Sorry – stock photos and smartphone snaps aren’t cutting it. We need better freakin’ content.

You need help.

Let's face it, your website is far from impressive. Your employee headshots are nothing but a mismatch of bland smartphone snapshots. The business products or services that you offer appear to be outdated stock photos from the last millennium. And, let's not even talk about your so-called "marketing and advertising" campaign; it's nothing compared to the social media pages run by kids. It's high time you realize that your web designer needs better visuals to work with, your marketing manager is in dire need of content, and your CEO is wondering why your website is turning visitors off instead of attracting them. The bottom line is that you need us to upgrade your photo content if you're serious about looking professional and enhancing your website and marketing game.

You need us.

Our clients range from the sole individual who needs a kick-ass professional portrait – to large restaurant or hotel chains that need a consistent style for all their photography needs: epic architectural interiors/exteriors, showcasing professional services, branding / lifestyle portraits of staff & customers, executive headshots, large group photos, food & drink photography, corporate event coverage and much more. 

Who are you?

You’re a business that actively markets / advertises (or wants to). Your team may have headshots, but nobody loves them and your About Us page doesn’t scream “unified team here, at your service.” You know your website should be authentic, professional and visually engaging. You know that consistent, high-quality imagery is important to have throughout your brand. You have people, places, products or services that could use an upgrade. Maybe it’s just one part (like executive team photos), or maybe you need the nuts-to-bolts, whole enchilada kind of makeover. No matter what, there’s…

Zero Risk.

Look, we know you’re not a fan of getting your picture taken. We feel your pain, but we’ve done this for thousands of people and truly know our craft and how to quickly get the best possible photos of your team (our world-class editing sure doesn’t hurt, either!). We’re so confident you’ll be thrilled with what we can do for your business, we don’t ask for money up front. Once you SEE the results of what we’ve professionally captured and artistically retouched, you’ll be happy to pay. It’s at that point you’ll realize, “hey, these guys are super good – we dodged a bullet by not hiring any of those cheaper bids we had.”

 
 

Our Simple Process to Making Your Company Look Amazing:

Step One:

  • Set up a quick phone call with Chris, that handsome devil you see there.

  • Establish we are a good fit, determine the scope of your project / needs

  • Set a date for the shoot

Step two:

  • We prepare your staff’s point person for how to best schedule everyone (fun logistical stuff) to ensure everything runs smoothly

  • We provide a guide you can distribute to staff so they are informed & prepared day-of

Step THREE:

  • Shoot day! We arrive 30-60mins early to scout location ideas and set up lighting & photo review station, ready to start shooting at our pre-set start time

  • We coach each person into natural poses that work for them. It’s fluid, fast and fun – not awkward or forced.

  • Review photos immediately with each person so they can select their faves / take a few more if wanted

Once you are satisfied we are capturing amazing photos for your company, we will provide an invoice at that point.
Our policy is NO MONEY up-front with new clients.

How We Help Companies Like Yours:

We create authentic, amazing photographic content for businesses big and small, across all industries. The chances are high that your goods or services are not being well represented by your website or marketing materials. It is absolutely critical to have compelling imagery, no matter what kind of business you have. You have a split second to capture the attention of your ADHD audience, and sorry – stock photos and smartphone snaps aren’t cutting it in an age where authenticity matters.

Traditional headshot or creative portrait?

It's your choice – why don't we try both? Whether you need one head shot for your LinkedIn profile or your corporation needs 50 corporate portraits – we've got you covered.

Looking for something more candid, fun or creative? We love coming up with fresh new concepts with our clients!

Think your smartphone photo is good enough? There’s no replacement for an experienced pro to help effortlessly guide you through ideal poses for your body type, using the most flattering lighting, and top-notch image retouching to make you look even better than your best. We can make you younger / thinner if you prefer – but at some point maybe we should just succumb to our AI overlords and let them create our headshots from scratch (bye formerly awesome business model!).

Look, we know your marketing is constantly harassing you for quality content – consider your next event an opportunity to blow them away with an amazing library of images covering all aspects of your next event. Photos of VIP speakers, a packed and attentive audience, location details, candid guest interaction, directed group shots, and even professional headshot photography are just a slice of what we consider “standard coverage” when you’re our client.

Here’s a long, boring list of what kind of events we cover that nobody except a search engine is likely to read: awards banquets, conferences, seminars, retreats, incentive trips, annual meetings, sales meetings, sales training, strategic planning, trade shows, board meetings, client appreciation events, corporate parties, company holiday parties, galas, mixers, shareholder meetings, charity functions, press conferences, VIP events, grand openings, and company picnics. Our professional photographers have extensive experience in capturing the essence of each event, from the formal setting of a shareholder meeting to the lively atmosphere of a company picnic. We ensure that the photos we take convey the spirit of the occasion and highlight the key moments and people involved. Our corporate photography services offer a valuable investment in documenting and promoting your company's events and milestones. Still here? Still awake? Do us all a favor and click that button right there.
