On-site photography
From $350
Real photos of your team, your space and your work, shot where it happens in Olympia and the South Sound and edited for your site, Google profile and social. The edited set arrives within 7 days of the shoot.
We do beautiful work and show it with phone photos
Our team page is three selfies and a stock photo
Our Google photos are from the old storefront
Customers can tell a stock photo from your real business
Before someone calls a venue, books a stylist or hires a remodeler, they look at the pictures. Stock images and dim phone shots make a good business look generic. Real photos of your people and your work are the closest thing to walking through your door, and they do that job on every page they sit on.
One planned session feeds a lot of places: the hero on your site, your Google Business Profile, the about page, your posts, a printed flyer. Planning it around those uses up front is what turns a shoot into files you actually use, instead of a folder of nice photos nobody opens.

What happens after you buy.

- Links to your website and Google profile, so we can see the gaps
- The brief call
Pay the deposit by link, then a short call: what you want customers to see and where each photo will run. We ask about your space, your people and the best time of day to shoot.
- Shot list
You get the shot list before the day: which people, which corners of the space, which pieces of work, and which shots are for the site versus social.
- The session
We shoot at your place on the day we set, working around customers and staff. Be open on the day; you don't need to stage anything beyond what's on the list.
- The edit
We pick the strongest frames, correct color and light so the set looks like one shoot, and crop each one for where it's going.
- Delivery in 7 days
The edited set arrives within 7 days of the shoot, in a shared folder named by use: site, Google profile, social. If a shot on the agreed list is missing or unusable, we reshoot it.
Questions owners ask.
How many photos do I get from a one-hour business photo shoot?
About 15 edited photos from a quick shoot, covering your team, storefront and a few pieces of work. A two-hour shoot gives about 30 edited photos across two setups. If you need photo and video together, more scenes or a fully planned day, Media Day plans a half or full production day around a brief, at one price.
Can I use the photos on my website and Google Business Profile?
Yes. They're yours to use for your business, web and social: your site, your Google profile, your social accounts, flyers and proposals. Fresh photos of the real business also keep your Google listing looking current, which matters when someone is comparing you with the place down the street.
Can you take photos and video in the same visit?
That's a Media Day: photo and video at your place, planned and directed against a brief so everything matches. The on-site photo shoots here are photos only, so each hour goes to the pictures. If you want fresh photos every quarter, Growing and Handled include a two-hour shoot at your business every quarter.
How do I prepare my business for a photo shoot?
Clean and declutter the spaces on the shot list, open the blinds, and schedule the people who should be in frame. Have a finished piece of work or a styled setup ready if you want it shown. Everything else is on the shot list we send ahead, so the session goes to shooting, not deciding.
