The Values That Drive Our Business and the Experience We Deliver
When you reach out to us for portraits or event coverage, we want you to have a clear sense of what you are stepping into. Yes, the photos matter and yes, the process matters. But the difference working with our team comes from how we think and how we show up for you.
After 20+ years in this industry we put focused effort into understanding what brings out our best and what helps you feel supported. That work led us to 3 Core Values that give shape to how we operate. These values guide the work we do and the experience you will feel from the first conversation to the final delivery.
Many thanks to Robert Glazer and his book “The Compass Within” for a story and process on how to identify and embrace our core values.
Speed Wins
Speed Wins is a frame of mind. You will feel it in the way we communicate, prepare and eventually move through a shoot. When you reach out, you will feel momentum right away. Decisions that move things forward without dragging you through a slow or confusing process shows your time matters and project matters.
You will also see how speed wins in the work we create. Portraits are reviewed in real time. Event photos are delivered during the event instead of days later. Speed keeps energy high and helps amplify the impact of images on your project.
Be the Easy Button
Your world is busy and we know details shift and schedules can change. We show up ready so you can stay focused on your project and what matters most in that moment.
We have been told that we prepare well and we blend in. We stay focused on what needs to be done without adding stress. When the creative team is easy to work with, your day goes smoother and the experience feels simple from start to finish.
Give More in Value Than You Take in Payment
This value shaped us early and comes from the book “The Go-Giver”. When you receive more than you expected, trust grows and the relationship strengthens.
For us this might look like arriving a little early or staying a little longer when the moment calls for it. It might look like delivering images sooner than promised or offering something extra that helps you move forward.
As Seth Godin says, “You’ll pay a lot…but you'll get more than you pay for.”
Why These Values Matter
When you hire a creative team, you want the process to feel clear and steady. Speed reduces the stress on your plate. Being easy to work with keeps your day moving. Generosity builds trust that lasts long after the project ends.
These values shape the experience you will have with us and the way we show up in every room we step into.
If you decide to work with our team, here is what you can expect: Fast action, a simple process and strong images that help your business grow.
We care about the people we serve and we want your experience with us to feel both effective and enjoyable.
