Mike is an amazing photographer. He is fantastic to work with and we always have so many choices of great photos that its hard to choose which ones to print. Our kids adore him because he interacts with them and gets the best expressions. Weve hired him for family photos for the past 2.5 years and we highly recommend working with him. He is well worth every penny.

Mike is an amazing family photographer! Our kids are super, super active (huge understatement). Mike kept it fun and engaging the whole time for our two wild kids. The end result was really high quality photos and no tears. I highly recommend him.

My husband and I used Mike for our maternity photos at Gas Works. We had the absolute best experience! Mike was so professional during the entire shoot and made us feel extremely comfortable. He helped to create some really incredible memories for us. We are also using Mike for our photo shoot when we welcome our baby. I cannot recommend Mike enough for your next professional photoshoot! You will not be disappointed with the work he does. We are overwhelmed with how much we love each and every shot!

Mike took all three of my son's high school senior photos. Five years ago and being the first to do this, the oldest was a little unsure of the photo-shoot concept -and it being all about "him." I can still recall very clearly and fondly afterwards him saying to me "That was actually fun!" Fast forward to this spring when when Mike took my youngest son's pictures. He was able to get him to smile - and so nicely! - something my son refuses to do for family candid shots. Mike has incredible talent with his subjects, making them appear confident and at ease. Mike has humor, grace and artistic insight

Mike did such a great job with our family photos. Our 3 year old is pretty shy of strangers and started the session nervous and wouldnt smile. Mike really worked to win her over until she was smiling and laughing the rest of the time, so much so she asked about him for the next 3 days.
Also, Im thrilled with all of the photos and his session fee is very fairly priced. I highly recommend!
