Some of our favorite stories bridge the gap between our personal passions and our professional life. So, no matter if you’re taking your hobby to the next level or a seasoned pro, these professional photos will perfectly illustrate your personality and skill, tell your business’s story, and set your work apart.
The best photos help preserve your most meaningful memories - from gathering with loved ones and laughing over fond memories to the more challenging times of life.
Whether you want to celebrate the graduation of your
eldest child or document your strength as you fight cancer, I provide the right approach, decorum, and empathy to preserve these memories beautifully.
Each turned into photographs you can look back on for years to come.
Memories - Milestones - Adventures - Events - Experiences
…PERSONALLY OR
PROFESSIONALLY.
SHOWCASE YOUR JOURNEY…
My unobtrusive approach to storytelling is complimented by my personable and enjoyable method for capturing posed portraits.
ORGANIC + PHOTOJOURNALISTIC
Because I have a warm, bold, and timeless editing style, you'll receive incredible images that shine for years to come.
RICH, TRUE TO LIFE STYLE
Your milestones will be preserved through local, handmade, and high-quality keepsakes, that I will design specifically for you.
MEMORIES MADE TANGIBLE
People often ask how my clients look so comfortable in front of the camera, and the secret is a guided experience and trust.
As soon as you reach out, we’ll set up a call to get to know each other. And I’ll give you access to full, sample galleries so you can get a feel for the way I direct a session from the start.
Throughout the process, I'll be a quick email or text away to honestly answer any questions you have leading up to our session.
Getting comfortable in front of the camera starts long before your session begins.
Printing your photos is the best way to bookmark important memories and share them with those you love. But life moves quickly, and neither of us wants your meaningful moments to sit forgotten online or shrunk down to the size of your phone screen. That's why all of my packages include a professionally printed product from a local photo finishing lab that specializes in handmade, luxury artwork.
03. DONE-FOR-YOU DESIGN AND PRINTING
Count on me to create photo magic, no matter the location or time of day. My distinctive lighting style makes for consistent and beautiful portraits in the studio, in your home, or outside. So, you won't have to choose between having a beautiful background or a meaningful one.
02. YOUR STORY, BROUGHT TO LIFE
Using a people-first, collaborative approach to understand the details, people, and interactions that mean the most to you, I'll create custom packages tailored to your project. Then, after I guide you through my unique offerings, I'll help select meaningful locations or props to best illustrate your story too.
01. FULLY CUSTOM EXPERIENCE
A Guided Experience
“Scrolling through Mike’s Instagram and portfolios we saw more than beautiful pictures, they were works of art. The images spoke volumes for his style, talent and ability to give us the kind of images we desired.”
They Were Works of Art

What They're Saying
At each session, I dig into the essence of what
people care about and bring light to the moments
and stories that define them.
We'll work together to find the best medium
to express your story, be it a series that follows
baby bump to first birthday or a
unique short film (with audio!) that follows an elderly
family member interacting with loved ones.
This way, we capture all of the moments that
matter in a way that makes sense for your story.
Spruce Street Stories specializes in
sharing the heart behind the story.
I design and create printed products that truly honor the emotional significance of your story for years to come. After your session, we'll [meet up for an in-person image reveal] to unveil your final images and collaborate on the design of your newest family heirloom.
That way, you'll get exactly what you're looking for without ever feeling overwhelmed!
Celebrate any season of life with a completely custom heirloom that fits your specific story and sense of style.
In order to give incredible, white-glove service to every client, I have limited 2023 dates available. Collections begin at $1295.
Someday, we'll look back at our lives and realize our biggest joys were found in the seemingly ordinary moments of our day-to-day interactions.
Don't let them slip away.
