Services


 

hospitality & tourism Photography

Hotels, resorts, mountain lodges, boutique properties, spas, and event venues — hospitality photography sells an experience before a guest ever arrives. Every image has to earn its place: interiors that communicate warmth and scale simultaneously, exterior shots that anchor the property in its landscape, and lifestyle imagery with real guests that avoids every stock-photo cliché. We work with the property's design language, natural and supplemental light, and the specific booking channels the images will serve — OTA listings, brand websites, social, and print collateral.

product Photography

Clean, compelling product imagery that converts browsers into buyers. Whether it's a single hero shot for a DTC brand launch, a catalog of 200 SKUs for an e-commerce rollout, or in-context lifestyle shots showing your product in real environments, every image is built to perform in its specific channel. Studio setups with seamless white, textured surfaces, and detailed close-up work are all available depending on what the product and brand identity demand. Post-production includes clipping paths, background removal, and color accuracy calibration for digital and print.

food and beverage photography

From upscale restaurant menus to packaged consumer goods, craft spirits to specialty coffee brands — food and beverage photography requires a rare combination of technical precision and genuine culinary sensibility. We work directly with your kitchen team, food stylists, and brand guidelines to produce imagery that looks exactly like the product your guests and customers will receive. Beverage photography — beer, wine, spirits, RTDs — is a particular specialty, covering liquid clarity, condensation, pour shots, and cocktail styling in both studio and in-situ environments.

 

lifestyle photography

Authentic, in-context imagery of real people living real experiences with your brand. Lifestyle photography is the connective tissue of modern brand marketing — the imagery that populates social feeds, paid advertising, brand websites, and seasonal campaigns. Done well, it feels genuinely documentary. We cast, direct, and produce lifestyle shoots from concept to delivery — including location scouting across Colorado's extraordinary outdoor environments and urban settings — for outdoor, active, wellness, consumer, and professional brands.

drone photography

FAA Part 107 certified aerial photography and video for commercial applications. Drone coverage transforms the way properties, construction sites, events, and landscapes are documented and marketed — providing context, scale, and perspective that's impossible from the ground. Real estate and land developers use aerial photography to show parcel boundaries and neighborhood context. Hospitality brands use it to reveal the full resort experience. We coordinate with local airspace authorities as needed and carry full commercial drone insurance on every flight.

non-profit photography

The most important photography in the world tells human stories that move people to act — to donate, to volunteer, to advocate. Non-profit photography requires the ability to build genuine trust with subjects in difficult or vulnerable circumstances and to translate complex missions into single, indelible images. We work with foundations, advocacy organizations, social service agencies, and conservation groups to produce photography for annual reports, grant applications, capital campaigns, and digital fundraising — imagery that makes the mission impossible to ignore.

Experience


 


15 years,

One consistent standard.

Commercial photography in Denver has changed dramatically over fifteen years — the platforms, the formats, the production pace. What hasn't changed is what makes an image actually work: light, timing, intention, and an understanding of what the client needs the image to do.

Based in Denver with deep roots in the Colorado market and an established track record of national work, this practice serves brands from their first product launch to their hundredth campaign — and every kind of project in between.

Full-Service Production Capability

From pre-production planning and location scouting to food styling coordination, model casting, drone permitting, and post-production delivery — complete project management is available for campaigns that require it.

How We Work


 


1

Discovery & Brief

A detailed conversation about your brand, goals, end-use channels, timeline, and budget. A creative brief is developed that aligns expectations before any shooting begins.



2

pre-production

Location scouting, prop and styling sourcing, model casting, shoot day scheduling, drone permitting, and logistics coordination — all handled before the camera comes out.



3

Production

The shoot — executed on schedule, on brief, and with the creative flexibility to capture what wasn't planned but was worth keeping. Most clients are present on shoot day; remote review is also available.



4

Post & Delivery

Culling, color grading, retouching, and format optimization for your specific end-use channels. Private gallery delivery with revision rounds built into the process before final files are released.

Frequently Asked Questions


 

Do you work with brands outside of Colorado?

Yes — national commercial work is a regular part of this practice. Many clients are based outside Colorado and engage specifically for shoots set against Colorado's landscape and environments. For out-of-state brand campaigns, travel is quoted transparently as part of the project proposal, and is often bundled into larger engagements at reduced rates.


Can you handle food styling and prop sourcing, or do we need to provide those?

Both models work. For clients with existing relationships with food stylists and prop houses, we integrate seamlessly. For clients who need full-service production, we coordinate food styling, prop sourcing, location rentals, and talent casting as part of pre-production. What's important is that the conversation happens early — great food photography almost always depends on great styling, and that takes lead time.


What's your turnaround time for commercial projects?

Standard commercial turnaround is 5–10 business days from the end of the shoot. This includes culling, color grading, base retouching, and gallery delivery. More complex projects — high-volume product catalogs, multi-day campaigns — may require additional post-production time, established upfront in the proposal. Rush turnaround of 1–3 business days is available at an additional fee.


Can we bundle multiple disciplines — drone and hospitality, for example — in the same shoot?

Yes, and it's often the most efficient approach. A hotel property shoot might include interior photography, food and beverage coverage, drone exteriors, and lifestyle imagery — all in a coordinated two-day production. Bundled projects are typically more cost-effective than booking each discipline separately, and a single photographer who knows the property produces more cohesive results than multiple specialists working independently.

How is commercial photography priced?

Commercial photography is project-priced based on scope: number of shoot days, complexity of pre-production, number of final deliverables, and intended usage. A simple product shoot is priced differently from a multi-day lifestyle campaign with talent and location fees. Every project receives a detailed proposal with line-item transparency — reach out and we'll return a quote within 24 hours.


What do drone photography shoots require to arrange?

All commercial drone operations are conducted under FAA Part 107 certification with full commercial insurance. For shoots in controlled airspace near airports or in urban environments, we file the appropriate authorizations (LAANC where applicable) in advance. We handle all permitting — you don't need to navigate any of this yourself.


How do you approach non-profit photography differently from commercial brand work?

The core discipline is the same — compelling images that drive the viewer toward a specific action. But non-profit photography has additional ethical dimensions: building genuine trust with subjects in vulnerable circumstances, navigating consent and privacy considerations, and representing communities with accuracy and dignity rather than exploiting hardship for emotional impact. Fifteen years of mission-driven work means these aren't new questions.


What's the best way to start a commercial photography project?

Share what you're working on — even if the brief isn't fully formed yet. The most useful initial conversations are the ones where we establish core goals (what are the images for, what should they make the viewer feel or do) before getting into specifics. From there, we develop a detailed scope and proposal tailored to your project. Most proposals go out within 24 hours of the initial conversation.
