Our Staff

Lynne Brown

Studio Director and Founder of P2

Lynne is the founder and CEO of Perspective2. Born in Ohio, raised in Mid-Michigan, Lynne’s photographic interest was sparked at an early age by her grandmother, Bertha Brown. Bertha not only shot photographs in the early 1900s with large bellows cameras, but developed the glass plates in her family’s outhouse in rural Illunois. Cameras were always in use in the Brown household. In her teens, Lynne used her father’s 35mm Pentax and became Haslett High School’s chief photographer and yearbook editor. She also freelanced for local newspapers and sports teams.

At the age of 18, Lynne began working at Linn Camera Shop in Lansing and continued her photographic interest by enrolling in Lansing Community College’s photo program. On completion of the program, Lynne took a management position in Flint at the Quarry Photo where she became a Certified Photographic Counselor and then took an opportunity to open and manage a store in Beverly Hills, California.

After six years of retail camera store management, Lynne returned to the Lansing area and completed her companion degree in graphic design at MSU and started Media Graphics, Inc., a successful graphic design and publishing company.

In the last decade digital technology has greatly changed how we take photographs and how many people have access to image making. Lynne wanted to open the doors of the digital studio photographic experience to others that love photography; the idea of Perspective2 was born. Perspective2 offers three large, unique studios where photography, photographers, equipment, ideas and people connect to create artistic energy and images.

Katie Koerner

Marketing and Outreach

The newest addition to our staff, Katie, is the face behind the marketing and social media development here at Perspective2. Katie takes her passion for writing to the next level by developing the content for our newsletters, weekly press releases, the P2 blog and the frequent, yet fun, social media updates on websites such as Facebook and Twitter. Originally from Haslett, Katie helps to promote Perspective2 in the ever-growing and creative community of Old Town, Lansing. She has more than four years of experience working in the media relations, journalism and social media fields and can be seen at special events interviewing guests, recording video and, of course, behind the computer updating our online friends on everything happening at P2! After graduating from Michigan State University’s School of Journalism last December, Katie has, without a doubt, hit the ground running at Perspective2. In her free time, Katie enjoys staying physically active, traveling and relaxing at local summer time music festivals. She is eager to meet everyone involved in the P2 family as well as introducing new friends to the very versatile “urban cool” space for special events and photography that is Perspective2.

Mason Robinson

Photography Specialist

Mason is currently a student in Michigan State University’s Studio Art program, specializing in Photography and Graphic Design. He is a native of Saranac, Michigan, and did not discover his love of photography until college when, on a
whim, he decided to take a photo class. Mason is Perspective2’s photography specialist and spends his days working with P2’s photographic members, developing
designs with sister company Media Graphics, Inc. for P2’s marketing, and assisting our special event guests. He is
highly knowledgeable and works diligently to make sure our members receive the most out of their time at P2. Taking any available opportunity to diversify his portfolio and skill set, Mason tries to expand his knowledge of photography and design by involving himself as much as possible. He currently works as a photojournalist for MSU’s Red Cedar Log. In his free time, Mason enjoys experiencing new food—be it his own creation or that of others, painting with mixed mediums, leisurely bicycle rides, and exploring new places through the lens of his camera.
