Brenden Almand, Founder

Brenden has always been obsessed with print work. In the 1990’s, he worked with film in the darkroom and saw his photos come to life through chemicals. He also helped small business owners create business cards and flyers with PageMaker. 

Now in the modern digital era, Brenden is able to combine his passion for photography with his Design and Layout skills. Through his Photography Meetup Group, he shares his knowledge of powerful media creation with others.

Lauren Smith, Co-Founder

At an early age, Lauren developed a love of photography documenting family events and mini fashion sessions. When she was outdoors, taking pictures was her favorite hobby, especially mushrooms. To this day, she continues to capture meaningful moments for others to cherish for a lifetime. In addition to her love of food and fashion photography, she also enjoys repurposed and abstract art. She still spends as much time as possible in the woods hunting mushrooms.
