About.

Hi, I’m Michael Kartes. I’m a photographer living near Seattle with my lovely wife Danielle and our two sons, Noah and Milo. Danielle and I run a boutique food photography and lifestyle company called Rustic Joyful Food, a company dedicated to the notion that that life is good today, truly, no matter what. I enjoy coffee, bookstores, old cameras, and older movies. Thanks for looking around!

I’d love to work with you! If you have a photo project you’d like to collaborate on, I want to hear about it…
