What an amazing experience! Michael Schmitt not only helped out us in the 11th hour of trying to find a photographer, but he produced some fantastic pictures for our group. We hired Michael Schmitt Photography while we were hosting an event in Portland and he was kind, listened to what we wanted, and executed accordingly. The turn around time to get our photos was 24-48 hours! So quick! I highly HIGHLY recommend using Michael Schmitt Photography for your next event, reception, wedding, etc.! More...

I have worked with Michael consistently for over 10 years. Over that time he has proven himself to be dependable, attentive, considerate and creative. Always. His attention to detail, mindfulness of the end product is top-notch. He is respectful and a pleasure to work with; he will stick to the budget, the schedule and the scope of the job. I highly recommend Michael to get your job done, and you will have fun doing it. Creative, fun, funny or straight-forward - Michael can do the job for you. More...

Top notch! Little Bay Root has worked with Michael several times and have been more than satisfied every time. Art Directors (like me) can be a handful, but Michael is experienced in anticipating needs, and asking questions, making sure we are always on the same page. We look forward to our next shoot with Michael, which is long overdue! More...

My company has used Michael for still photography of objects, candid portraits, and action shots, all with excellent results. Michael succeeds in the meeting the challenge of properly lighting our glass and other materials to provide something that is both literal and also captures the magic of the material. He knows how to get the best out of people in action, and is a lot of fun to boot. More...

Working with Michael on the Hostelling in Oregon Video project was a great experience. His professionalism and knowledge made the project so much easier to accomplish. Michael had very creative ideas on how to put a marketing video together that connected the audience to the hostel, travel and culture in Portland. More...

It was great working with Michael, I knew from the moment I spoke with him that he'd be the person for the job. He's professional, precise and willing to do whatever it takes to get the shot. We worked on a tight deadline with lots of "what if" moments, but he remained confident that all would work out. I am thankful for his expertise. More...

Michael is the best blend of consummate professional and easy-going. We have worked together on commercial projects that have involved using models from young children to seniors. Not only did Michael handle all details related to scouting and securing the appropriate models and locations, he is at ease with his craft in a way that allows those being photographed to relax in front of the camera. Our client has been thrilled with the results every time. As a designer I appreciate his can-do approach that never compromises quality. More...

I used Michael for an editorial shoot for a magazine, and he was excellent and very professional to work with. He was a great communicator and really spearheaded coming up with shot ideas and scouted around Portland for the shoot. Highly recommend!

TL;DR: hire Michael if you want a responsive, professional, and talented photographer. I had my assistant contact Michael on a Thursday to see if he could shoot my event on a Monday. I know, it wasn't much time. But Michael was so accommodating, spoke with me the same day, and we had a deal set in less than 2 hours. On the day of the event, Michael showed up early to check in with me and make sure we were on the same page. As expected, we were! And the biggest surprise of all is that Michael shot the event and sent me the photos less than 24 hours later!I'd hire him again in a heartbeat. The photos were top notch, as was the experience of working with him. Can I give 10 stars? More...

My family and I have been going to Michael’s Portrait Experience for years now. We always have a lot of fun, and Michael gets great images of us that we look at again and again and will cherish for years.
