BOND is built around the bonds between people, at every stage — couples and engagements, the months before a wedding, a new pregnancy, a first baby, children growing faster than anyone warned. The moments along the way.

It carries an international pedigree. BOND is a refinement of the portrait experiences Joe Craig has designed and shipped to forty-nine countries — now brought home to the House of Soulmarks in Dexter, where you can sit for it in person.

What we photograph

Couples & engagements — the two of you, as you really are together.


Pre-wedding portraits — an unhurried session before the day itself (we don't photograph weddings).


Maternity — the quiet weight of waiting.


New babies & children — the people your family is becoming.

The people closest to us change without our noticing — a couple becomes a family, a baby becomes a child, and the way you were together this year is gone by the next. BOND exists to hold those bonds still, long enough to keep them. Not how everyone looked on the day, but what you were to each other.
