Our Story
About Love 2 Fly
We are Tim and Gwen — a husband-and-wife team based in Columbus, NC who share a passion for aerial photography, the great outdoors, and helping reunite families with their lost pets.
Tim, Gwen, and their furry crew — Jameson, Tully & Maggie
Meet Tim
Tim is an FAA-certified drone pilot with a passion for capturing the world from above. Whether it's a sweeping real estate shoot, an event, or an emergency thermal search for a lost animal, Tim brings professionalism and dedication to every flight.
With years of experience flying in diverse conditions across the Southeast and beyond, Tim has the expertise to deliver stunning imagery and life-saving search results.
Meet Gwen
Gwen is the heart behind Love 2 Fly's lost animal search operations. An avid hiker and outdoor enthusiast, Gwen brings knowledge of Western NC's terrain and an unwavering commitment to helping families find their beloved companions.
Her empathy and calm in high-stress situations make her an invaluable partner in every search mission — and her dogs Jameson and Tully keep everyone smiling along the way.
Meet Tully
Tully may be a senior member of the team, but don't let that title fool you—he still shows up every day with the joyful, tail-wagging, larger-than-life spirit that only a 4-year-old Lab can bring. He's got that perfect mix of wisdom and wild enthusiasm, the kind that keeps everyone smiling and reminds us not to take life too seriously.
His true happy place is the great outdoors, where he can stretch his legs, sniff out adventure, and fully embrace his role as the Alpha Dog he was clearly born to be. Whether he's leading the charge, patrolling the yard, or soaking up every exciting moment outside, Tully carries himself with the kind of confidence and charm that makes him impossible not to love.
And of course, Tully doesn't do it alone. Alongside his brother Jameson, he's at the heart of everything we do. The two of them are more than just part of the story—they are the inspiration behind it. Their loyalty, personality, and unmistakable bond are the real reason we pour so much love into what we do every single day.
Meet Jameson
Jameson joined our family two years ago and quickly became a beloved member of both our home and Team Love 2 Fly. Affectionately known as "Jamo," he brings the perfect mix of energy, personality, and charm to every day.
"Jamo" has a wonderful way of balancing fun and relaxation. He loves to play, explore, and keep everyone entertained, but he is just as happy stretching out and soaking up the warm Carolina sunshine. His easygoing nature and lovable spirit make him a joy to be around, whether he is in the middle of an adventure or simply enjoying a peaceful moment in the sun.
What truly makes Jameson so special is his hilarious personality. He has a way of making us laugh every single day with his expressions, antics, and one-of-a-kind character. His playful spirit and natural charm have made him not only an important part of our family, but also a true favorite on Team Love 2 Fly.
Jameson fills our days with laughter, love, and plenty of unforgettable moments, and we feel so lucky to have him as part of our team.
In Memoriam
Maggie
Senior Company Advisor & Eternal Bed Enthusiast
Maggie was more than the senior company advisor, she was the perfect example of not taking life too seriously. Most days she could be found conserving her energy on one of the several beds throughout the house/office, biding her time for the more important things in life. We'll miss you sweet girl.
Maggie lives on as the name of our Thermal drone we use to search for lost animals; she will always help us bring them home.
