👍🏽 Thanks for your guidance, patience , professionalism and quick turnaround I had photos that I had taken with my iPhone. I knew that I wanted to enhance the quality and turn them into “showpieces“ but had no idea what needed to be done. Mike was extremely patient and tolerant as he guided me through the process of what should be done. He did a tremendous amount of edits. I was very pleased at how affordable he was when he finally sent me proofs. I continued however to offer suggestions and he continued to work and offer proofs until I was satisfied. HOWEVER, his price did not continue to increase with his efforts. GREAT JOB TO MIKE- I WILL DEFINITELY USE HIM AGAIN!!! James G

I hired Mike for a last-minute engagement photo shoot, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! Due to family scheduling conflicts, we could only arrange the session on Thanksgiving Day. Mike graciously sacrificed his holiday to accommodate us, and I am truly grateful for his dedication. He was incredibly thorough and professional throughout the entire shoot. Mike took his time to capture all of my pre-planned shots and also came prepared with his own researched poses to ensure we got the best results possible. When I received my photos—remarkably, within just one day—I was absolutely thrilled with his work. The images are beautiful, breathtaking, and expertly composed with excellent lighting. I also want to mention that Mike has a wonderful eye for capturing all skin tones beautifully. As someone with dark skin, I’ve sometimes worried about photographers being able to find my best angles and work with lighting appropriately, but this was not a concern whatsoever with Mike. He made me look and feel amazing. I would book Mike again without hesitation and have already been recommending him to my friends and family. Choosing him was absolutely the right decision!

If we could give 6 stars, we would. Mike stands out above and beyond all of the rest for a private photo shoot. Don’t waste your time with expensive companies or anybody who will overcharge you and then make you purchase every picture individually. Mike was the most responsive of everybody that we reached out to, down to earth, reasonably priced, and gives you 100 or more professionally edited, extremely high-quality beautiful photos with an extremely fast turnaround time. We did a family photo shoot with our three young children, and they were laughing and smiling the entire time because of his warmth and humor. So many gorgeous, professional shots with a perfect balance of candids and portraits. Mike thrives on candids in my opinion. Nothing generic about these. Hire Mike with full confidence. We will do all of our future family pictures with him, no doubt about it.
