Who are we?

Michael Kent // Brooke Allen

Based in Northern Michigan, we are a creative portrait team that has been shooting together for getting close to 15 years. We are married, have a 3 year old named Milo, and a beautiful old grumpy dog named Desi.

I am Michael Kent, I will be joining you in Costa Rica this year!

I have been on three different continents shooting with Megan on a wide range of projects since we first connected in early 2022.
Since then I have photographed both food & wine tours and Thrive retreats in Tuscany, France, Costa Rica, and Oregon. For Megan, my work is used to help create portraits that humanize the guests, and create visual a story for the marketing of these communities. I am so excited to be joining y'all again for this Thrive retreat, and honored to be able to offer our portrait services again in order to bring these same marketing materials to your brand.

I am honored to be coming along, and can not WAIT to meet you all. Check out the info below, and let us know if you have any questions for us.

“M+B: Once again, we are beyond overwhelmed, grateful, and excited for this very special gift you have given us. Peter and I have had such an amazing time reliving our wedding day through these photos. Feedback from family so far includes, "unbelievable talent and vision" "so so so SO beautiful" and "those sunset photos could be in a magazine" - we couldn't agree more 🙂”

“these pictures captured how we feel about each other, even though she’s in the midst of the sassy three year old stage, it’s amazing you were able to do that...I think it’s because she felt comfortable around you to open up, you captured in photo form how I feel about my first baby, and that’s incredible”

CrystalFamily Portraits

“These are AMAZING!!!! We love how you captured everyone’s emotions! Thank you so so much!! We were cracking up at some of the faces you caught. Incredible. These are everything we’ve ever hoped for. Thank you both! We just love you two! ❤️”

KendelleWedding
