I’ve served couples from all over, and from all walks of life. And I can’t wait to have you join the many amazing couples whom I’ve gotten to know over the years.
I love the vastness of nature and architecture. The feeling of a warm mug in my hands, or the sound of a camera shutter bring me joy. I guess you could say I’m experiential. And that’s exactly what I want for you. I want you to be fully immersed in your session or wedding day; because great moments aren’t faked, they’re lived. Ready to book your photography experience? Let’s do this!

’m Micah… but you probably knew that by now! What you probably don’t know is that I’m a photographer… Ok, let me try this again…
I’m a former fire-spinning dance instructor, science teacher, barista, Spider-Man fan, and a martial arts hobbyist- turned photographic artist. Phew!

A snapshot into my life

S'mores with Kit, hikes with Kit, movie nights with Kit... life with Kit. Kit is my amazing and inspiring wife. She and I have recently taken up roller skating; her on quads, and me on inlines. She's an ultramarathon runner, sweater/blanket enthusiast, and avid reader (mostly fiction/fantasy). To say that she's perfect for me would be an understatement.
She's planning to attend university in France to continue to pursue her career in medicine. Et oui, elle parle très bien français :)

Before it was from behind a lens, my love for creating while connecting with people was initially found in a cup. My last year of high school, I walked into a coffee shop/roaster and asked for an internship, and I walked out with a job. A job I loved for years to come.
My time as a barista married my passion for listening and connecting to a form of making/artistry; a combination I thought I'd only find in the world of coffee. That is, until photography came along!

to me, to my family, to clients, and to strangers. Photography can allow us to see people, situations, and even ourselves differently. Or it can be an act of rebellion to the passing of time, capturing the essence of a moment for those whom the moment matters most.
This is why I do what I do, and I'm honored to do it.

Making photography that matters...
We were so stressed with the day's events and he kept us calm! He made taking pictures so fun and easy. He also made sure we had a photo schedule, that way there were no hiccups and everyone knew when they needed to take photos.
Micah has by far the best communication skills I have seen in a while! He made sure to stay in contact before, during, and after. He was so patient with my busy schedule and made it easy to respond to. I highly recommend him!
