Iris Photography That Captures Your Unique Story

We specialize exclusively in precision iris photography, combining advanced imaging technology with an artistic eye to reveal every subtle detail that makes your eyes one of a kind.

Our process is built around your comfort and your schedule. No stiff poses, no long waits, and no stress — just a relaxed, guided session that lets you focus on the experience while we handle the technical details. Whether you’re coming as a couple, as a gift, or simply to celebrate yourself, we make sure every session feels effortless.

Every iris tells a story, and no two are alike. Using custom lighting, expert focus, and careful editing, we bring out the unique colors, textures, and patterns that make your eyes truly yours. The result isn’t just a close-up photo, it’s a personalized piece of art worthy of your home, your wall, or your favorite keepsake collection.

What Our Clients are Saying

For our anniversary, we wanted to do something truly meaningful, something that went beyond the usual dinner reservations or weekend getaway. When we discovered iris photography, it immediately stood out as an experience that felt personal and artistic all at once. From the moment we walked into the studio, Mike and his team made us feel completely at ease and genuinely excited to be there. They explained the process in a way that made us appreciate how special this kind of photography really is, and they treated our session like it mattered just as much to them as it did to us. Watching our eyes captured so vividly and then transformed into a piece of art was amazing. The level of detail and color is breathtaking, and the final image feels like a reflection of who we are as a couple, unique, colorful, and deeply connected. We chose to print it large for our living room, and every guest who sees it asks about the story behind it. It has become more than a photo, it is a meaningful keepsake that celebrates our relationship at this exact moment in time. We are so glad we chose this for our anniversary, because it feels like a gift we will treasure for many years to come.

Yes, we photograph children’s irises. It is hard for us to give a minimum age, but our experience suggests about 3 years. For a successful iris photo we need a few minutes of concentration and cooperation. You are probably the best person to judge whether this is possible with your child. Our tip: If the child shows interest and wants an iris photo for himself or herself, we can likely make it work.
