Services & Investment



Ground Glass was built by a painter first. The chiaroscuro instincts that go into oil portraits on canvas — dramatic shadow, warm documentary light, honest expression — go into every photograph we make of people. We don’t want you to perform for the camera. We want to capture you.


Every session — headshots, family portraits, boudoir, or branding — is built around the same foundation: low retouching, real expressions, and the kind of light that makes a photograph feel like it was made, not taken.

Commercial

 

From Product and Food photography to branding videography services and events, Ground Glass Photography has you covered.


The warm, dimensional light that makes a portrait come alive does the same thing for a dish, a handmade candle, or a room full of people at an event. We don’t change our approach for commercial work — we bring the same deliberateness, the same editorial eye, the same instinct for the image that tells the story.


Every commercial package includes full commercial use licensing. Your images are cleared for menus, social media, Google listings, websites, and paid advertising — without restriction.

Pet portrait of a small golden dog outdoors — Ground Glass Photography, Kent Washington

 

Pet Photography

 

Ground Glass was built by a painter first. The same chiaroscuro instincts — dramatic shadow, warm documentary light, honest expression — that go into oil portraits on canvas go into every photograph we make of your pet.


We shoot outdoors, in the environments your pet loves: PNW trails, open fields, golden-hour parks, your own backyard. The result isn’t a product shot. It’s a portrait.
