 ABOUT MICHAEL:
Michael photographs people for many personal and professional uses and has been active in photography for more than 30 years. His primary goal is to help each client produce the image that makes them LookBetterOnline.

"Come as camera-ready as possible," Michael says. "Our hair and make up services are not makeovers, but a maximization of your assets for the camera."
 
I first talk to you so I can get to know you and the look you want to achieve. We will discuss wardrobe, hair, makeup and whether we will shoot just in studio or at a local location or a combination of both. I strive to make you comfortable and relaxed so together we can produce great images of you.
