Hi, I’m Mike. I tell stories with photos. That's me on the left with the love of my life Becky Lee.

Welcome to my blog, The Life Photographic. All of my photography is personal and this is where I keep track of it.

I believe in following what is true, and good, and beautiful. I like to mix traditional with street photography/documentary techniques and add a bit of humor and soul to every shoot. The result are images that are good, beautiful and true. I hope you like my work. I would love to set up a consultation and see if we don’t click and if I can’t be the one to tell your story.

Thanks for viewing.

Jen + Alex: Black & White

When I edit I do three things… I keep in my heart the feeling I had while interacting with the people I photograph, I cue up songs on iTunes that “fit” the day/the couple, and I try to develop a few different edits that just “work” for the images. I always have an idea, before a shoot, what I want the images to look like, how I want them to feel.

For Jen and Alex I developed a post production that mimicked some one of my favorite black and white films I shoot with when shooting street photography. Following are a few images as a result of that process.
