Since launching our company in 2022, we’ve made it our mission to capture the raw, real, and spectacular moments of your life. For us, photography is all about connection. We love meeting new people, hearing your unique stories, and making you feel right at home in front of our lenses.We also love when you include your pets! As you can see, we are massive animal people. We share our home with four huskies, seven cats, and a boatload of wildlife on our property. You should definitely come check it out sometime for a photo session!

"I contacted Athena & Michael to be the photographers of my daughter's wedding. She was very professional and communicated very well with me. She asked a lot of questions to make sure that she knew what my daughter and son-in-law wanted"
