Techstars ~ FounderCon
"I had the pleasure of working with Michaela and Tim at our company’s annual 3-day conference. We have struggled in the past capturing professional photos of our speakers, branding, and the overall vibe for our company events. … we finally have a huge inventory of high quality images to use for our social media, marketing assets, and future event promotion. They were able to deliver feature images at the end of each day, along with the entire inventory of photos and videos within a user-friendly platform in a timely manner. It made our lives so easy, the content was captured beautifully and we will be using their services again and again!"
