Michael

Laura

Former elementary school teacher who has perfected breaking down complex ideas to simple, understandable parts. 

Obsessed with finding the most efficient way to complete a task - to allow optimal time to binge watch on the couch.. 

Actually enjoys creating spreadsheets, organizing information, and reformatting our website. 

When I needed new branding headshots, I knew I had to call Michael & Laura! They guided me on a location for our shoot as well as placements and poses that fit my brand and aesthetics. Not only did I enjoy the shoot, but I kind of didn't want to stop hanging out with them!!! Michael & Laura are so kind and fun to be around that the shoot went quickly and was totally effortless. More so, I greatly appreciated the quick return of high-quality images which were exactly what I needed to re-fresh my brand. I've used them all over our website and social media and get so many compliments on them! I highly recommend working with Michael & Laura as brand photographers to capture the most important part of your business...YOU!!!

Michael & Laura are the absolute best.... These two are so calm and patient. Michael was so great with my oldest son, who thought he was just the coolest. Laura made me feel so comfortable and confident as a newly postpartum mama, and I can't thank her enough for that. The photos they took are absolutely priceless and the candid moments the were able to capture are the most special memories that I will cherish forever. Please hire these two - you won't regret it!

"These two are so calm and patient."
