I have been working with Darren and the team at LightBoss for several years, and their skill and consistency is unparalleled.

They are reliable and punctual, but what truly sets them apart is their technical expertise and visionary creativity.

On site, the boys are caring and polite, showing genuine respect for every client’s property…whether it’s a $5 million mansion or a $600,000 home.

In the office, Pam is an absolute superstar. I typically hear back within hours, no matter how varied my requests are, and as a typical agent trying to keep everyone happy,

I couldn’t do it without the support of my photography team.
