✔️ You are ready to catapult or maintain your business image as an elevated, highly desired brand

With over 20 years of experience, we are proud to support the efforts of a wide variety of businesses from numerous industries including chefs, accessory designers, dentists, interior designers, construction companies, non-profit groups, creative entrepreneurs (fashion designers, makers, performers, writers, makeup artists, hair stylists, clothing stylists, etc.), and so much more.

We do NOT accept everyone as a commercial photography client - we limit participants. Why are we exclusive? Because we believe in giving you the best customer service. Contact us to request a customized quote for your project.

Brands + Products

The images you use to sell and market your brand and products have a major impact on your success. But not every business has the resources nor the staff to produce market-competitive images. At Shadowlands we take away the pain of producing branded photos. We are proud to handle product and content photography as well as image production for both local and national brands. After a consultation, we would be happy to provide a quote based on the requirements, time and labor necessary to complete your project.

Choose your brand style and get custom photos. Shadowlands Photography takes care of every step to simplify your workload and workflow: finding & hiring talent, legal compliance & contracts, props sourcing & placement, scheduling, creative briefing, photoshoot production, cropping/editing, quality assurance and cloud storage.

We help you create all the photos that your brand needs, without losing creative control. We are more affordable than any creative agency, we bring your creative vision to life, and we help you predict the future content needs of your brand.

Creative Entrepreneurs

Your dream is coming to life and now it’s time to share your baby with the world. It can be a daunting task when you’re handling everything from backend accounting to promotion. To attract more customers to your business, you need professional-quality photos to stand out in your niche market. Our decades of experience and professional-grade equipment will dramatically impact your image. A lot of time, equipment and labor goes into producing high-quality photos, and there is a direct ROI when you pay to hire a professional photographer to create the best final product possible for your photography needs. Yes, professional photography is more expensive than using your mobile phone but the production value is exponentially greater and your customers will find greater trust in you as a long-term brand instead of a novice start-up.
