Much like the previous reviewer, Laurie, we came to Michael through a prize from a charity function, without much knowledge about his work. We had a bit of a mix up on the time for our initial meeting, and he really bent over backwards to make things right (which impressed me). Our session was also a good experience. Like Laurie, we also have two very active little boys, and somehow he managed to get even our 2 year old interested in the picture taking process. The final photographs capture their personalities better than I ever could have hoped, and we ended up with an amazing set of proofs from which to choose. The only way it was even possible to choose just a few photographs was that each one seemed to outshine the last (which was also unbelievably good). The artistry behind our photographs is top notch, and Michael really created true works of art that will hang on our walls. I definitely recommend Michael for anyone looking for an extra special photograph. Top notch!
