Hattiesburg Family Photographer

We help Hattiesburg families capture who they are right now, before this version of them is gone.

Hi, I’m Michael

My mission: turning your most precious relationships into art.

I’m a Mississippi newborn, family and senior photographer helping busy families capture these precious years of your child’s life with a joyful and laid-back photography experience.

I’m not the photographer who hands you a link to digital files and leaves you to figure it out. From your first consultation to your private ordering appointment, I’ll be with you every step of the way.
 

I’ll take care of every detail from the first conversation to the day you receive your personalized artwork.

Why Work With Me

Full Service

From inquiry to installed artwork, my goal is to capture this special time in your family’s life and not give you more work to do after the session.

Heart

As a dad of three, I realize how quickly those early years pass, I’m currently living it! I promise to treat your family as if I was photographing my own.

Experience

I’ve been photographing families since 2007. That’s 19+ years of working with families and small children. I’ve seen and experienced it all.

Frequently Asked Questions

Joyful & laidback, relaxed/natural posing to look your best. My colors are true to life & film inspired.

When picking outfits we recommend keeping in mind the word “complement” rather than “match.” For example, if Dad is wearing a blue and pink pastel plaid shirt, the Mom may want to choose a long, soft blue dress. It can also be a great idea to choose “color-families,” such as pastels or jewel tones.

A good rule of thumb: pick 3 or so colors and spread them throughout the family. Don’t be afraid to mix a few subtle patterns or textures (such as linen). 

And always keep the location in mind. If we’re shooting in a green field, light green dresses might blend in too much with the surroundings. 

Yes, for in-home sessions I travel all over the south of Mississippi (Hattiesburg, Columbia, Biloxi), south Alabama (Fairhope, Gulfshores, Mobile), and Florida (Pensacola, Perdido Key, Pensacola Beach, and Gulf Breeze)

Your ordering session is when you will see your images, and this will take place within two weeks of your session. We schedule this ahead of time so you will know exactly when you will see your images.

Hattiesburg Family Photographer

My family moved to Richton, Mississippi at the end of 2019 from the Pensacola, Florida area. We have fallen in love with our little town and the surrounding areas. We love the Pecan Festival here locally, Updown and the Zoo in Hattiesburg, the YMCA in Petal, and the many parks we have to burn off that energy.

I would love to be your Hattiesburg family photographer
