Our office used Michael to take professional color headshots. Michael was very easy to work with, extremely accommodating and overall made the process very painless. Everyone is pleased with their new photos. I look forward to working with Michael again!

Michael is the whole packageCreative, technically skilled, and great to work with. We use him on a regular basis for half-day and all-day shoots for our school, and he always goes above and beyond. We usually have a very heavy shoot sheet, and he never complains about the amount of work. The students love him, and the end result of pictures are always beautiful. He has an eye that catches that extra something. You will be delighted by his work!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Very simply jobs are generally all different. I like to quote them specific to the clients expectations. An all day commercial job will be priced differently than a corporate headshot or family session.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Most importantly I want to know what their objectives and goals are. That will ensure success and happiness all around. Also it allows me to be better prepared for the photo shoot.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a photographer for over 25 years. I keep up with the latest photography trends, including cameras and software. I teach photography and how to use software (photoshop, lightroom) at a college level.
