Michael Woolheater Photography

Michael Woolheater Photography (previously known as Code:M Design) specializes in photography for families, events, couples, engagements, weddings, concerts, and commercial photography. Created in July 2017, I focus on creativity and exceptional customer service in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota and the surrounding communities.

Why You Should Choose Me

I started out in photography with a promise: to always see things from my client’s perspective. This led me to focus on three areas: Price, Delivery, and Look. Collectively, I call these the “new photography standards” – a modern and customer friendly way of doing photography. My pricing is transparent and fair for both clients AND business. I guarantee a turn-around-time of 72 hours and provide all edited photos via an electronic link. And I want every session to feel unique to the subject. These are the things that I wanted as a customer, and now things I promise to deliver to you. 

Vision

1. Provide exceptional quality & unique photos.
2. Offer the best turn-around-times in the industry.
3. Provide a professional & personalized relationship with all of my clients.
4. Support non-profits & my local community.

About Me

My name is Michael Woolheater and I am from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. My daughter, Tenley, was born in 2013 and my son, Talon, was born in 2015..

I carry 15+ years of professional experience in healthcare with me and use that experience to help my clients. I have experience as a Scientist, IT Systems Analyst, Oncology Clinic Manager, Laboratory Connectivity Services Supervisor, and most recently as a Project Manager in research.

I am the owner of a thriving, family-owned landscaping company, Concrete Contours. My father, Denny Woolheater, is a co-owner in this business and we both touch every project our business conducts.

Finally, I am the owner of Studio 1912, the best photography studio in South Dakota.

Photography

Photography has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. It started with a passion to photograph my family as it grew. That quickly became a desire to help others capture their special memories. My business and I quickly became one of the area’s premier concert, wedding, family, maternity, and events photographers.

Two of my favorite quotes and ones that I apply to everything I do in business are; “People don’t care what you know until they know that you care” and “All we have at the end of the day is how we have treated others”.
