We’re a team of photographers / filmmakers, & multi-passionate creatives, based in Portland, Oregon.

Meet Nick & Chelsea, co-founders

We were each drawn to visual media separately:
Chelsea’s long-time deep love for artistic portraiture, travel/documentary photography, and the people that create meaning, change, and magic in the world. And, Nick’s lifelong love of the art of film, his eye and vision for cinematography, and talent for aerial videography.

About Velvet Morning Creative

We started Velvet Morning Creative, our visual production studio, to merge our love for creating photos & films, travel, supporting visionaries and other entrepreneurs, and telling stories that make a difference.

Our shared passion is in connection with others, and a love of working with cameras, color, and light. We believe in creating a world that’s a kinder place for all.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

The word "Creativity" with the C in a swirly fancier font.

Creativity is at the heart of everything we do, shaping our work with intention, artistry, and authenticity.

The word "Community" with the C in a swirly fancier font.

The best work is created together. We deeply value collaboration with others and building relationships with our fellow creatives, clients, and community.

The word "Connection" with the C in a swirly fancier font.

Stories have the power to bridge gaps, spark emotion, and make people feel seen. Our goal is to craft narratives that resonate, creating meaningful connections.
