/ the difference, side by side

from bathroom-counter snap to shelf-ready frame.

Your formula is better than your photos say it is. Here’s the gap, and exactly how fast we close it.

before — the counter snap

flash glare, flat texture

  • Glare across the label, so shoppers can’t read your name.
  • Shadows swallow the texture you spent months perfecting.
  • One crop, one angle, one platform — then you start over.

after — a tamarack & twine frame

The same style of jar lit with a softbox, label crisp, silky shadow on seamless paper

label crisp, texture alive

  • Softbox key light keeps every word on your label legible at thumbnail size.
  • Close-ups that make people lean toward the screen.
  • Stills, plus 9:16 and 1:1 video cutdowns, from one shoot.

/ the house rule

your texture is the product. we just keep the light out of its way.

art director on your project, from first call to final file

Studio calls run weekdays 10am–7pm. Messages after hours get answered first thing.

/ how a remote shoot works

your studio visit is a shipping label.

You never need to drive to Baldwin. Pack it, point at it, and download it.

  1. pack the box

    Three units of each hero product plus one backup. Labels facing out, lids tight, and tuck in the props that live in your brand — a dropper, a sprig, a scrap of linen.

  2. jump on the call

    Pick a weekday slot between 10am and 7pm. You watch the shoot live, point at what you love, and we move the light while you’re still talking.

  3. catch the drop

    Proofs land in 5 business days. Mark what you want changed, we run your two revision rounds, then you download final JPG, PNG and MP4 files sized for your shop, your feed and your ads.

/ before you book

the questions that come up right before “yes.”

What happens to my samples after the shoot?

They come home. Used jars and bottles ship back for a $14 flat return fee, or we recycle them at no charge — you tell us on the booking form.

How does billing work?

One price per package. Half holds your slot, the balance is invoiced when your final files are ready. No hourly meter, no surprise line items beyond the add-ons you pick.

What if the first proofs miss the mark?

Every package includes two rounds of retouch and edit notes. A third round is $85. Send a mood board or hex codes up front and most projects settle in the first pass.

Can you match my brand’s colors and mood?

Yes. Send brand hex codes, a few references you love, and the surfaces you imagine your product on. We build the set around them and show you on the live call.
