authentically photographing life in all its chapters and complexities
Not just your photographer. Your story is incredibly important, and getting to know you and your story plays a huge role in how I document this new chapter of yours in a way that makes you feel like you’re reliving every moment in each photo.
After photographing weddings for ten years in Chicago, Asheville, coast to coast, and across international borders, I’ve been a part of over 350 celebrations covering a wide array of cultures, traditions, and rule breakers. Knowing that every story is different, my goal is to help you plan your day in a way that allows you to have fun, relax, and live in the moment, while still creating photos you and your loved ones will cherish for years to come.
Family photos that feel real. Sessions are carefully crafted and catered to every family, allowing you to feel comfortable and have fun together. No matter what chapter you’re at in life, I document your story by creating memories through activity and exploration together.
Whether at home and in the back yard, at your favorite playground, in the heart of the city, or out in the woods to run wild, these moments are incredibly fleeting. Family can be gentle and chaotic all at the same time - embrace the unplanned and let’s get it all on camera!
Photography with a mission to help protect the disappearing rainforests around the globe. Mike from the Jungle Branch captures stories of all kinds in order to help support communities and conservation programs in the Peruvian Amazon, the mountain jungles of Sumatra Indonesia, and Western North Carolina.
The Give Back program also works to benefit Soul & Soil Project, a cooperatively-stewarded nonprofit organization based in WNC promoting regenerative lifestyles through food sovereignty and creativity. After living part time in Asheville and part time in Chicago for ten years, Mike moved to Asheville in the fall of 2022 to help his sister, founder of SSP, and their team, in hopes to build and inspire a more sustainable future together.
