MR Ortwein's Photography

M.R. Ortwein's Photography is a husband-and-wife-owned business fueled by a shared passion for capturing life's precious moments. We believe that every photograph tells a story, and we strive to create timeless images that reflect the unique personalities and emotions of our subjects.

Our journey began with that special "rock" - a love story as unique as the photographs we strive to create. My husband, Matt, a man who always had a wanderlust spirit, found his way to me, eventually planting his roots. He had always loved photography, and he introduced me to the world behind the lens, forever changing my life and perspective.

Matt, with his formal training at a prestigious photography school in New York, brings a technical mastery to our craft. He has an eye for detail and composition, ensuring that every image is technically perfect. My background in art and a love for all things creative adds a unique artistic flair to our work. We both believe in continuous learning, attending online classes and seminars led by world-renowned photographers to stay at the forefront of the industry.

We operate as a small, intimate studio, where we genuinely care about our clients and their stories. We take pride in building personal connections and understanding your vision for your photographs. Whether you're celebrating a milestone event, commemorating a cherished moment, or simply want to capture your family's beauty, we're here to make your photographic dreams a reality.
