Our mission is to serve people, businesses, and communities with imagery that moves them. To constantly challenge ourselves, never become stagnant, and strive for excellence in all we do.
Integrity
We are people of integrity and it is evident in everything we do. To us, this means treating everyone with honesty and respect, being reliable and trustworthy. We use our camera skills for good — our high standards are upheld through the people and businesses we work with.
Generosity
We are endlessly giving our time, talent, and energy to others. We are also generous in our philanthropic efforts, giving back to the community and supporting causes we believe in financially and with our work.
Empowerment
For us, an important part of being a photographer is making others feel comfortable and good about themselves. We are welcoming of any person in front of our lens. Our goal is to listen, help build confidence, and hope that everyone leaves our presence feeling uplifted.
Optimism
We’re known for being miracle workers. Endlessly ambitious, with relentless optimism, and somehow always exceeding expectations. We see challenges as opportunities because we know everything is figure-out-able.
Our Process
Most people have never had professional pictures taken or worked with a photographer before. It can be a daunting experience searching for the right people to capture the imagery you need.
Our expert staff will guide you through the whole process, making planning your photoshoot easy and painless. On the day of your session, one of our highly skilled and personable photographers will beautifully capture all of the imagery you want and need, all while making you feel at ease in front of the camera.
We’ll take care of the hard stuff, you just show up and smile.
01 Discovery & Planning
First we take the time to learn about you, your project, and the who, what, where, when, and why behind it. We’re here to help you plan and execute your vision. And, of course, we welcome you to the Front Room family.
02 Photoshoot Day!
Our favorite part! We’ll use our experience to guide the session and creative problem solve on the fly as needed. We’ll joke and laugh and make you feel totally at ease in front of the camera.
03 Deliver & Enjoy
Before you know it, your photos and videos will be ready to share with the world. In addition to digital files, we also offer finished pieces such as albums, gift prints, and more.
