Mike Shot This

Born to a Coast Guard Captain and a homemaker, I was raised to have a deep respect for family and hard work. We were a family of six, and the center of our life was the evening dinner table. It’s where court was held, where stories were shared, and where we all learned to laugh and love. At a very early age, I decided photography would be my path. School counselors encouraged me to pursue my dream, which led me to The Art Institute of Atlanta. I completed the program and went on to work with numerous commercial photographers. That’s when the true learning began. Today, as a commercial photographer, I know I’ve found my creative center. For more than 25 years, I’ve made my living doing what I dreamed to do. I manage and shoot projects for companies and advertising agencies all over the world, with the help of a talented crew of friends. This keeps me very busy and very happy.
