MJ’s Interweb Open House!

Thanks for stopping by! Sit back, relax, and go grab a drink...get ready for a glimpse into "my world". Enjoy this area. It's for you, my clients, friends, and family. Here, you'll get sneak peeks into my latest photo shoots and glimpses into my crazy world!

A hopeless believer that I'll one day make the PGA (Profesional Golfers Association) Tour, I'm just your average guy. I'm Michael. I'm a father, husband, son, brother, and dog lover. I've got the most beautiful wife, the smartest, funniest, and most handsome son, the sweetest baby girl, and a dog who loves me unconditionally. I love my life. It's simple, uncomplicated, and I wouldn't change it for the world.

I write, eat, shave, and brush my teeth left-handed. Everything else (throwing a football, etc.) I do right-handed. What's that mean? Who knows. I like to think that I've got the best of both worlds...I'm structured and creative. Take a look at my work and you'll see those traits shining through!

Cheers!

My Gear Bag

Without fail, I always get asked what I shoot with, what brand I prefer, etc. Whether it’s from clients who want to “ensure” that I’ve got the necessary tools or from tech-heads who are just curious, the questions, while relevant, should be thought of from a few angles. The first thing to remember is that these tools are just that…tools. While they technically help generate the final product, it is the Photographer’s vision that paints the image. Secondly, one needs to ensure that their photographer is prepared in the event that something goes awry. Do they have backups? Are they prepared for the worst case scenario? Are you going to entrust your memories to someone who isn’t prepared? And lastly, I’m a Nikon brand guy. Why? Because I started with them, I know them, and I trust in their products. Who do you trust?
