Our Process
We make shoots easy, collaborative, and highly effective — whether it’s your first time hiring a studio or your tenth.
1
Discovery Call & Creative Planning
We start with a 15–30 minute call to learn your goals, inspiration, and content needs. From there, we create a shot list, draft moodboards, and finalize shoot logistics (timing, team, location, and prep needs). This step ensures the shoot reflects your brand’s voice and visual identity.
2
Pre-Shoot Coordination
Before shoot day, we’ll send:
-
A detailed schedule and call time
-
Prep checklist for your space and staff
-
Optional prop or styling recommendations
-
Any specific lighting or setup requirements
We’ll also confirm any dishes, drinks, or rooms to be ready at certain times for efficient flow.
3
Shoot Day
We arrive early to scout and set up. Our team works fast, clean, and respectfully in your space, whether during open hours or privately. Each setup is tailored to highlight what makes your brand stand out, with multiple angles, lighting setups, and movement options (especially for video).
We prioritize:
-
Minimal disruption during service
-
Fast transitions between scenes
-
Real-time direction and on-site collaboration
-
Capturing both clean hero shots and candid/lifestyle moments

FAQ's

There’s no cap — we edit and deliver everything that meets our quality standards. A half-day typically yields 30–50+ edited photos. For video, the deliverables are based on your goals, but most half-day sessions result in 1 polished video and 1–2 cutdowns.
No, but we welcome it! We can bring basic styling tools and props, or you can provide additional elements like branded materials, extra garnish, or models. For lifestyle shoots with people, we can also help coordinate talent.
