Introduction

I listen to what my clients want and I try to make an honest effort to give them the results they want with complete satisfaction. I'm professional but personal. I also offer several discounts, if you pay with cash, are a referral from a client, don't need quick delivery of photos, or if you simply just like my work and really want to work with me. I can also add these features to any photo if needed: -smooth skin -whiten teeth -edit objects out of a photo -cover blemishes -brighten eyes I enjoy the challenge of working in a fast-paced industry where I get the opportunity to meet new people and experience new things. I would love to work with you to help capture you or your next event!

Mike was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend to anyone who needs a photographer for their corporate event. He captured the shots that were needed and delivered photos in a very timely manner. Mike jumped in and shot 2 different events in 2 days for us. From beginning to end my experience with Mike was top notch.

Details: Corporate event • 50 - 99 guests • Indoors • Digital or online download

I loved this event! Facebook provided a lot of great info to the community and these events are tremendously helpful to business owners and people wanting to utilize Facebooks tools. Thanks so much Michael.

We needed acting headshots and in a hurry! Not only did he book us in last minute, but was very patient (some photographers rush through) and captured my daughters beautiful personality and features perfectly! He also helped us in selecting the headshots. There were so many we liked! Definitely worth it!

Your daughter did a great job, can’t wait to see what work she gets!

I contacted Mike about taking professional headshots for a colleague of mine in our Cincinnati office. Being hundreds of miles away in Texas, I greatly appreciated Mike's responsiveness and professionalism. The photos came out great and were done in a matter of days. Thanks Mike!

It was really great working with Mike where he covered the 1st birthday party for my daughter,. This was indeed a special occasion for us with friends and family. Mike arrived well ahead of time and took some great candid shots of us and also with all the guests that arrived. He has very patient and took some great shots of all and especially the children. He has taken some great pictures and shared with us the best of the lot. All my guests loved his work and in future again will love to work with Mike. Thank you.
