Photography and Video Services for Waukee Small Businesses
If you run a small business in Waukee or the greater Des Moines metro, you already know how much your online presence matters. Customers are checking your website, your social media, and your Google listing before they ever walk through your door, and what they see there often decides whether they choose you or the business down the street.
That's where I come in. I'm Justin Gora, a Waukee based photographer and videographer, and I help local businesses grow with content that actually looks like it belongs to a real, professional brand.

The Problem With Phone Photos
Most small businesses start out relying on quick phone photos, and honestly, that makes sense in the early days. But as your business grows, that approach starts to hold you back. Blurry menu shots, inconsistent lighting, and shaky video clips don't reflect the quality of the work you're actually doing. If your content doesn't match your product or service, potential customers may not stick around long enough to find out how good you really are.
What I Offer
I provide professional photography and video content built specifically for small businesses, not big production budgets or corporate campaigns. That includes:
Photography for your website, social media, and marketing materials
Spotlight Videos, quick, focused clips under 60 seconds that keep your social feed active
Signature Videos, longer, story driven pieces perfect for events, recaps, or flagship marketing content
Monthly content plans for businesses that want a steady stream of fresh content, or one time sessions for a single project or event
Every plan is built around real photo and video counts, not vague promises, so you know exactly what you're getting.
Who I Work With
I work with a wide range of local businesses across the Des Moines metro, including:
Restaurants and cafes
Salons and fitness studios
Automotive shops
Real estate professionals
Local events

Whatever industry you're in, the goal is the same: content that helps your business get noticed and grow.
Recent Work: NLXF's Hyrox Sim Event
One recent project that shows this in action was a recap video I shot for NLXF, a fitness studio in Des Moines, covering their Hyrox Sim event. It's a great example of how event coverage can work for a local business: a high-energy recap that NLXF can use to promote future events and bring in new members for their classes. Whether it's a fitness event, a restaurant pop-up, or a grand opening, this kind of content gives local businesses something real to share long after the event itself is over.
Let's Work Together
If you're a small business owner in Waukee or the Des Moines area and you're ready for content that actually represents your brand, I'd love to help. Packages start at $500, and every project starts with a quick conversation about your goals.
