Photographer, web designer, and IT professional based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Founder of Loerop Photography and Loerop Creative Studio.
Mike Loerop has more than a decade of experience in photography, web design, and IT. Whether it is a wedding day, a website, or a server room, he works the same way. He looks closely at how something works, finds what could be better, and turns it into a system that is simpler, faster, and more reliable. It is a habit that started when he built his first computer from scratch in high school, and it runs through everything he does today.
The full storyMike has developed a multi-step approach to capturing the moments that matter most, paired with his own editing styles tailored to each part of the day. His philosophy is simple: be present, serve generously, and go the second mile.
He has worked on more than 600 websites across the United States, revamping their designs with a custom CSS framework he wrote himself. Today he designs websites for small businesses through Loerop Creative Studio.
As an IT professional, Mike single-handedly designed the process behind a phased, company-wide rollout of new equipment and led successful migrations to new server infrastructure. He automated repetitive tasks, saving his coworkers weeks of work every year, and holds CompTIA CySA+, Security+, Network+, and A+ certifications.
