Working with M3 Mitchell Media & Marketing was an absolute dream—and not just because the photos turned out that good. Seriously, I thought choosing my top 25 shots out of the 1500 photos Ceylon delivered would be a quick task. HA! Joke’s on me.

I spent hours agonizing over which ones to pick because they were ALL my favorites (I’m still recovering). From start to finish, Ceylon was incredibly easy to work with. He’s organized, proactive, and clearly a master of his craft. The entire shoot felt effortless, and he made sure every moment was captured beautifully.

During our session, his attention to detail and my comfort were paramount and I was really happy with the results. It was a huge pleasure to work with him and I'd recommend him with full encouragement!

Ceylon is a richly talented artist who did a phenomenal photo shoot for Equity In The Center’s team, making each of us feel seen and celebrated! He set up a mini studio at our meeting location and worked with everyone to select poses (inspired by sample portraits he shared) with which they were comfortable. The experience was fun and engaging even for those who don’t usually enjoy having their picture taken. Our portraits are fabulous and uniquely capture each team member’s personality!

Dr. Mitchell is an excellent photographer for career portraits, events, and vibrant fashion photography. Check out his portfolio!
