We've had several of these aerial photographs done over the years.
There is a commercial business that comes every four years and we have bought from that setup twice....very pricey but you do know beforehand when they will be in the area. (Their pictures are protected and you're not supposed to copy etc. etc.) They are hard-sell and not too negotiable. However, there are the ones that come without warning peddling aerial photos and those you can negotiate with as they are 'stuck' with the photos, unfortunlately, this guy came less than a month after the first-class company came by so he left with nothing as quite honestly other than tlaler corn and beans there wasnt much difference.
I also had a pilot that does aerails for our company that I was in the line of flight and had him take aerial photos ($125) and they were just as good as the commercial ones. And those I can copy/crop etc all I want. Resolutions are not as good but still very much quality photos.
