Alder + Co. & Wild Pines Coffee Co. | Branding Photography for Local Businesses That Feel Like Home
You know when a space just gets you? That’s the magic of Alder + Co. and Wild Pines Coffee Co., tucked right in the heart of downtown Raymond, Washington.
I recently stopped in to capture some updated branding photos for these two businesses, and honestly—it felt less like a session and more like a hangout with good friends in a space that feels like home. And that’s exactly what you want when you’re building a brand that people want to return to, time and time again.
A Shared Space That Brings Twice the Charm
These two businesses share a storefront, but each brings something totally unique to the table (or the counter, in this case).
Alder + Co., curated by Jeff, is a rotating gallery of cozy, intentional goods. Think small-batch ceramics from makers like @shoalwaterpottery, handmade jewelry, soft textiles, and even seasonal flower bouquets from @rhodesiaflower. The layout is always changing, always inspiring—and somehow better every time you walk through the door.
Then there’s Wild Pines Coffee Co., run by Kim and her team of caffeinated wizards. Whether you’re into oat milk lattes, flavored Red Bulls (seriously, every flavor), or a fresh-pressed juice, they’ve got you covered. And yes, they serve food too: breakfast burritos, hot sandwiches, soup, salad—everything made better with fresh bread from @willapabaking and pastries from @brasshubcoffee. It’s a whole local supporting local situation, and it works.
A Spring Refresh Through Branding Photography
This session was all about highlighting the warmth and personality behind the businesses—capturing the inviting atmosphere, the carefully chosen goods, the fresh flavors, and most importantly, the people who make it all happen. I focused on candid, lifestyle-style shots that feel as cozy as the space itself, giving them a full gallery of content they can use across Instagram, their website, and beyond.
For small businesses, a seasonal refresh like this can do wonders. It keeps your brand visuals current and reflective of your space as it evolves. And if you’re anything like Jeff—aka the king of cozy redesigns—you know your space doesn’t stay the same for long.
