The Krafted Home
I selfishly want to keep Karlie and Jacob my secret key to my brand/portfolio style, but I can’t seem to stop recommending them to everyone that brings up needing a talented photographer and videographers because they are just so good! I started working with Karlie & Jacob about 8 years ago! Wow! I can’t even believe it’s been 8 years! That’s the biggest testament to my review is I have been using them for my studio’s Home Design portfolio from day one! They are truly so talented, professional, creative and beyond that, some of the most kind individuals I know! They have become a true, one stop shop, for all branding needs with not just photography and videography, but they help with ideas and concepts for shoots, branding and even social media ideas and tips!
