Episode 34 - Wichita Chamber Business Accelerator

It’s a simple story, where a desire to capture great photos of his children eventually led to Milt Mounts moving his photography from hobby to business. But as he shares with Don and Ebony, his Essential Images business did not necessarily go in the direction you would expect.

Committed. Passionate. Professional. 

These are Milt Mounts’ three favorite words as a photographer. It's always been his goal to provide the most professional service and the highest quality product to his clients. Every project is handled with in-depth communication and a thorough understanding of the desired results. Every venue he shoots is a unique piece of art, knowing that countless hours of time, energy and sweat was poured in by the team. His job is to showcase the work in a way that his clients will be proud to include in their portfolio. 

Based in Kansas, Milt has traveled the country as a photographer capturing architecture from coast to coast as well as overseas. He shoots with top of the line Canon equipment and has tackled small single room assignments up to multi-unit structures.
