Hi. I’m Michael. Or just “Mike” to my best friends. I’m a born-and-raised East-Coaster, trying to make my way out here in the Wild Wild West of Southern California’s Inland Empire. My loves are my tight-knit family, life-long friends, baseball, music, guitar, movies, writing, photography (of course), and storytelling. The medium in which I’ve told MY story over the years has varied. Whether it be through tales around the campfire on a cool autumn night, an autobiographically-inspired “fictitious” screenplay, a self-written & directed video short, or a still-shot created through the lens of my beloved Canon 6D, nothing in this life ignites my creative fire like the Art of Storytelling. Over the last couple of years my love of photography has been front-and-center in that artistic pursuit. This love originated during my Digital Media Production undergrad years at the Art Institute in Boston years ago and has blossomed & flourished out here in my Southern California journey. Now, I must confess…I’m absolutely obsessed with taking photos…capturing moments in time. There is NO place I’d rather be than…well…ANYWHERE with my camera in hand, my eye through the viewfinder. Wherever you may be here in the Inland Empire, from Redlands to Temecula, from Rancho to Riverside (and beyond!), please allow me to capture your precious moments. Whether it be your family’s yearly portraits, your maternity photos, your senior son’s or daughter’s goodbye to high school, or you just want to let loose and feel like a supermodel for a couple of hours, I vow to help make YOUR story one for the ages. I hope to see you soon…:)
Mike
