Our approach
Photo & video
Sproutbox is a Portland-based photo and video production agency. We have a fully equipped studio in Portland, and we bring our crew on location for businesses that need content shot in their environment. Every asset we create is designed to perform, whether it ends up on your website, in your social feeds, or in a paid ad.
Most businesses underestimate how much their visual content says about them before a single word gets read. We've seen brands make zero changes to their offer or ad targeting and double engagement simply by replacing phone photos with professional content built for each platform. A health and wellness brand we work with saw Instagram reach climb 84% in the months after their first production shoot with us, with no changes to posting schedule or spend.
Our Process
How we get photo & video results.
Production without a plan is expensive improvisation. We start with a creative brief that outlines the goal, the audience, the platform, and the visual direction. Shot list, reference material, brand asset review, all before anyone shows up on set. The time invested here pays off in a shoot that runs on time and content that looks intentional.
On shoot day, we handle everything. Equipment, crew, lighting, direction, and talent coordination when needed. You don't need to know what a 3-point lighting setup is. We handle the technical side so you can focus on being present and making sure the content reflects your brand.
Editing is where the story comes together. We color-grade every frame, cut to the pacing the platform demands, add music where it helps, and refine until the final cut matches your brand. Two rounds of revisions included. We're not done until it's right.
Final files in every format you need: social-ready cuts, a broadcast master, a web version, individual clips for ads. We walk you through what you have, how to use each asset, and where each format performs best. If you're running content as paid ads, we can help size and optimize for each placement.
Our Team
Meet your photo & video team.
Your customers can tell the difference between real content and stock photography, even if they can't say why. Original content builds trust in a way stock photos don't. It also performs measurably better across every channel it touches.
Our production team is based in Portland but we travel. We've shot in warehouses, restaurants, construction sites, and on mountainsides. Small efficient crew for quick social content or a full team for a flagship brand video. The deliverables are always built for where they're going.
Every project is a collaboration. We bring a strong creative point of view and we listen to yours. If we think we can do something better than what's on the brief, we'll say so. If you have a specific vision, we'll execute it with everything we have. Clients who've worked with us before know we come prepared, stay communicative on shoot day, and don't deliver a surprise in post. What you saw in the brief is what you get, usually better.
Why Sproutbox
What sets us apart.
Big shops hand your project to whoever's available. Here, you get a Portland-based crew that remembers your last shoot, understands where your brand is headed, and gives you straight answers about what your content needs next.
Your brand is unique. Your content should be too. We create original work that showcases your actual business, not generic footage that looks like everything else.
Technically perfect shots that don't tell your story? Useless. We prioritize narrative. Every frame serves your message.
A video shot for TV doesn't work on TikTok. We create content that's sized, paced, and designed for where your audience actually sees it.
Every photo and video we create works across your website, socials, ads, and email. It all works together.
The entire Sproutbox team has done an outstanding job helping Plaid Pantry better focus and improve your brand image. I highly recommend any company and especially any Portland company to reach out to them!

Do you have a studio?
Yes. We have a fully equipped production studio in Portland with professional lighting, backdrops, and gear. We also do location shoots for businesses that need content captured on-site at their space.
What kinds of video do you produce?
Brand videos, social content (Reels, TikToks, YouTube), product videos, testimonials, event coverage, and ad creative. We match the format to where the content is going to live and what it needs to do.
Do you do photography too?
Yes. Product photography, headshots, team photos, and lifestyle shoots. Same team, same studio. Doing photo and video together on the same day usually saves money and keeps the visual language consistent.
How long does a video project take?
Most projects are turned around in 2–4 weeks from shoot to final delivery, depending on complexity. We give you a clear timeline before we start and do not disappear into post-production without check-ins.
Who owns the footage?
You do. All raw footage and final cuts are yours. We do not charge licensing fees or retain rights to anything we produce for you.
What is your typical pricing for a brand video?
Brand videos start around $3,000–$5,000 for a single-day shoot with editing. Larger productions with scripting, multiple locations, or animation are scoped individually. We give you a detailed quote before anything is booked.
How many rounds of revisions are included?
Two rounds of revisions are included for video projects. Most projects are done in one. We do a detailed creative brief before the shoot so we are aligned on direction before the camera rolls.
Do you travel outside Portland for shoots?
Yes. We travel for the right project. Travel costs are scoped into the estimate upfront. We work across the Pacific Northwest regularly and can go wherever the project calls for.
Can you produce drone footage?
Yes. We have FAA-certified drone operators on staff. Aerial footage is available as an add-on for brand, real estate, event, and outdoor projects.
What do you need from us before a shoot?
A solid creative brief, confirmed location access, and a clear shot list. We handle the brief and shot list — we just need your input on goals, audience, and any brand guidelines. The more context we have upfront, the better the shoot.
