1216 N Northwest Hwy, Park Ridge — Real Estate Photography & Aerial Drone Media
Located in the highly desirable suburb of Park Ridge, Illinois, 1216 N Northwest Hwy is a classic brick single family home situated in one of Chicagoland's most sought after communities. Ogi Optics was brought in by realtors Paul Froiland and Michelle Russell to deliver a professional photography and aerial drone package — designed to present this property at its best across MLS and social media platforms.
This shoot focused on capturing the home's timeless brick exterior, manicured lawn, and the surrounding Park Ridge neighborhood from above — showcasing the tree lined streets and established community that make this location so desirable.
What Was Included in This Shoot
For this listing we delivered a focused exterior and aerial media package built to tell the complete story of this property and its location:
Front exterior photography showcasing the home's classic brick architecture, green lawn, and strong curb appeal
Multiple exterior angles capturing the full property including driveway and lot depth
Aerial drone imagery showing the property from above including lot size, layout, and surrounding neighborhood
Wide neighborhood aerial shots providing buyers with full community and location context
Marketing-ready images optimized for MLS and social media platforms
Visual Story Approach
The shoot opened with a strong front exterior hero shot — classic brick, manicured green lawn, and blue sky that immediately communicates quality and curb appeal. A wider exterior angle followed to show the full property width and driveway access.
The drone pulled back to reveal the property from directly above, giving buyers a clear picture of the lot size and layout. A wider neighborhood aerial then placed the property in the context of Park Ridge's established, tree lined streets — communicating the lifestyle and community that comes with this location.
Why This Approach Works
Park Ridge is one of Chicagoland's most competitive real estate markets. Buyers here are informed, discerning, and expect professional media that matches the quality of the homes they are considering. Classic brick homes like this one have a timeless appeal that professional photography captures beautifully — and aerial drone imagery adds the neighborhood context that helps buyers feel confident before they ever schedule a showing.
At Ogi Optics every shoot is approached as a creative partnership — delivering media that helps agents like Paul Froiland and Michelle Russell present their listings with clarity, professionalism, and impact.
