Greetings,

I'm Michael, originally hailing from Southern Mississippi before joining the military, it's the home I would later return too. Back in 2000, I embarked on a journey with the United States Air Force, young and ready to see the world while finding my way in it. Destiny took root in 2006, during my time stationed in Lowell, Massachusetts, When my love affair with photography began to bloom. Fast forward to 2014, armed with a photography certification, I introduced the world to From the Lens Photography.

Since then, I've poured my heart and creativity into honing my skills behind the camera. In 2018, I bid adieu to my Air Force career, making photography my sole professional pursuit. This marked the moment when I tentatively dipped my toes into the world of wedding photography. I was determined to deliver nothing short of enchanting imagery that my clients would treasure for their lifetimes.

The turning point came in 2021 when I exchanged vows with my wonderful wife, Brie. Through our journey, we discovered the profound significance not just of the wedding day itself, but also the memories woven within. With my wife taking on the role of a wedding planner, my passion for wedding and engagement photography took flight. 2021 also brought with it an opportunity to join the photo-team for Crusin’ the Coast, the largest classic car show in the US. The following year, 2022, saw me stepping into the role of lead photographer for this week-long extravaganza.

My mission is clear – to meet my clients' expectations head-on, translating their visions into reality through my distinctive shooting style. From my lens to their eyes, it's a journey of creative translation.

Speaking of my style, it's rooted in capturing moments in their most natural and candid essence. While I do use some pre-set poses, I strive to maintain an authentic and spontaneous feel. My aim is to present you with imagery that boasts vibrant hues, deep contrasts, and a touch of enhancement where needed. For a plethora of examples showcasing this style, you need look no further than my portfolio.

If my approach resonates with you and you're intrigued about working together, I'm just a message away. Let's connect, brainstorm, and breathe life into your vision. Whether it's eternalizing wedding memories, encapsulating the essence of your family through portraits, or crafting a striking modeling portfolio, I'm here, ready to channel my time and camera into your aspirations.

Here's to the possibility of working together!

Warm regards,
Michael
