  • This was my second time shooting with Mike! I don’t have to talk about his photos, it’s evident how talented he is if you look through his Insta. I do want to mention that not only is he really easy to talk to and relay ideas with but he is so funny, there will not be a single boring moment with Mike! I always recommend him to anyone who asks me about photographers.

  • After recently working with Micheal on a branding photoshoot I couldn’t be happier with the end result! From helping to draft my initial concept/vision to executing the final images he was professional and enthusiastic during each step of the process. He truly went above and beyond by creating a mood-board for us to reference throughout the shoot, directing me on posing and props, as well as allowing me to select the final images from an online gallery. Trust me when I say that Micheal knows how to capture the perfect image for any occasion and you won’t be disappointed when choosing his services! 5 stars and then some, highly recommended! :)
