I'm Marcus
Hey, I’m Marcus! I fell in love with photography as a teenager and have been hooked on capturing life’s important moments ever since. I’m the lead shooter and editor at Schwab Creative, always learning new skills and techniques to create the best images and films for our clients. When I’m not behind the camera or at the editing desk, you’ll find me tinkering with gear, experimenting in the kitchen, snowboarding, or hanging out with our dog, Millie.

I'm Annika
I started my career as a graphic designer, but over time I transitioned into running the behind-the-scenes of Schwab Creative and picked up photography and videography along the way. While my design background definitely comes in handy for running a business, my true passion is making sure our clients have the best experience possible. Outside of work, I’m all about our dog, Millie, and chasing my rec volleyball dreams!
