Who We Are

Two people, one vision.

Bradyn and MaKayla Shock

Bradyn & MaKayla Shock

Hi, we're Bradyn & MaKayla!

We've spent over a decade in the creative industry, Bradyn behind the camera in photo and film, and MaKayla in graphic design and photography. After years of working separately, we decided to bring our strengths together and build Exousia & Co.

We got married in Lake Como, Italy, a place that reminded us all over again why we fell in love with hospitality and travel. That trip became a big part of why this studio exists: we know what it feels like when a place is worth remembering, and we love helping more spaces create that feeling for others.

Every property gets both of our eyes on it. Bradyn behind the lens, and MaKayla in the details. Together, we create imagery that makes your space feel just as good online as it does in person.

The Name

Exousia is Greek for authority, the freedom and power to act.

We chose the name Exousia because we believe beautiful spaces have a story worth telling. Our work is about giving that story a visual presence, capturing the details, atmosphere, and feeling that make someone want to be there.

We create imagery that doesn't just show a space. It gives people a reason to experience it.
