About the Photographer

Michael has been photographing the Natural Beauty of the region since 1985. He now has many years of experience and has established a positive reputation in the central Dutchess County community where he lives and works. The photographer's style is a perfect blend of traditional and photo-journalism.  His artistic flair is very evident in all of his outdoor work as he applies his natural talent as an artist to his photography.

   Mike has also been capturing people's portraits for many years. His goal in portraiture is to capture how people really are in that moment in an artful way. He has many ways of helping clients feel at ease in front of the camera, comfortable enough to have fun. He's really good at capturing people when they aren't thinking about things like how they look, or how their pictures are going turn out.
