Nothing up our sleeve.
Our mark is an aperture and a flower. Both work by opening, and so does the company. You get the price before we start and the plan in writing. Ask a question and get a straight answer.

The Straightforward Creative Company™
Photography, content, and websites for small businesses. Based in Springfield, Missouri. Know what you get and what it costs.
Good creative work should fit the job and the budget. We help you decide what you need, put a price on it, and make it.
How we work.
- 01
Tell us what you need
A sentence is fine. "We need photos of the new building" is enough to start.
- 02
We ask the questions early
Where it runs, who sees it, what it has to do. Cheaper to answer now than to reshoot later.
- 03
We agree on the work and price
We write down what you get, what it costs, and what happens next. We price any extra work before we start it.
- 04
We make it
We take the photos or build the site. We keep you updated as we work.
- 05
Then it's yours, or it keeps running
Some work is done once. Some runs every week. Either way, you know where it stands.

How is it so affordable?
How do you keep the price down?
We cut out the layers of middle managers. You work directly with the creatives doing the work. On larger projects, one account manager keeps everything on track. Fewer handoffs and less management overhead help us keep prices down.
What do I get for the price?
Each package covers a set amount of work. Before we start, we put what you get, the price, and the number of changes included in writing. See the rate card for current packages.
What costs extra?
Work outside the agreed plan costs extra. We explain the price before doing it. For websites, hosting, your web address, and any paid tools can add ongoing costs. Your quote will list the costs that apply.
What if my budget is smaller?
Tell us what you need and what you can spend. We can look at a smaller first step. If we can’t make the job work at that price, we’ll tell you.
Tell us what you need. We'll figure it out.
We’ll read your message and reply with questions or a plan and price.
