Real Estate Photography
Real estate photography and video turn properties into irresistible showcases. With crisp, well-lit photos and smooth, cinematic videos, I highlight every angle, feature, and feeling a space has to offer. From cozy condos to sprawling estates, I don’t just document — I sell the lifestyle. It’s your listing’s first impression, and I will make it unforgettable.
Family Photography
Family photography, to me, is about capturing connection — the laughter, the chaos, the quiet moments in between. I aim to freeze those real, unscripted interactions that tell your family's story just as it is right now. No stiff poses, just honest, beautiful moments you’ll want to hold onto long after the kids have grown.
Music Photography
Music photography freezes the soul of the sound in a single frame. Whether it’s the sweat of a live show, the quiet intensity of a studio session, or the vibe of a promo shoot, it’s all about capturing the emotion, energy, and identity of the artist. Bold, raw, and iconic — these aren’t just photos, they’re your sound, visualized.
Studio Photography
Studio photography is where creativity meets total control. With pro lighting, seamless backdrops, and zero weather worries, I craft clean, eye-catching images that highlight your personality, product, or brand. From bold portraits to sleek commercial shots, the studio is a blank canvas where your vision takes center stage — polished, powerful, and perfectly lit every single time.

Smiles and Stories from
Our Clients
Craig is a talented photographer who has taken pictures of my family and provided some great suggestions. My favorite is of my 5 year old granddaughter , all dressed up, sitting in a big chair with her bare feet front and center!! He has helped me with a video of my sister’s art show. Last but not least he helped me self publish a book my daughter wrote. . It was a daunting challenged but his digitized versions of the artwork were very good. He is a pleasure to know and work!
Nelda Van Schoick
I have been working with Craig Gum photography since 2012. This very versatile photographer has helped me find and express parts of myself I couldn't have accessed any other way. I have done one on one shoots. Our family has done a variety of shoots. Always very professional and accommodating to all. I recommend Craig to anyone looking for a photographer. He does amazing things behind a camera!

Craig Gum Photography provided exceptional videography and photography services for us “on the spot” as well as post-production work that was second-to-none!
Craig and his team were very instrumental in bridging the gap between where we were and completing the project.
They did so with a kind, professional, helpful, and resourceful approached like we have never seen before.
Our company was very impressed with that level of service and we were proud to have them on our team.
I highly recommend them 100%!
