Michael photographed my high schools prom. While we were devastated because noone would do it for the small amount of people we had, Michael came through in the nick of time.

​

He was sooooo communicative. He called me multiple times to confirm details and make sure everything was perfect for us. He was promptly on time, he was professional.

 

Every prom I've Been to the photos were bad. We'd always used the standard LifeTouch, where they had us stand, took the photo and made us leave. Michael on the other hand took time so that we were positioned comfortably and attractively. He showed us our photos and if we weren't happy with them he allowed us to do them again. He made sure that when I find this photo 20 years from now I will smile at the memory instead of cringe and think, "God what was I thinking!"

 

Michaels prices were so great! Each student had the opportunity to make this wonderful memory permanent with a photo.

​

Michael went ABOVE and BEYOND my expectations. In my moments of sheer panic he came through and made my last High School dance a memorable one!

 

I would recommend Michael to anyone who was looking for creativity, professionalism, and good customer service.

Michael Valentine was absolutely WONDERFUL!

​

Stop looking! You've found your photographer!

Michael Valentine was the last photographer I spoke with after inteviewing many. Immediatly I was confindent he knew what he was doing and was convinced I had someone special coming into our home to help us capture the moments that we will treasure for years.

​

I had many conversations, emails, and texts with Michael before our photo shoot where I had questions and he had all the answers. He was very quick with all his responses making us feel great about what type of event we had in the making.

​

We discussed many locations within our area and he even sent us samples from some of the places he mentioned! we ended up deciding to use my mother in laws home in order to capture their "real life" for our gift to them for their 40th wedding anniversary/family photo shoot with a total of 12 people (4 families)

​

Michael visited the location a few days prior to the shoot so he could get a good feel and have some ideas prepared for us when everyone arrived. Michael discussed arriving a little early to the shoot in order to get set up which was perfect. He arrived and unloaded and was in absolutly no rush to get us going.

​

We had kids who were running around wild but he was more than patient with them. Once we began he had the best ideas already planned. We had our big family picture on the staircase of the house which he had taken sample shots testing the lighting during setup so once he had us postioned there was no waiting, just shooting caputruing the greatest shots I have ever seen. After we were done with the big one he took in to consideration that the individual ones of the kids should be next, making total sense because I know my son would be getting tired of posing for the camera and he wanted to get them alert and at their best!

​

Once the kids were done we moved on to family pictures for my sister in law and her kids as well as the rest of us. He took time positioning us and making sure everyone was looking their best. He always took plenty of shots in each pose just to make sure we had many to choose from.

​

I will mention the one I absolutly love, (even though they all are great) was when he dimmed the flash and caught me and my son in a very sweet and and loving moment. I will treasure forever!

 

Once the shoot was over he immediatly started downloading all of our images and making a beautiful slideshow. He individually took each family and spent as much time that they needed going through all possible options and putting in his professional opinion. We all had questions and different ideas which he was able to accomodate all of them. He was very persanol when he was speaking to us which made him feel more like a friend then a photographer that we hired. All in all I would absolutly reccomend him to anyone who is looking for a photographer and would give him an outstanding review to anyone who asked!!!
