we are engle olson
Two young souls, three cats, and a room full of camera equipment nestled in our cozy little home in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The quick version? We fell in love, fell out of our 9-5‘s, and decided to put all of our eggs in our own basket and created ENGLE // OLSON. Our aim was to create a company that spreads joy, and equality for all and is always focused on lifting up those we work with. We believe that life is for the living and not just for the working. This is us.
OH, HELLO!
Meet Gerick.
You'll never meet another soul like him. Gerick is a true original. He’s got a heart of gold, a quick wit, and so much empathy that he cries at every episode of Welcome to Wrexham. His love for cameras and shooting only matches his drive for personal growth. He's outgoing, caring, and cute, but I married the guy, so I might be biased.
A few fun Gerick facts:
he/him
When he grew he wanted to be either a stand up comic or a pro snowboarder - he likes to think he dabbles in both
went to Bozeman for a VIDEO degree, but graduated with a degree in snowboarding
the oldest of 3 boys - his mom is either a Saint or insane
MAKES ONE HELL OF A BREAKFAST.
HEY THERE!
MEET Jenny.
She is a real-life mix of Linda from Bob's Burgers + Ilana from Broad City, and she'll take that as a compliment. Happiest when recently fed, Jenny is a homebody who loves a good board game and has yet to find a craft ipa she doesn’t enjoy. Cheers!

Hey! This is our fur baby,
Vera.
We found this little nugget on the most random of whims. We were headed up north for a wedding and were spending the night at a friend's cabin the night before. Right before reaching the cabin, Gerick stopped on the side of the road to take a picture at an abandoned house in the middle of a cornfield...yeah he does that. Walking over to the house we spotted this little girl sunbathing in the window.
Despite my mom telling me not to take her with us because, honestly, what are you going to do with a cat you found while at a wedding, but we don't listen too well. It started raining and we immediately went back and rescued her. She emerged from the floorboards and ran to us and the rest is history.
a few fun vera facts:

Vera is an indoor / outdoor kitty in st. paul
