Photography, Copywriting, & Content Creation
“A crude makeshift bed”
“Sense of taste, appreciation of flavor and aroma”
“A range of colors used by an artist”
palet (pa·luht) is a photography, video, and copywriting ecosystem
built on these three tenets:
❋ Creative Collaboration
Whether you need someone to capture an event, your artistic practice, or your product, palet offers photography, video, or copywriting scaled to any scope or vision.
palet collaborations can look like a simple day-shoot, or larger-scale productions that include hiring talent, location scouting, and styling.
❋ Arts-Focused &
non-profit friendly
From artist and non-profit profiles to studio showcases and live shows, portraiture and the performing arts is where palet shines.
Sliding scale rates are available for non-profits, artists, and marginalized communities.
❋ Less Is (Mostly)

The photography industry can be expensive. We keep things trim, and rates low, by reusing gear, thinking creatively when it comes to props and locations. Be sure to check our barter list to see if your organization or brand is something we’re looking to trade right now.
we should all be able to access quality photography and marketing without breaking the bank.

A Passion For the Arts, A mission to Amplify
❋ We’re so over the starving artist stereotype. There is enough money in our economy to feed our selves and our souls. We believe that the arts elevate everyone.
From literature to music, dance to fine arts, the pursuit of creative practice needs to be protected. Does photography and marketing feel inaccessible to you? If you’re an artist, small business owner, or non-profit, you are essential to us: please contact us to discuss sliding scale rates or pay-what-you-can portrait sessions.
Are you a business that can afford the standard rate (or even round up)? We’ll happily use extra income to book shoots for others that might not be able to afford it.

Encapsulate a seamless approach to your marketing by asking palet to bundle in content needs such as short form video, portraits, and or social media content.
❋ Bundles operate on a retainer model which not only saves you money, but gives you priority booking dates.
Client Reviews
“It was such a pleasure to have Coco taking photos for Lift All Boats. She's flexible, prompt, fun to work with, and up for anything on land or at sea. Her photos are beautiful and have been incredibly useful, from social content, to recruiting flyers, to fundraising decks, and even printed in large format and framed on the walls of Luke's Lobster restaurants. Most importantly, our students love having Coco's pictures for themselves and their families.”
— Ben Conniff, Owner, Luke’s Lobster + Lift All Boats
“Coco worked with our team to craft and edit our Portland Neighborhood sections and we couldn't be happier! Her intimate knowledge of our city and fun/lively writing style are both informative and engaging. As someone that has lived in Portland for 30+ years I loved the insider tips and finished each section with a renewed curiosity and appreciation of this great little city. Coco was on time, easy to work with and right on the money. I LOVED the experience and look forward to future collaboration.”
— Tom Landry, Broker/Owner, Benchmark Real Estate
“I don’t know what alchemical energies Coco is able to conjure, how her eye so effortlessly pierces through the outer surfaces of the world to their animating spirit, or where she finds the talent to make her camera sing. But I do know this: the images Coco produced of Hewnoaks Artist Residency are the best ever taken of the place. To say Coco is a gifted photographer would be a comic understatement. Her photography doesn’t just capture moments—it elevates them into something as durable and evocative as poetry."
— Marc Mewshaw, Former Executive Director Hewnoaks Artist Residency
