ABOUT MIKE
They called me Little Tittel.
We were a crew of BMX-obsessed kids convinced we were the next big thing—even if the nearest track was 200 miles away. I was always the guinea pig, launching off homemade jumps with nothing but grit and a grin. It didn’t always go well, but I always gave ’er heck.
That spirit never left. Fiercely independent and always chasing something with intention, I’ve built a life that goes against the grain—anchored in faith, rooted in family, and lived on purpose. I married my wife just a few months after we met—I knew she was the one. Seventeen years and four kids later, we’re still building a life that doesn’t follow the script—and wouldn’t trade it for anything.
These days, that same energy fuels my work as a commercial and advertising photographer/director. I specialize in bold, high-production visuals that inspire action—whether it’s booking the trip, buying the gear, or just getting outside to live a little louder. My clients span global brands, agencies, and tourism orgs who trust me to capture the real stuff: authentic moments, human connection, and the spirit of place.
My work spans resort and hospitality, destination and tourism, sports and fitness and lifestyle photography.
On set, I’m all in. Climbing, scrambling, sweating—whatever it takes to get the shot. I connect quickly, set the tone, and bring an energy that puts people at ease. My approach is intentional, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that the best visuals don’t just look good—they make people feel something.
At the end of the day, my goal isn’t just to create beautiful work—it’s to build something that lasts. Visuals with impact. Relationships with depth. And a life rooted in intention, faith, and the things I value most.
A LITTLE MORE ABOUT MIKE
Beyond the lens, my guitars are never far from my desk (a different kind of creative outlet that keeps me sharp and humble). Mornings start slow and methodical with a good cup of single-origin coffee—made with a Chemex, of course. We homeschool our kids (okay, my wife does—she’s amazing), which means life is loud, full, and never boring. I thrive on new places, deep conversations, and a good laugh. My wife says I have a healthy dose of FOMO. She’s right.
