Testimonials
Mike is a remarkable photographer and a remarkable professional. Getting my picture taken is no easy thing for me, and Mike made me so relaxed and comfortable. And throughout the process Mike was ultra-responsive, and he turned around everything really quickly. There are a lot of people around who take pictures. Mike, though, is a masterful photographer--technically, intellectually. Emotionally, too. You couldn't be in better hands working with him.
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!

I have never worked with a photographer like Mike!! He is wonderful and makes sure that you truly feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. I absolutely LOVE the moments he captured and he is an absolute joy to talk to!! I highly recommend working with him. - Jules (March 2023)
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
SUPER talented, easy going, and very professional. I was beyond happy with the pictures and I’m super picky. Would be lucky to work with Mike! - Fletcher
