Meet your photographer

Say hi to John.

DK Creative's photographer and graphic designer.

John has worked in the graphic design industry for over 10 years. Photography is the other half of his craft: he shoots brands, families and events with the same eye for detail he brings to design.

Danielle styles the scene and John captures it, then designs the graphics to match. They usually work events as a pair, so your decor, photos and design come from one team that already knows the plan.

FAQ

Questions,
answered

What kind of photography does DK Creative offer?

DK Creative offers branding photoshoots, product photography, small business promotional shoots and short-form Reels content for businesses in Albany and the Capital Region. Every shoot is planned around where the photos will be used, so you get images sized and styled for your website, social media and print.

What should I bring to a branding photoshoot?

Bring two or three outfits in your brand colors, the products or tools you use every day, and anything that makes your space feel like yours. We plan the shot list together beforehand, so you'll know exactly what to have ready and where each photo will be used.

Can you shoot photos and handle my social media too?

Yes. Many Capital Region clients pair a photoshoot with social media management, so the new photos go straight into a planned posting calendar. One shoot can fill several weeks of feed posts, Stories and Reels, and every image stays consistent with your brand.

How much does a branding photoshoot cost?

Every shoot is quoted to the project, based on how long it runs, how many locations it covers and how many final images or Reels you need. Share your goals, date and budget in the project form and Danielle will reply with options that fit.
