabaster location is the newest and that’s the one they hired me to create the Google Maps Business View virtual tour of. I will say that I was very excited to create the tour and commercial images. Angie did all the design herself and I must say that she did a fantastic job! The colors, materials, light, are all great and a photographers dream. While I don’t have need for their services yet (I do have 3 kids with number 4 on the way), I can tell you that they are both very wonderful people to work with. Very positive and engaging. Chris and Angie are innovative thinkers as well. The iPad stations for those waiting are like nothing I’ve seen before. So, if you have a need for some teeth straightening in the Birmingham metro area, give Chris and Angie Canales a call!

Learn more about Canales Orthodontics on their website and be sure to check out the still images and virtual tour below!

VisionFirst Eye Center - Trussville Alabama - Google Business Photos by Tommy Daspit Photographer by nikonic1976@yahoo.com

Over the past few weeks I've been creating Google Business Photos 360 virtual tours of the VisionFirst Eye Centers in the Birmingham, Alabama area. The first one is the Trussville location. The building it's self is fantastic looking. Because of weather I did have to go back when the sky wasn't so gray. I think you will agree that it was worth the effort. I was very impressed by the staff at VisionFirst. Everyone was very professional and great to work with. I could tell by watching their patient interactions that they know what they're doing and really care for them. The amount of state of the art equipment was very impressive as well. There was training going on for the staff nearly every time I went in. I know that they will do an excellent job for you if you need eye care! Check out the virtual tour and sample still images below! [gallery type="circle" ids="1746,1740,1741,1742,1743,1744,1745,1747"]
