Nice to Meet you! We’re KLiK.
We are photographers and videographers that create story-based images, tailored to your messaging and target audience.
About Team KLiK
KLiK is a small commercial photography and videography team with a diverse range of skills. We’ve been making photos professionally for over 13 years and have backgrounds in art, photojournalism, architecture, theatre, and marketing. This has given us a breadth of knowledge to draw from and a holistic approach to image creation.
We provide a comprehensive photography experience - from art direction, to translation of messaging into visuals, pose coaching, staging and set design - we offer everything needed to ensure our client’s look their best and our images clearly communicate.
KLiK works with companies across a broad range of industries and disciplines, and have specialized knowledge of the AEC, design, and related industries.
KLiK brings professionalism, positive energy and laughter to every shoot. And while our goal is to create compelling images to strengthen brands, the best part of our job is developing a meaningful, collaborative and lasting relationship with our clients.
KLiK draws on our backgrounds in design, architecture, theatre, and marketing to inform our visual storytelling process.
Our Philosophy
When you share the stories behind your company’s products and services, your audience is more likely to connect. Photography is an essential component to storytelling because it illustrates the people, places, and activities that your stories are based around. Our mission is to elevate your brand and help it grow with imagery that engages your audience.
Our KLiK Team is made up of true creatives who deeply enjoy the artistic process, from concept to delivery.
Erin Riddle
Owner, creative director, photographer, video producer - Erin wears many hats that all revolve around visual storytelling. She has a deep love for the art of communication, a natural sense of curiosity, and a passion for photography. She helps businesses grow by translating their messaging into compelling photos and videos.
Creating meaningful and lasting relationships is an integral part of Erin’s work as a storyteller. She has exceptional collaborative and interpersonal skills that result in trusted relationships with clients, peers, and her team. Her love of people and photography is the lifeblood of KLiK.
Through KLiK, Erin has collaborated with clients across a range of industries and has a unique ability to depict AEC stories given her own design background. Before founding her company, Erin received a Master’s Degree in Landscape Architecture, and worked as both an urban designer and land use & permit coordinator in Portland, OR. Her work was primarily centered around transit- and master- planning, with marketing efforts that included proposal writing, document layout and web design. The many successes (and failures) of storytelling through the years established her view that photos and video are an essential tool in communication when done right.
Erin’s friendly, people-loving demeanor helps folks from all personality types to feel at ease in front of her camera. She has a knack for creating an authentically warm and welcoming environment for everyone she meets. Most of her clients start off saying “I hate being photographed” and end up saying “wow, that was great!” She approaches every project with positive energy and a keen desire to create headshots and storytelling images that her clients will love.
KLiK Concepts is a COBID-certified, woman-owned company based in Portland, OR
