Retainer, from$4,800

The Yearlong

Four shoot days across the year with priority scheduling and a running, consistently graded portfolio — for firms delivering more than one project a season.

Open a retainer

Every set ships with a written licence for portfolio, press, and marketing use across web and print. Travel beyond 40 miles of Chelmsford and additional interiors are quoted at the day rate — no per-image surcharges hiding in the invoice.

Your building is finished. The record shouldn’t wait for the scaffolding photos.

On what we actually photograph

We don’t shoot rooms. We shoot the hundred decisions a room is made of — where oak meets brass, where morning finds the stair — then hand it back, licensed and clean, ready for the folio.

The studio

One Camera, Two Patient Eyes

Since 2011

Working out of a corner room on Moore Street, film flat files and all.

Vandergroot began the way most trades do — with one person, one camera, and a stubborn preference for doing it properly. Fifteen years on, the process hasn’t changed much: scout the building, wait for its light, work the shot list room by room.

We shoot tethered and level, correct verticals in-frame rather than stretching them after, and grade every set by hand so a folio of forty images reads as one building — not forty guesses. The people who commission us tend to come back, which is the only endorsement a photographer really earns.

Based in Chelmsford, MA; on site across the Merrimack Valley and Greater Boston. No stylists you didn’t ask for, no drone unless the roof deserves one.
