Who We Are

A collective, not a contractor.

Jacobs & 5th isn't a solo freelancer with a camera. We're a fully staffed creative collective — a team of photographers, videographers, editors, and strategists who show up together, think together, and build content that actually works.

When you work with us, you're not managing a vendor. You're gaining a creative partner who understands your mission, your audience, and what it takes to make people feel something — and do something.

We're rooted in community, driven by culture, and built for brands and causes that want their story told right the first time.


Our model exists to democratize high-end creative — giving small businesses, nonprofits, and community organizations access to the same production quality that used to be reserved for brands with deep pockets.

What We Do

Photography
Brand shoots, campaigns, and community events — shot with care, clarity, and creativity.

Video Production
Short-form video, interviews, training, and social clips that turn your message into something people remember.

Content Strategy

Monthly content plans, repurposing, and distribution guidance. We keep your brand consistent, relevant, and moving forward.

Inclusive Wedding Coverage
Weddings that reflect you. Culturally rooted, LGBTQ+ affirming, intimate or loud — we’ve got you covered.

Studio Portraits
Headshots, creative portraits, and artist features — captured in-studio with lighting, direction, and good energy.

Nonprofit & Cause Media

Mission-driven storytelling that connects donors, communities, and audiences to the work that matters most.

Podcast Hosting

In-studio podcast production — shoot, edit, and distribute. No studio fees. No stress.

Studio power. Without the studio price.

Studio power. Without the studio price. *

As partners with Headspace Studios, every Jacobs & 5th project has access to a fully equipped, professional creative studio — at no extra rental cost to you.

That means higher production value, more creative possibilities, and content that actually looks like it cost twice as much. This is what democratizing creative actually looks like in practice.

  • Professional lighting rigs & cyclorama walls

  • Proper staging for product, portrait & video

  • No cramped offices or makeshift settings

  • Fully staffed shoots — not a one-person show

  • Included with every project, not billed separately
