Mike was so great to work with from beginning to end. He did my court and reception shoot. The photos he captured were undeniably beautiful. His personality compliments his work, he was truly a pleasure and made my husband and I so comfortable. I’d book him again any day! More...

I recommend Mike to my friends and family all the time! He shot my wedding during the summer and what I liked was that he took his time to get the best result!
He came to take family photos and headshots for our business recently and did a phenomenal job. Definitely will book again for our future needs!

I'm always in awe of Mike's work. His attention to detail is everything and so important for what I've used his photos for. Not only that, but his outgoing personality makes being directed by him so effortless. He makes it look easy, but when I see the end results, I know the time and effort he puts into his work is worth it all! More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Great Lighting, Composition, and Vision. A great photograph requires a story to be told with just one image. Having command of the lighting and environment and being able to direct a crowd or subject is paramount to ensure success in photography.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What do you aim to accomplish with me as your photographer? What kind of photos do you like? Have you ever had your photos taken professionally? What are you looking most forward to for your event or project? Who's your favorite music artist? What kind of hobbies do you like?
What do you love most about your job?
Meeting new people! Throughout my many years of shooting professionally, I have gotten to meet so many amazing people from so many different cultures and professions. My work has spanned several different Religious events and locations that are so beautiful that I am grateful to know exist. My life has been action-packed and I'm grateful to have my work be appreciated by my clients and their guests, some of whom have come from places such as New Zealand, England, Egypt, and China to name a few!
What inspired you to start your own business?
Life is what you make it. Having control over your own workflow, hours, clients, and continuously investing in yourself and your product is what defines success to me. Being a small business owner is exciting as you get out what you put in. I'm open to trying new things and working with new people and I aim in the future to build others into working for themselves.
Why should our clients choose you?

I am a people person and enjoy making guests excited to have their picture taken. I also have incredible insight into Long Island and New York City and can come up with some incredible shoot locations. Not only will you love your photos but you will enjoy the process of shooting them!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
My shoots are in person of course! Remotely I do connect with my clients over the phone and text! I welcome any questions from my clients at any time. Even if it's bringing up an idea. Some of my best work has come from clients simply asking me if it's possible to shoot their idea!
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
With COVID-19 restrictions far behind us I am pleased to state that all normal operating procedures have resumed. Of course, I welcome clients who require special accommodations. Health and Safety is important to me and I will welcome any client request regarding safety procedures. Aside from health and safety accommodations, I work with any client that has vision, hearing, and cognitive disabilities because everyone deserves great photos regardless of who's in front of the camera!
