Online, your photo is the product. A shopper can’t pick it up or turn it over, so the picture has to answer their questions for them. Hiilite Photography shoots products in our downtown Kelowna studio for Okanagan makers, boutiques, breweries and online stores.
Studio product photography on Water Street
Our studio is at 1690 Water St #110 in downtown Kelowna, with guaranteed parking, so bringing in a box of stock is easy. We shoot on white, black or pink backdrops under studio lights and strobes.
You’re with us for the shoot, and every frame comes up on a 4K monitor as it’s taken. Want the label turned, a tighter crop, or the bottle on black instead of white? Say so on the spot, before the files are edited. The coffee and tea are on us while you watch.
Ecommerce product photography
Store photos need to match. When every product sits on the same background, in the same light, at the same angle, your shop looks like one brand. When they don’t, it looks like a garage sale. We set up one consistent look for your whole range, so next season’s products can be shot to fit the same grid.
Tell us where the photos are going (your own store, a marketplace, wholesale catalogues) so we can plan the shots around it.
Creative shots for ads and launches
Clean catalogue shots sell the details. Creative shots get the scroll to stop. We also build styled set-ups for ads, social posts and launch pages. In the studio we’ve shot Rustic Reel’s beer cans (Hazy IPA, Amber Ale, Blonde and Sour) on a wooden background, a diamond bracelet for Rosebuds, and cookies splashing into milk. One shoot can cover both styles, so your store and your launch post use the same products in the same light.
What you get
Every product session includes 10 edited photos. You get them as full-size JPEG files for your store, social posts and print. Usage rights are unlimited, so you can use the photos on your site, on marketplaces and in ads. Your edited photos are delivered within 48 hours of the shoot.
If a shot isn’t right, we fix it
Not happy with an image? We’ll retouch it or reshoot it at no charge. If you still don’t love your product photos, we refund you.

How a product shoot runs
Say you run a small skincare brand in West Kelowna and you’re adding three new products to your online store next month. You bring the jars to the studio on a weekday morning and park without circling the block. We shoot each one on white for the product pages, then on black with a few styled shots for the launch post. You check the frames on the monitor as we go and swap one angle you don’t like. Two days later the edited files are in your inbox, and your product pages and launch post go out with one matching set.
Send us your product list and where the photos will live. We’ll send back a quote and a studio time.
