Testimonials
Mike was absolutely fantastic! As a true professional he was incredibly accommodating when I needed a last-minute headshot. My previous photo was a total bust, but his expertise with lighting and ability to put me made all the difference. I was thrilled with the final results and had countless high-quality images to choose from. Highly recommend!
I had the pleasure of working with Mike for my headshots, and I couldn't be happier about the experience! Mike is incredibly talented and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. He was professional, easy to communicate with, and quick to respond to scheduling inquiries. The final headshots turned out amazing, and I appreciate how efficient the entire process was. Highly recommend working with Mike for anyone in need of professional headshots.
Wonderful experience with Mike. Seamless to schedule, relaxed studio, fast turnaround and lovely photos. Highly recommend.
I really enjoyed getting to work with Mr. Shavel; he’s a nice, funny, and all around cool person to be around. As someone who doesn’t like to take photos, I was able to get comfortable in front of the camera relatively quickly with his help! I would 100% recommend him!
Mike is super duper good at getting the angles and different poses. Super patient and makes you feel super comfortable like it’s just another day. Gets your angles too. Great photography!
Mike was absolutely amazing. He was very welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. Not only was he kind, but I loved how my pictures turned out. I have always struggled with self esteem issues and have been hesitant to having photos taken of me; however, Mike made me feel beautiful and I truly loved all of my pictures. Mike is very considerate on pricing and you get what you pay for. I 10/10 recommend to anyone wanting professional pictures taken by this artist.
I love to do shoots every couple of years to satisfy personal creative visions, and document a moment of time.
Mike is one of the best photographers I have had a chance to work with, mainly due to his mature awareness of his technical tools,
lights, creative vision, and overall flow. The lighting work is some of the best I’ve experienced - and we all know it’s all about the lighting! Highly recommend!

Working with mike was fantastic! He’s a great guy and is very talented. I could tell that he knows what he’s doing and he made me feel comfortable. Would definitely highly recommend him! - Jarom
Mike is an awesome photographer to work with. His use of lighting creates different feelings in each type of photo he takes. In addition, he is all for trying out new things and capturing various types of styles his subjects are interested in doing. I came in with all sorts of ideas and he added onto them to make them even more creative. He keeps it light hearted, creates a comfortable environment, and his dog “joe” is the perfect partner in crime on shoot days. - Dana
