Both Michael and Gypsy are a pleasure to work with! Very professional and efficient. Our company got corporate pictures done and product photography done as well. They have exceeded what we wanted or expected. We will continue to work with them ongoing for our photography needs!!
You will be pleased with the end result! I’m extremely picky, so if I can be pleased, rest assured that you will be also.”

I can't say enough great things about working with Carpe Noctem Studios. The experience was absolutely wonderful. It was super comfortable, fun, and the outcome of the photos was incredible.
They gave my website and marketing pieces the exact warm, inviting, and professional look that I needed. Mike and Gypsy are absolute professionals.
Their work is like no one else I've seen. You won't regret working with them for your photos. Don't hesitate and book them today. You will be so thankful you did!"

Carpe Noctem Studios is our preferred photography team for several reasons. I feel like I see so many photography studios that have a dated look, or everyone's photos look the same, or the hair and makeup is bad. Or the way they retouch your skin looks bad or it looks as if they didn't retouch you or the photo at all. This studio's attention to detail is on point.
They're an all-inclusive studio, which means they do your makeup and hair (and they're really good), so you don't need to stress about going to a salon and booking separate appointments, or that you will look bad in the photos. They also do fashion styling (models/actors/personal branding) and set styling(boudoir).
When I go to the effort and expense of having photos taken, this is the place I go, and this is the place I recommend to all of our brides. They do all of our styled shoots as well."

This team is truly phenomenal. I especially loved their genuine and organic creative process in engaging my thoughts and comfort level in every aspect of the shoot.
As a model, it is key to have images that will book work. My agents have loved my images by Mykill and Gypsy. This team is the cream of the crop. I would highly recommend them.”

I’m new to the world of modeling, but Michael and Gypsy’s experience made me feel extremely comfortable right from the start. They coached me through poses with plenty of patience, explained how to find the light that works best for me, and helped me become more comfortable with bringing concepts to life.I didn’t just come away with fantastic photos for my portfolio…I came out a better model, because they know their stuff!
In total I have shot 4 times with this team now, twice for headshots and twice for editorial sets, because I enjoy their fun atmosphere mixed with their quality of work. This team compliments each other so well! Michael moves efficiently and knows the technical aspect very well while Gypsy knows exactly what look she is creating and how to piece it together.
They work in a very professional atmosphere, but not to the point of feeling “stuffy”. It’s a light, fun, and creative atmosphere among passionate artists and they foster ideas like I haven't experienced before. Hands down worth every penny!"

Michael made me feel so comfortable and confident. He is a creative soul who really puts so much time and effort into his art. Gypsy is so much fun to work with and her talent is undeniable!
Honestly the best people to shoot with ever on Earth, so go schedule your shoots!!! You will NOT be disappointed!"

Working with Michael and Gypsy was an absolute pleasure. Not only was the experience fabulously enjoyable, the resulting photos were astonishing in their quality. Gypsy is incredibly talented in several ways specifically, her make-up and clothes styling was out of this world.
I was so excited to be photographed by Michael in the style she created for me. They were kind and instructive throughout the entire shoot. I felt comfortable in their laid back atmosphere and I look forward to future shoots with them. I highly recommend this studio for high quality photographs."

Jaw dropping was my reaction when I first saw the pictures I received from Carpe Noctem Studios. Mike was an amazing photographer with a perfect combination of his talented makeup artist, Gypsy, they made me want to be the girl in those pictures every single day of my life.
They are so professional and know how to get you pretty comfortable to get the best shots out of you. I highly recommend them if you would love to have marvelous pictures for any occasions."
