ABOUT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

Mike Gillette

Hello, I’m Mike, a visual storyteller dedicated to capturing the inner light and personality of your child through beautiful portraits. My passion lies in creating a lasting legacy of exceptional artistry, coupled with a kind and patient presence throughout the entire process.
 

My team and I are committed to providing a relaxed and rewarding experience for everyone we photograph, especially those who may feel camera-shy or uncomfortable. We take pride in making each session enjoyable and stress-free.
 

Over the past 20 years, my work has been honored with over a dozen Emmy awards. However, what I cherish most is my advocacy for children with cancer. These incredible kids have taught me profound lessons about life and the importance of family, which have deeply influenced my approach to photography.
 

I aim to create timeless images that truly capture the essence of each person I photograph. Instead of forced or fake smiles, I focus on natural, genuine expressions that highlight the eyes, often called the windows to the soul.
 

I look forward to connecting with you to discuss how I can serve you and your family.

“Our photoshoot with Mike was wonderful. My children are very camera shy and don't like having their photos taken. Within minutes of arriving for the shoot, Mike and his assistant had them laughing and comfortable. The entire process was fun and rewarding for them and the photos are gorgeous. I couldn't be happier!
