Steve Ormand
Your 3D Guy
Owner
I have been doing aerial photography for over 5 years now. Aerial imaging can help a realtor or property manager pull away from their competition 10 fold. Now, with the addition of 3D Photography and (Matterport) Virtual Tours, I can show you how to bury your competition. Potential customers look for businesses that stay up to date with technology. With virtual tours, it's like having an "open house" 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ALL over the world. Potential buyers can visit 15 properties in 15 minutes in the comfort of their own home or office. When they contact you, they are ready to look at the few they have narrowed down or they are already approved and ready to buy. Let technology do the work that used to take you hours to do. I can show you how. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Abbe Little
A Little Taste of the Emerald Coast
Owner
I have been visiting the Emerald Coast area for 20 years and always enjoyed trying new restaurants and visiting the different beach communities along Highway 30A. I began visiting the area with a very dear friend and we would have a “progressive 30A day” by stopping at different restaurants for a tasting. This concept turned into my “favorite date day” with my husband by making a list of restaurants we have never tried and traveling to each one to have a tasting. I have found several gems over the years which I have included in the selection of food tours being offered. After a discussion with my sister who was the catalyst for this idea, I've decided to take this passion for good food along with the area and turn it into my next career! My mission is to complement each guests happiness while making their tastebuds happy too!
