JLA's taking our video and photo storytelling to new heights with FAA-certified drone services! We're bringing new angles to documenting public projects across the northwest.

Drone videography and photography is an effective way to show project context and construction progress, including for sites that don't have public access or that cover a large geographic scale.

We've frequently used drone footage within our videos, but offering drone service in-house makes it affordable and accessible for a wide range of our projects and clients.

We're so pleased to have been able to provide this service for City of Bend, City of Portland, OR, Portland Parks & Recreation, Portland General Electric, and Multnomah County,.

Get in touch if sky-high storytelling can help tell your story!

📽️💫 Cheers to JLA's digital storytelling champion and newly certified drone operator - Sam Beresky! 💫📽️

Our team had so much fun at Douglas supporting ’s SE Stark & Washington Street Safety Project this past weekend at the Lunar Year Celebration. This was a great event with students, families, and faculty alike celebrating Lunar New Year with vibrant performances, food, and cultural traditions. It was a wonderful opportunity to share project information and connect with the DDHS community.

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy Lunar New Year! 新年快樂 Chúc mừng năm mới!

Huge thank you to DDHS’s Asian Student Union for hosting this event and to the White Lotus Dragon and Lion Dance Group for the amazing performance.

🛹 Rad event + new service announcement! 🛹 JLA has the privilege of supporting Portland Parks & Rec and DAO Architecture on an exciting public event for the Steel Bridge Skate Park. Join on Sunday to see the designs and participate in activities, including an amazing raffle supported by local businesses! JLA’s Sam Beresky captured drone footage of the site to include in a new project video. It’s his first project working with the drone after recently gaining FAA certification. We look forward to offering this service on more projects coming up.
