Welcome to David Grove Photography
capturing fleeting moments
with lasting impact
Stories for all.
01
Families
I slow it down for families. I don't offer high-stress, high-stakes, 1-hour photo sessions. Genuine, authentic images maintain a strong connection to the past. Longer documentary sessions achieve that. I aim capture all of life's beautiful hidden moments. My longer-form sessions let the family relax, get comfortable with the project, and capture amazing moments. Family documentary sessions range from 3-hours to 12 months.
Pricing starts at $450 for 3-hours, and $7,500 for 12 month projects.

Small Business Content
I have been working with small businesses and non-profits since 2004. First as an employee, and since 2022 as a freelance photographer. Thriving small businesses are essential to a healthy community. I know the importance of connecting to your customer base. There is no better way to connect than with authentic, high-quality, consistent visuals. I have provided imagery to a wide variety of small businesses and non-profits through my documentary storytelling approach.

how we do things here
Hi! I'm David Grove... the one behind the camera. Professionally, I am a documentary and editorial photographer - however I prefer to think of myself as a friend with a camera who can help you capture some awesome moments. A visual storyteller with an ability to make an impact. I serve families and businesses in the pacific northwest who want one common thing - real images.
We live in a culture where #authentic and #genuine have become associated with a "vibe" and a predictable aesthetic. That's not me. I can send you to plenty of people on instagram that can give that to you. I deliver something deeper. Something that only relationship and time will reveal. I deliver your true story. The hidden connections. Your family values, your core mission.
I love capturing the raw emotion of others interacting with their environment. My greatest desire and success as a photographer is to deliver images that impact you at your core. From our initial conversation to the delivery of images, my purpose is to bring your story to the world. Keeping your vision centered in everything we do, we will work together to reveal your true, authentic story that will stand the test of time.
