About Four Lakes Media

-Justin Lackner-
15 years photographing Madison-area homes. FAA Part 107 certified and insured for commercial drone work. Justin also shoots architecture statewide as Lackner Photography, which shapes his approach: straight verticals, natural light, and windows that keep their view instead of blowing out. Architects spot a leaning wall buyers notice it too, even if they can't say why.
-Marissa Haegele-
Marissa moved into real estate from editorial and documentary photography, portraits, music, and photojournalism. She works with what’s there, no moving furniture or waiting for perfect light, and it shows in her listings. She sees a space like a photojournalist: noting real light, what draws the eye, and how a person will feel entering.
Why we bill by the hour
Packages force you to guess a home’s needs and penalize you if you’re wrong. A tri-level with many small rooms can take longer than a larger open ranch. Square footage isn't a good measure. Billing by time means you pay for the actual job, not a guessed tier. We don’t rush to meet a photo count, you get every useful shot. Likewise, skip an unfinished basement and you won’t be charged for it. We bill in 15-minute increments, round down, and will tell you before starting if a job will take longer than expected.
Own It: Building Black Wealth
A portion of every real estate booking supports Own It: Building Black Wealth, a Madison organization working to close the racial homeownership gap in Dane County.
We believe our community is at its best when we all start on an equal footing.
