PHOTOGRAPHY IS WHERE OUR STORY BEGINS

THE FIRST FRAME
Every Story Begins With What You Show Your Audience
Before there is a campaign, a film, an event, or a message, there is a decision about what you want your audience to see.
Join us as we tell our story through the images we have created along the way on film, in digital photographs, and moving pictures.
Through our work, we have had the privilege of capturing remarkable people, places, and experiences.
We hope that as you explore our story you will find inspiration to tell your own.
More Than a Commercial Photographer
Architectural Photography
Architectural, interior, hospitality, commercial property, and aerial imagery that captures the design, atmosphere, and intent behind a space.
Marketing & Culture
Authentic people, workplace, lifestyle, and marketing imagery created specifically for your organization.
Corporate Headshots
Executive portraits, corporate headshots, team photography, and consistent visual identity for organizations of every size.
Event Photography
Corporate events, conferences, galas, launches, celebrations, and live experiences documented with an editorial eye.
Aerial Imaging
Professional aerial photography and drone imaging for architecture, development, construction, commercial property, events, and marketing.
A PHOTOGRAPH CAPTURES THE MOMENT. VIDEO LETS THE STORY UNFOLD
Video Production
Some stories need more than a single frame.
Our video production brings together cinematography, interviews, sound, motion, editing, and
storytelling to create films that communicate your brand with clarity and emotion.
From corporate communications and brand films to testimonials, social content, documentaries, and live productions,
we approach video with the same attention to story, visual quality, and production detail that defines our photography.
BRAND FILMS
Stories that communicate who you are.
Brand films bring together people, place, purpose, and personality to give audiences a deeper understanding of your organization.
Brand films can include:
Company and brand stories
Corporate culture and recruiting films
Customer and client stories
Product and service stories
Founder and leadership stories
Campaign and marketing films
CORPORATE FILMS
Communication designed for the people who matter to your organization.
Corporate films help organizations communicate clearly with employees, customers, partners, investors, and other important audiences.
Corporate films can include:
Executive and leadership communications
Employee communications
Recruiting and onboarding films
Training and educational videos
Company meetings and presentations
Internal and external corporate communications
INTERVIEWS
BEHIND THE INTERVIEW
In this episode, Karen steps in front of the camera to share our own story during a podcast production we filmed for SwitchLine Digital.
Real people. Authentic voices. Professionally produced.
Interviews bring credibility and a human voice to your story, whether the conversation stands on its own or becomes part of a larger production.
Interview productions can include:
Executive and leadership interviews
Customer and client testimonials
Employee and team stories
Expert and subject-matter interviews
Podcasts and video conversations
Interviews for brand films and documentaries
Long-form storytelling with depth and purpose.
Documentary films give a story the time and space to develop, bringing together interviews, environments, archival material, and cinematic imagery to preserve stories that deserve more than a brief introduction.
Documentary productions can include:
Company and organizational histories
Legacy and anniversary films
People and personal stories
Cultural and community stories
Historical and archival projects
Long-form branded documentaries
DOCUMENTARIES
BEHIND THE DOCUMENTARY
The first episode of La Culture du Vin grew from our 43-piece fine art commission into a documentary production in Champagne, France. The pilot explores the story of Dom Pérignon and the historic village of Hautvillers.
SHORT FORM VIDEO
Turn One Production Into a Month’s Worth of Content
We create short-form video around your brand, your audience, and the platforms where you communicate. A single production can generate a library of polished Reels, vertical videos, interviews, behind-the-scenes moments, product stories, and branded content you can use throughout the month.
Professional Production Isn’t Just for Big Brands
You don’t need a corporate-sized marketing budget to create professional video. We work with small businesses and growing organizations to build productions around what they actually need and what makes sense for their budget.
The same thoughtful planning, professional production, and visual quality we bring to larger corporate projects can be scaled to create an effective content library for your business.
Create Once, Stay Visible
EVENT & LIVE PRODUCTION
More Than Coverage – A Production Partner
From photography and cinematic video to professional audio and live-event production, we help organizations create and execute experiences that look, sound, and feel right.
Through our strategic partnership with Event Production Services, we bring professional audio and comprehensive event production into the same coordinated approach as photography and video. From planning through production, clients can work with an experienced team across the visual, audio, and technical elements of an event.
ONE PRODUCTION – AN ENTIRE LIBRARY OF CONTENT

A well-planned production can create far more than a single finished piece

Photography, interviews, brand films, short-form video, social content, event coverage, and supporting visuals can all be captured as part of one coordinated production.
The result is a library of original content your organization can use across websites, campaigns, presentations, social media, recruiting, communications, and future marketing.
EXPERIENCE MATTERS
The Comfort of Knowing It’s Handled
Commercial productions have moving parts

Locations. Schedules. Executives. Employees. Talent.
Clients. Lighting. Audio. Equipment. Deliverables. Deadlines
The photography or video is only one part of the job
CREATIVE DIRECTION
We begin with what your visual content needs to accomplish.
PRODUCTION
We coordinate the people, locations, equipment and logistics required to execute the project.
EXPERIENCE
Nearly three decades behind the camera means we’ve learned how to anticipate problems before they become problems.
DELIVERY
Professionally finished photography and video prepared for the ways your organization actually needs to use it.
Expertise Built in High-Stakes Environments
Experience Changes How You Approach the Job
The environments we photograph are often the result of months or years of planning,
design, construction, and investment. The photography has to do more than document the finished space.
It has to represent the people and organizations behind it at the highest level.
Our work has taken us inside corporate headquarters, architectural landmarks, major events,
and nationally recognized organizations where there is no second opportunity to get the image right.
From Porsche Cars North America and Porsche Financial Services to the Miss America Pageant
and major corporate and commercial projects, we bring the same approach to every assignment.
We prepare. We understand the objective. We anticipate the challenges.
Then we create the work your organization needs.
