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: English Tea Time at the Crown & Crumpet

I mentioned in a previous post that Jen and Alex wanted to have a traditional English tea time on their non-traditional wedding day. So we headed off to the Crown and Crumpet. I can’t say enough good things about this little tea room. Beautiful soft light. An amazing staff. Unheard of service. They even provided a little cake and bride and groom toppers for Jen & Alex’s visit. Really, I was just blown away by this little place. I will always try and find a way to work a stop into their little shop for every San Francisco couples session.
