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.

Trish – Santa Cruz Senior Portraits

Trish found me via the Interwebs. I liked her style right off the bat, she got right to the point. Her email went something like, “Hey, I’m a senior. I like your work. Especially that one senior session at that one place. You know, the one with the girl and the guitar.”

I normally try to change things up with the locations I shoot at, but Trish really wanted to shoot at “that one place.” So we set it up. This is what happened.
