Design and photography studio
One studio that builds brands and shoots them.
We build brands and the websites that carry them, then make the photos that sell them. Based in Chattanooga, working across the Southeast.
Some of what comes out of the studio.
Two crafts
Design and photography, side by side.
The brand and the photos come from the same studio, so they fit together without anyone having to make them match afterwards.
Design
Brand identity, product design, and the websites that carry them. Built for your business, not picked off a shelf.

How it works
-
We build it
Designed and coded for your business, not dropped into a template. One page or ten, depending on the plan.
-
We run it
Hosting, security, backups and updates are part of the plan. The site stays current instead of quietly going stale.
-
You stay in control
The site is yours. Business and Commerce include a self-serve CMS, so you can edit your own words and pictures whenever you want.
FAQ
Questions people ask.
These are the ones that come up most.
Do I own my site?
Yes. The site is yours, and so are your domain and the content in it. It is coded for your business rather than rented space on a platform someone else owns, so you are not tied to me to keep it running. If you ever want to take it elsewhere, it goes with you.
Can I edit it myself?
On Business and Commerce, yes. Both include a self-serve CMS, so you can change text, images and products yourself whenever you want, without booking time with me. Business also includes 3 change requests a month for the things you would rather hand off, and Commerce includes 4. Presence works the other way around: edits are managed, so you send the change to me and I make it, quoted per job.
Why monthly instead of paying once?
Because a website is not a thing you buy once and set down. It needs hosting, security, updates, and changes as the business changes. Paying once gets you a site that is right on launch day and then slowly goes stale, with every fix after that arriving as a new invoice. Over three years the two paths land at about the same number. The difference is that one of them still works at the end of it.
Is there a contract?
Yes, and it is short. The plan runs for twelve months, then continues month to month. That first year covers the build and gives the site time to settle in and start doing its job. After that you stay because it is working, not because you are stuck.
What if I cancel?
After the first twelve months you can stop at the end of any month. The site is yours, so it goes with you, and I will hand over what you need to run it somewhere else. What ends is my side of it: the hosting, the updates, the changes, and the support. If something is not working, I would rather you tell me and give me the chance to fix it, but I am not going to make leaving difficult.
Have something in mind?
Tell me what you are working on, whether it is a website, a brand, or a shoot, and I will get back to you within one business day.
