Grub Hub Lifestyle Photography

We had the opportunity in September to shoot for GrubHub, where we created a lifestyle image library to be used online and in print. We shot in a number of interesting locations to showcase the brand's versatility. From large corporate catering orders to individual meals from favorite local restaurants, GrubHub helps you find and order food from wherever you are.

We spent three days creating editorial style lifestyle images focused on candid, genuine, and aspirational moments. We spent time shooting downtown, in Wicker Park, Humboldt Park, and Lincoln Park and could not have asked for better weather for our outside scenes.

Kellogg School of Management

We had the opportunity to work with Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management to create new lifestyle imagery for their full-time MBA program view book.

We worked with over 50 current MBA students for three different scenarios over the course of the day. Working with so many students, we were able to capture a large variety of shots within each scenario. It was quite a windy, chilly day for our outside shot but we couldn't have been happier with the result. We also did some study group and in-session classroom shots.

KinderCare

This past summer, we had the opportunity to create eight custom images for the newly remodeled KinderCare Headquarters in Portland, Oregon. The assignment was to create images from a specific list of activities to be printed as wall-sized murals in their corporate offices.

Using a combination of both professional talent and real KinderCare members, it was clear that these kids had a great time even though the majority of them had just met. Throughout the day, we played so many fun games like Hopscotch, Follow the Leader, Peek-a-boo, and Red Rover (just to name a few). To keep the shoot as authentic as possible, we even shot at a local KinderCare in Schaumburg.  

Here are a handful of our favorites from the shoot.

#tbt Dad Time — Nick Grover

Nick Grover, head of licensing at Uniqlo, and his son, Mikio, were really fun to explore with. Mom, Surya, owns and runs Tosan Knows Best, a curated selection of goods for the raddest of dads.

We first met Nick, Mikio, and Surya at Muir Beach Overlook, part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. It was a beautiful, very windy drive through the mountains and along the shore. Showing off gorgeous views of Pacific oceanside cliffs, this is one breathtaking site. We even got to see a blue whale!

After, we headed to a great little spot for some roadside camping in their Westfalia van, had some snacks, and then took a hike down to a really neat tree swing that boasted ocean views on one side and mountains on the other. Mikio is full of energy and his genuine excitement for exploring cannot be ignored. And he's got quite the set of parents to continue nurturing and encouraging that desire.
