Documenting All Of Life’s Milestones
Photography
Our friendly team will guide you through the whole planning and booking process. You’ll be thrilled with what we can create for you.
Videography
Whether you need to share a message or tell your story, our creatives can help conceptualize, film, and beautifully craft your video.
In-Studio
Our 5000 sq ft studio in Bay View is equipped for a wide variety of session types and a great way to get the imagery you need.
On-Location
Need to capture a specific location? No problem, we’re experienced at creating beautiful imagery in any location. We’ll meet you there.
Documenting Your Growing Family
We see photographing your wedding as just the beginning. We’re here for every milestone along the way and are honored to create beautiful photos for your family.
Photographing weddings is where Front Room began in 1996. We love capturing love. And it’s been an honor to be trusted with telling that story.
We put our heart and souls into giving you the best experience and guiding you through the whole process. We are no longer booking weddings, but are excited to pass the torch to Lidia – contact us to get in touch!
Kind words
“Karen + I just spent the last 10 minutes looking through all of your photographs and we could not stop laughing / smiling at how cute all of the children and families were!! We absolutely loved every single last photograph in your set. Thank you so much for taking the time to volunteer. You obviously brought such joy to these families, you can just see it in the photos. Thank you for making our day!”
Allana M.
“Thank you for the beautiful pictures you took of our family! They are so much better than we could have even imagined, and we appreciate you taking the time to come to our house to take them. Thank you for continuing to capture our growing family!”
Meg & Mike K.
“Thank you so much for doing my photoshoot. I know you helped my parents by squeezing me in during wedding season. You really did a fantastic job capturing my cuteness! I’m sorry I pee’d on your stuff. From now on I promise to only do it on mom and dad.”

“Kevin and I just finished reviewing the images from our shoot...and we are so in love with them! Amanda, we cannot thank you enough for capturing our soon to be family of 3 in a winter wonderland. I love them all, but I especially am so in awe of how gorgeous the green dress looks with the gentle snow and little babbling stream in the background...you nailed it! Thank you for your inspiration and direction! The images are all so amazing and something we will treasure. As always you guys crushed it.”
Rebecca + Kevin G.
“I cannot begin to thank you enough for the Thursday session with Austin. You truly exceeded my expectations! I was so moved how warm and welcoming you were from the moment we arrived. It was perfect - and truly exactly what I was seeking for our family! He came home and was just so jazzed, confident, happy and feeling of being a ROCKSTAR! You could tell by his demeanor he felt good about himself. For that alone - I cannot thank you enough."

“Great place and great work. Super friendly staff, and they made my super difficult 2 year old look good in the pictures! Highly recommend.”
