Hi!

I'm Michael, a portrait & lifestyle photographer and filmmaker

In the last few years I've learned that photographing people requires so much more than good technical knowledge. It's about knowing how to be a calming presence for all the anxiety and insecurities that can come with photoshoots. So I take great pride in making my sessions super fun and relaxing. All the years I spent as an improvisor definitely helps me build trust quickly and effortlessly with every person in front of my camera. I want the real you to come out in the 1 to 2 hours we have together so I can portray you as naturally and authentically as possible.

My technical skills with a camera come from the filmmaking side where I started. After moving to Los Angeles from Houston to pursue directing over 15 years ago, I began to photograph more and more friends in my downtime. I learned that I loved capturing stills just as much as I do motion.

Since that time I've been fortunate to photograph Oscar winning actors and directors, Grammy winning artists and songwriters, iconic athletes, and plenty of future stars in music, voice acting, social media, and more. Let's add you to that list.

Hit me up and let's create.
