“Mike is a uniquely talented, passionate, and artistic photographer with a quirk for creating new and spectacularly different shots to whatever you need. He has become my go-to for cosplay shots because he is able to take my seedling of an idea and turn it into a beautiful and unique work of art through his unique eye and skill with lighting and posing.
He is very thorough in the planning of the shoot and makes getting to know you a priority, so he knows exactly what you are looking for in your photos. He’s super personable and funny, which makes for a great and fun shoot while staying focused on getting the right product for your needs.
Mike is also very open-minded to suggestions and will always try something new and different with lighting if it could add value and a unique personal quality to your photos! He’s very quick to respond and very organized and prompt on the shoot day. He will go the extra mile to make sure you are getting the photos you want and need.
You will be very, very happy that you have hired Mike as your photographer!”

The Conceptual Portrait Process
Inquiry Consult
We chat over Zoom, and I learn all about your vision! This is where we’ll also make sure that I’m the right portrait photographer for you.
Custom Proposal
I build a custom quote based on your vision, needs, and goals based on our initial consultation.
Contract & Invoice
Things are officially starting to get real! If all looks good in the proposal, you’ll sign a contract and pay a 50% deposit.
Time to plan
We’ll meet for an hour and discuss logistics — wardrobe, styling, hair and makeup, location, props, the whole nine yards! The prep time ensures our session goes perfectly! My goal is to have all the details figured out before your shoot so we can show up and just have fun.
Shoot Prep
I’ll send over parking instructions & some tips to prepare for your session, like when to get a haircut, how to prepare your wardrobe, all those important bits. We’ll also gather wardrobe, props, and whatever we need for an awesome shoot!
The Session
You get pampered by a hair and makeup artist before we laugh our way through your session. I’ll guide you through all the poses and expressions we need to nail your vision. And we’ll shoot tethered so you can see results in real-time and suggest changes or iterations!
Culling
After your session, I’ll review the images and remove the blinks, weird faces, and test shots. By this point, I’ll have narrowed them down to a select few for you to review.
Reveal & Ordering
I’ll show off your images, and together, we’ll decide what printed artwork works best for your home so you can purchase your favorite images as stunning printed products. Then, I’ll get into the nitty-gritty editing (skin blemishes, stray hairs, clothing wrinkles, and more).
Delivery & Close Out
I’ll share the edited images to the online gallery so you can request any final revisions to ensure they’re exactly how you’d imagined. The online gallery is also available for you to download and share your portraits with the world! If artwork is purchased, I’ll place the order with my partner labs after all edits are approved.
You can also watch the video below to see the process in action!
“Working with Mike was excellent. I supplied examples of the lighting and other visual effects I was hoping for. He was able to create them flawlessly. This was impressive – something other photographers I have worked with weren’t able to do. All the planning for the shoot was well-organized. We had a smooth day at the studio. His edits were quick and pristine. I’m very happy with the final portraits.”
