Who We Are
About Focus and Frame NW
We're a small team with a big passion for the Pacific Northwest — and a belief that every frame should tell a story worth remembering.
Our Story
Born from a Love of the Pacific Northwest
Focus and Frame NW started with a simple idea: the Pacific Northwest is one of the most visually stunning places on earth, and it deserves to be captured with the care and craft it commands.
What began as a passion project — flying drones over the Cascades, photographing homes along Puget Sound — grew into a full-service aerial and real estate media company serving agents, homeowners, and communities across King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties.
Today, we bring that same love of place to every project we take on. Whether we're shooting a listing in Bellevue, staging a vacant condo in Redmond, or flying a search grid for a family that's lost their dog — we show up with the same level of care.
What We Stand For
More Than a Photography Company
Craft Over Speed
We take the time to get the shot right. Every image we deliver is one we're proud to put our name on.
Community First
We live and work in the Pacific Northwest. When our community needs us — for a lost pet, a safety mission, or a neighborhood project — we show up.
Safety Always
Every flight follows FAA regulations and our own strict safety protocols. We never cut corners when it comes to the safety of people, property, or airspace.
Honest Pricing
No hidden fees, no surprise invoices. We quote clearly and deliver on what we promise.
The Team
Small Team. Big Commitment.
