From Past Clients

Showing the Love

"Working with Mikey was truly a pleasure. He made sure to find out what was important to us and planned the shoot accordingly. He got all the important pictures as well as some surprise ones that bring us joy. He was calm and professional and working with him was super smooth. The finished product is excellent and we continue to enjoy that special day through the beautiful pictures that Mikey took."

"Mikey is a talented photographer and so easy and pleasant to work with. From start to finish, he made the entire process smooth, clear, and really listened to what our needs were. The results are in the pictures - stunning pieces of art. His calm demeanor and midos tovos really shine forth in his working with clients. Best photographer we've hired and wouldn't hesitate to hire him again."

" Mikey is friendly, patient, and professional and we love working with him! We booked him for each of our sons' hanachat tefillin at the kotel along with a family photo shoot and we are thrilled with both sets of pictures. He knew exactly which questions to ask in advance so that he captured all the moments that were most important to us and was already there waiting for us when we arrived. Mikey took time to speak to our son at the beginning of the day to make sure he was comfortable and the results are evident in the most beautifully natural, candid shots of the bar mitzvah boy and the rest of the family. He edited the pictures and got them back to us so quickly and he helped us make decisions before we sent anything to print. We are so grateful for the way he documented our special milestones."

We just had a photo shoot with Mikey, and we were so so happy with him! From the start, he was so helpful and accommodating, from making sure we go to the best spot, to coordinating a good time, he was flexible and pleasant, and he was great with our little girls. The pictures came out GREAT and we highly recommend Mikey as your next choice of photographer! Yosef and Tovi Blass

Mikey Swinkin is an excellent photographer, and I would recommend that families hire him for their photo session. Prior to the photo shoot, he asked specific, detailed questions to find out what type of pictures our family would prefer to have from our photo session. He visited several outdoor locations to find the best place for our photo shoot, with the right amount of shade and greenery in the background. Mikey is very patient, especially when photographing young children and with an especially large group of people, and while working under time constraints. The photos were edited and sent quickly. They came out beautiful, and really captured special family occasions!
