G’day, Las Vegas! Some of the best things that have happened to AUSSIE GOT IT started in the most ordinary ways. A referral. A handshake at a networking event. And in the case of our brand photographer, Makayla Hopper, a Meta ad.
How a Meta Ad Introduced Us to Makayla
We spend a lot of time on Meta ads at AUSSIE GOT IT. Most days, they’re about getting our instant estimate into the right hands. Every once in a while, though, an ad does something better. It puts the right person in front of you. That’s how Makayla Hopper, Founder and CEO of The Archive Media House, came into our lives.
You know that feeling when you meet someone and you just know they’re genuine? There’s no pitch and no posturing. They have a light about them, and it fills the room. That was Makayla from our very first conversation. Reece and I walked away saying the same thing: she’s one of the good ones.
Makayla’s Meta ad, created by Casey Reynolds of Greative Media.
“SOME PEOPLE JUST HAVE A LIGHT. MAKAYLA IS ONE OF THEM.”
From Coffee to Collective
What started as a conversation quickly turned into a real working relationship. Makayla has broken bread with our crew and our Aussie Collective partners, she has followed our technicians on the job with her camera in hand, and today she leads our quarterly brand shoots. She even makes room for an extra one-hour onsite session each month, so we can keep capturing our people at work between the big shoots.
Why We Chose Real Photography in an Age of AI
Here’s the truth. Right now, anyone can type a sentence and get back a perfect picture of a spotless kitchen and a smiling cleaner who doesn’t exist. AI images are everywhere, and they’re all starting to look the same. We didn’t want AUSSIE GOT IT to look like everyone else.
When you book with us, you’re inviting someone into your home or your business. You deserve to see the actual people who will walk through your door, the actual products they’ll use, and the actual care they put into the work. A prompt can’t give you that. Only a camera, and a photographer who cares, can.
“WE DON’T NEED TO GENERATE OUR TEAM. WE JUST NEED TO SHOW YOU WHO THEY ARE.”
Every Photo Tells the Truth
Every photo you see from Makayla’s shoots on aussiegotit.com is real. Real crew members. Real Las Vegas homes. Real steam rising off a granite countertop. Those details matter, because they’re the same details that matter when we’re on the job.
A Day on the Job, Through Makayla’s Lens
Makayla spent the day with our crew, room by room. From the kitchen to the bathroom to the bedroom, she captured the little moments that add up to a home that feels cared for.
Real People Build Real Trust
Trust is the whole business. It’s why every pro we send is insured, vetted, and background checked. It’s why we use our own proprietary all-natural Australian cleaning solution, safe for families and pets. It’s why we’re proud to be NGLCC Certified and Minority Owned, and why we own the experience from booking to follow-up. Real photography is one more way of keeping that promise out in the open.
“ONE COMPANY. MANY SOLUTIONS.”
Thank You, Makayla
Makayla, thank you for seeing us. Thank you for making our crew feel comfortable in front of the camera, and for capturing who we really are. If your business is ready for brand photography that actually feels like you, find Makayla and The Archive Media House on Instagram at @thearchivemediahouse.
And to our neighbors in Las Vegas, Henderson, and Summerlin: keep an eye out. Our next collective shoot is coming up this November, and we can’t wait to show you more of the people behind AUSSIE GOT IT.
