Corner Table Studio
Visual marketing for independent restaurants & shops

Make your place look as good online as it does in person.

I look at what customers see before they visit, fix what's holding you back, and shoot real photos of your food, shelves and room to put on Google, Instagram, your website and your online shop.

Who I work with

Good businesses that look worse online than they are.

Most of the places I talk to don't need a marketing agency. They need someone to look at what customers see, tell them plainly what to fix, and then fix it.

"Our Google photos are mostly customer snapshots."

Your listing is often the first thing people see. Dark phone photos and a menu shot from years ago undersell the place.

Usually starts with: Google Profile Refresh
"Our Instagram went quiet."

Nobody has time to make content between rushes. A bank of good photos and clips makes posting easy again.

Usually starts with: Launch Kit
"We want to sell online, but it feels like a lot."

Payments, shipping rates and product listings, set up once and done right, with photos that make people buy.

Usually starts with: Online Shop Setup

Food, shelves and rooms, the way they feel in person.

Before & after

Your Google listing is your front door.

It's often the first thing people see before they decide where to eat or shop. A phone snapshot from years ago does you no favors there.

  • New cover, interior, exterior and menu photos
  • Images sized and named for each place they appear
  • The same look across Google, Instagram and your site

Advice first. A quote second.

Before I suggest anything, I look at your business the way a customer does: your Google listing, Instagram, website and online shop. Then we sit down for 20 minutes and I tell you what I'd fix first and why.

Sometimes the answer is a small fix you can do yourself. I'll tell you that too.

Process

A clear plan, built around your slow hours.

  1. Walk-through

    A free 20-minute visit. I bring notes on your listing, social and site, and we talk through what matters most.

  2. Plan

    A short written plan: what to shoot, where each photo goes, what it costs and when. No surprises later.

  3. Shoot day

    Scheduled before open, between rushes or on a weekend morning. You plate it, I handle the rest.

  4. Deliver in person

    I walk you through the gallery and your refreshed Google listing, before and after, and everything goes live.

  5. 30-day check-in

    We look at your Google views, calls and direction requests together and decide what's worth doing next.

About

Hi, I'm Erik.

I live in Morrison and eat, drink and shop around here. A lot of the places I love look worse online than they do in person.

Dark phone photos, an old menu shot, a Google listing nobody has touched in years. I fix that with real photos of the real place, taken on site, then help put them where customers actually look.

I start with photography because it's what customers notice first. From there I help with the rest of how you show up online: your listing, your social accounts, your website and your shop, one sensible step at a time.
