About the pilot
Travis D. Heitmann
I own and run Heitmann Productions from Kalispell, Montana.
I am a photographer, videographer, and FAA licensed and insured drone pilot based in Kalispell. I pair ground camera work with aerial and FPV flight when a listing or build needs that extra pass, and I deliver clear photo and video for homes, job sites, and local brands across the Flathead Valley.

The story
I am a Kalispell photographer and FAA drone pilot who works the valley floor and the open sky.
Montana is not a backdrop. It is home. Growing up here is how I learned to read a valley, a river lot, a job site, or a family gathering, and that shows up in the frames clients take to market.
Heitmann Productions is a one-operator media shop. I own the work end to end: stills, video, licensed and insured drone photo and video, and FPV fly-through when a listing or build needs that extra pass.
You get clean files, clear communication, and media you can put on a listing or a job update the same week when the schedule allows. My college path included video production at Grace Christian University, Class of 2016, and the work has stayed practical ever since.
The work
I cover the ground camera, aerial, and FPV work myself.
I use photography and videography for homes, builds, and local brands. We provide what clients need: interiors plus aerial, progress photos, video, and timelapse. Clean stills for marketing or film for the web and social, not a problem. Events, portraits, landscape, and Montana tourism-style content are available as well. If your job is not listed here, send a note. Training days and one-off shoots are welcome.
Real estate
Listings that read clearly
I shoot aerial and interior photo and video for homes, rentals, and short-term stays across the Flathead and Western Montana.
Construction
Progress you can track
I capture photo, video, and timelapse so crews and clients stay aligned on deadlines, training, and the build itself.
Brands and people
Marketing, events, and portraits
I create business media, event coverage, family and outdoor portraits, and wedding or elopement video when the day calls for it.
Northwest Montana
I keep the work local because I live here.
I live in the Flathead Valley. I know the light and the towns because I grew up with them, not because they are a scenic backdrop.
Clients book from Kalispell, Whitefish, Bigfork, Columbia Falls, Polson, and the wider Flathead Valley, with western Montana work beyond that. Jobs have also taken me toward Glacier, the Libby area, Hungry Horse, Rollins, Elmo, Plains, and Alberton.
That local base is practical. You get someone who already knows how a valley lot, a lake place, or a job site reads on camera.

Trust
Here is what clients say about the work.
Heitmann Productions holds a 5.0 rating from dozens of clients across the Northwest recommending the work. The same notes keep coming back: on time, easy to work with, clear communication, quick turnaround, and clean photo and drone files.
Had a great experience working with Travis for our listing photos. Showed up on time, was easy to work with, and knew exactly how to make the house look its best without overcomplicating anything. Turnaround was quick and the photos came out clean and professional.
Working with Travis was absolutely a pleasure. He listened to my ideas and made them come to life. He is professional, kind, a great communicator, and very fast on turnaround for my real estate listing video.
I have been very pleased with Heitmann Productions. Travis does excellent drone work and photography, and the quality is consistently top-notch. He is professional, easy to work with, and delivers exactly what he says he will.
