Now offering Senior portraits

Senior photos are a great way to capture a pivotal time in your life. It's time to pick your favorite place and plan the perfect outfit... and don't forget the professional photographer! The Monte photographers take photos in Houghton and Hancock, Michigan (and beyond!) with the latest and greatest Canon camera gear.

We will never hold your photos hostage or force you to order prints through us. We give you all your photos (minus the "blink" photos) and full printing rights. Print them where you want, as many as you want. For a limited time, Senior photos are just $150 for a one hour session and unlimited outfits and locations (as time allows).

Professional photography instantly boosts your brand.

You've heard the phrase 'perception is reality' but what does that mean in terms of your business? If someone visits your website, are they going to see photos that 'wow' them? Do the photos tell your story? Does your photography match the quality of the products or services you provide?

If the answer is 'no,' then your photos are hurting your brand—the publics' perception of your business. Want an honest (and free) assessment of your photos?

On-site Michigan Photography

On-site photography is not for the weak of heart. The lighting is often poor. The background not perfect. But a good photographer (cough *Matt*) can assess the location, create a strategy, and shoot the best angles. We have taken photos in a wide variety of settings, from a pristine dental office to a flaming heat treat facility.

Industrial Photography

Photographer Matt from MONTE will travel to almost any Michigan location. We’ve been known to risk frostbite (across the Upper Peninsula) getting photos of snowmobiles on the trails and have come back covered in mud after getting close-ups of our client’s products as they bounce through dusty and muddy test courses. 

Professional Photography

The Michigan photographers at MONTE strive to tell your story through captivating photos. We work with you to get the perfect shot, whether you need photos of your fresh baked bread being pulled from the oven or want to highlight the work of your graduate students.

Food Photography

Food photography is much harder than you can imagine.

Think about the juicy cheeseburgers peppering billboards on the interstate—delicious, right? Wrong. Those burgers likely weren't even edible (unless you like your sesame seeds with a side of glue). While we aren't going to hand-glue any seeds to a bun, we will use our years of experience to find the best angle and light for your dish. We prefer to shoot food photography at your Michigan location, so your customers get a taste of the environment. Whether you bring the heat or do your best work on the grill, you can count on our food photography to tantilize the eyes.

Is your office too small for photos? Your warehouse too cluttered?

We understand that on-location photo shoots are not always feasible and have our own studio set-up in our Houghton, Michigan office. Matt can help you decide the best lighting and background for your specific product photos. And if you’re looking for professional headshots, we are happy to take those as well!

Photo Freedom

We never hold photos hostage.

Unlike many other Michigan photographers, we give you all of the rights to your photos—AND the full resolution photo files. Many photographers require you to order prints through them and charge individually for each digital photo file. When you hire MONTE, you have the freedom to choose the printer of your choice—no strings attached!
