I'm Michael — a brand photographer and filmmaker based in Oceanside, California, working with businesses across Carlsbad, Oceanside and North County San Diego, with four years in Waco, Texas along the way, where I shot photography for Chip and Joanna Gaines and served as creative director for a church plant. That mix of big-brand polish and hands-on, from-scratch creative work is exactly what I bring to every shoot.

Brands I've Worked With
Calvin Klein Magnolia Hallmark TYR Sports Tomahawk Power Coastal Core Pilates Merenda Wine Bar Burtech Winery Ride1Up Bikes

From brands you know to the mom-and-pop shop down the street, the job doesn't change. As a creative director, photographer, and videographer, my work is to add real value — high-quality, consistent content that builds brand awareness and drives results.
